The Transporter Lite 2TB Portable SSD from Patriot Memory does operate on the USB 3.2 Gen 2 bus but is fully compatible with previous USB generations. It can be purchased with capacities of 512GB, 1TB, 2TB or 4TB, while the rated speeds are 1000MB/s for reads and the same 1000MB/s for writes.

The drive is shipped inside a compact cardboard enclosure, which shows a photo of the product, but also the total capacity of the SKU:

On the back, we will note the rated read/write speeds, details on the Patriot corporate offices but also the code name and serial number. A QR code is available for accessing the detailed product information online:

The drive is wrapped inside a semi-transparent plastic bag, but also fixed by a cardboard mold, so it won’t be damaged during transit. The data transfer cable is located inside a transparent re-sealable bag:

The USB cable is USB-C on the drive end, while on the computer end it is USB-C, with a handy USB-A adapter for even higher compatibility:

The USB-A adapter is easily detachable, and it is linked to the rest of the cable to avoid loss:

The drive measures 107mm x 32.5mm and weights only 40g! The red aluminum housing looks cool and allows efficient heat dissipation; the product branding and capacity is also printed on the chassis:

The aluminum is machined on the back for offering a good grip:
