The device supports PCIe NVMe drives with capacities up to 8 TB, offering impressive read speeds of up to 3641 MB/s and write speeds of up to 3498 MB/s. Thanks to its compatibility with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, and USB 3.x, it works well in both macOS and Windows environments. Its compact size, aluminum construction, and silent operation make it a practical solution for content creators, professionals, and users who need fast access to data anywhere.
The D1 SSD Plus was designed for users working with large files, such as 4K video footage, graphic design projects, or extensive photo libraries. The USB4 interface provides a bandwidth of up to 40 Gb/s, which significantly reduces the time needed to copy and transfer data. In practice, transferring a 3 GB file can take about one second, making your daily work more efficient. The enclosure’s high performance allows you to take full advantage of modern PCIe NVMe SSDs, eliminating bottlenecks when working on large projects.
The enclosure supports M.2 NVMe 2280 drives with capacities up to 8 TB, allowing you to conveniently expand your storage space without having to replace your computer. Compatibility with Thunderbolt 5/4/3, as well as USB4, USB 3.2, USB 3.1, and USB 3.0, allows for easy connection to a wide range of devices and workstations. The D1 SSD Plus supports popular file systems, including APFS, NTFS, exFAT, FAT32, and EXT4, which facilitates cross-platform compatibility. Additionally, it can serve as a boot drive for macOS, providing even greater flexibility in its applications.
TerraMaster has implemented a passive, fanless cooling system, allowing the device to operate completely silently. The full aluminum alloy enclosure increases the heat dissipation surface area, which helps maintain a stable temperature even during heavy disk load. Effective cooling ensures high transfer performance is maintained over extended periods. The absence of moving parts also means a lower risk of failure and a more comfortable working environment in the office, studio, or while recording audio and video.
The one-piece metal enclosure is designed for everyday use and frequent transport. Its compact size and light weight make it easy to carry, so the D1 SSD Plus is ideal for both travel and mobile work. Built-in safeguards protect against short circuits, power surges, and electrostatic discharge, ensuring stable data transfer. The combination of a durable design, energy-efficient operation, and advanced protective mechanisms makes this enclosure a reliable solution for storing and transporting important files.
