Corsair has launched the EX300U, a new portable USB-C SSD designed for high-speed storage and mobile convenience. The drive supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 with up to 10 Gbps bandwidth and delivers sequential read and write speeds of up to 1,100MB/s. It is available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, priced at $99.99, $159.99, and $324.99, respectively.
Corsair EX300U Specifications
The EX300U includes support for MagSafe-compatible magnetic rings, allowing it to attach securely to iPhones or any metal surface. Corsair targets mobile creators and professionals who need fast, reliable storage that stays attached during shoots, backups, or file transfers.
The SSD uses 3D NAND flash and is powered by a Phison PS2217-17 (U17) controller. Corsair has opted for a DRAM-less design and included features such as dynamic pSLC caching, TRIM, and garbage collection to maintain performance over time. The drive is compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, and Linux, requiring no additional drivers or software.
Corsair ships the drive with two USB-C to USB-C cables: a standard 30cm 10Gbps cable and a short 7cm 40Gbps cable with a 90-degree connector. These cables are intended to support both desktop and mobile use cases. The EX300U connects with a single port for power and data, enabling true plug-and-play operation.
The compact gunmetal body weighs 98 grams and is built to handle vibration and shock. It can operate in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 70°C and withstand storage temperatures down to -40°C. The rated endurance is 250TBW per terabyte, and the drive carries a three-year warranty.
Corsair has made the 1TB model available but marked it out of stock at launch. The 2TB and 4TB variants are available for order with expected delivery between October 10 and October 13.
