Colorful has released a new portable storage drive in China called the RP600X Pro. It comes with 512GB and 1TB storage options, with the 512GB variant priced at 899 yuan ($132). While it looks like a standard thumb drive, it functions as a portable SSD, offering read speeds of up to 1000MB/s.
Colorful RP600X Pro Specifications
The hardware is built around a dual-connector design. The drive includes both USB Type-C and USB Type-A plugs, which are accessed via a three-position slider on the casing. This setup allows you to switch between ports depending on the device you are using, removing the need to carry separate dongles or adapters. You can plug it directly into older desktop PCs, modern laptops, tablets, or smartphones.
To handle the heat that typically comes with fast data transfers, Colorful used a die-cast zinc alloy for the chassis. The metal body features integrated cooling grooves designed to improve airflow and dissipate heat when moving large files over extended periods. In terms of size, it measures 74 x 22 x 10.2mm and weighs about 50 grams, keeping it in line with standard portable flash storage.
Internally, the drive relies on a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface to reach its maximum transfer speeds. It also supports Apple ProRes direct recording, allowing compatible iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and newer Pro-series iPhones to record Apple Log and ProRes video directly onto the external drive. This expands available recording capacity for professional video capture without relying solely on the phone’s internal storage.
The RP600X Pro is compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and HarmonyOS. Colorful includes a three-year warranty with the device, positioning it as a straightforward option for routine backups, cross-device file transfers, and direct media recording.
In related news, Lexar has recently launched the D70E portable SSD with built-in USB-C and USB-A connectors, while SanDisk has introduced a new 1TB portable SSD offering read speeds of up to 600MB/s.
