Portable SSD for fast external storage

The ADATA SC740-500G-CBU is a 500GB portable solid-state drive with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface delivering up to 1050 MB/s read speed. It targets users who need quick file transfers and extra capacity for laptops, desktops or compatible game consoles. The compact blue enclosure weighs 40g and includes a built-in USB-C cable for convenience.

Sustained transfer behaviour

Sequential read and write rates reach 1050 and 1000 MB/s respectively when connected to a 10Gbps USB port. Performance will scale down on slower USB 2.0 ports due to the interface bottleneck. The drive has no active cooling so prolonged heavy workloads may trigger thermal throttling depending on ambient temperature and workload intensity.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your host device provides a USB-C or USB-A port with at least USB 3.2 Gen 1 support to benefit from the rated speeds. Confirm the operating system supports exFAT or your preferred file system for the 500GB capacity. The 1.22m drop rating covers accidental shocks but does not replace careful handling.

Questions about this item

Does the ADATA SC740-500G-CBU get hot or noisy during all-day transfers?

The drive has no moving parts and no fan, so it runs silently; its metal casing helps dissipate heat during sustained USB 3.2 Gen 2 workloads.

What cable or port do I need on my laptop for this SSD to work?

A built-in USB-C cable is included; plug it into any USB-C or USB-A port (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 3.1, 3.0 or 2.0) and the drive is ready.

Will this 500 GB blue SC740 work with my older USB 2.0 laptop and PS4?

Yes — the drive is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and supports current game consoles, so it functions on both, limited to the host port’s speed.
