Portable 1 TB USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 SSD

The DATO ARES Torch is a pocket-sized external solid-state drive with a 1 TB capacity. It connects through a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C interface and weighs 25 grams. The drive suits professionals and creatives who need fast, lightweight storage for large media files on the move.

Bundled USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C to Type-A cable

A 10 Gb/s Type-C to Type-A cable is included so the drive works immediately with both modern Type-C ports and legacy Type-A ports. OTG support allows direct file transfer from compatible Type-C devices such as iPad, iPhone 15 and Android smartphones without a computer.

Up to 1050 MB/s read and 1000 MB/s write

Sequential speeds of up to 1050 MB/s read and 1000 MB/s write determine whether the drive matches a workflow that moves multi-gigabyte projects quickly. Built-in thermal throttling protection maintains consistent performance during sustained transfers. Buyers who need higher throughput for intensive video editing should consider faster interfaces.

Questions about this item

Will the thermal throttling protection wear out and need replacement?

The built-in thermal sensing and throttling technology is a solid-state feature with no moving parts, so it does not wear out or require replacement during the drive's lifespan.

Does the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface hit a bandwidth ceiling before the 1050 MB/s read speed under sustained transfers?

The USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface provides up to 20 Gbps bandwidth, which exceeds the 1050 MB/s maximum sequential read speed, so the drive's controller is the limiting factor.

How hot does the 25 g white enclosure get and does the fan noise increase during all-day use?

There is no fan; the drive relies on thermal throttling protection to manage heat silently, and the lightweight aluminium body dissipates warmth without audible noise.
