Goodbye slow, welcome fast
Times are changing and now external durable storage is moving to SSD. Say hello to USB 3.2 Gen 1 and high-grade 3D TLC NAND Flash with speed-enhancing algorithms and a DRAM cache, delivering performance multiple times higher than mechanical hard drives. The SD700 reaches 440MB/s read and write, compared to max 100MB/s on an HDD. That means even the biggest files, like 4K movies, transfer much faster. Even better, the SD700 is wrapped in a protective shell that enables it to go with you everywhere, long term.

Quality 3D NAND Flash
The SD700 uses new 3D NAND, or stacked TLC Flash. The technology offers higher density, increased reliability, and better power efficiency compared to previous 2D NAND SSDs. You get a better product at a better value.

IP68 dust/water proof plus military-grade shockproof
It’s time for SSDs to go fully durable. The SD700 passes IEC IP68 specs, ensuring complete dust-tight protection and survivability in up to 1.5m of water for 60 minutes. We also tested it to military-grade MIL-STD-810G 516.6 shockproof requirements. This is portable data peace of mind. Falls, drops, dips in water, dusty environments, and deserts: the SD700 takes it all and keeps going.

* Dust and water proof capabilities apply when USB port cover is firmly closed and secured in place.

Light and easy to carry
At just 75g, the SD700 differs greatly from the external durable storage you may be used to. This one slips comfortably into a jacket pocket, and definitely goes well with a bag without adding to your burdens. Always with you and ready for work, the SD700 delivers portable strength.

Cross-platform compatibility and sharing
The SD700 works with Windows, Mac OS, and Android so you can effortlessly share documents, photos, videos, and presentations. In addition to being fast and strong, the SD700 overcomes digital barriers as multi-platform storage for more of your devices – desktop to smartphone.

Many advantages combined
Unlike mechanical drives, solid state drives have no moving parts. They’re completely silent, much more durable, don’t build up heat, and of course consume far less power. The SD700 embodies all this with advanced 3D NAND SSD technology, and maintains all of these advantages as an external drive thanks to a custom durable enclosure.
External SSD FAQ

Q1: ?PC?How to remove the exSSD safely from PCs?
A: While most USB devices such as external hard drives, external SSDs, and Flash drives can be plugged and unplugged at will, do avoid doing so when they are active. If you unplug a storage device or a removable drive from your computer while it’s transferring or saving information, you risk data loss or corruption. If in doubt, use the Windows “Safely Remove Hardware” feature, which stops drive operations and then ends the connection between it and the host computer safely.
Q2: ?MOBILE DEVICES?Which devices ADATA exSSD can be compatible with?
A: http://www.adata.com/upload/faq/External_SSD-Compatibility_List.pdf
Q3: ?OTHER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS?Why is my device reporting the external SSD has less capacity than advertised?
A: The actual drive capacity displayed on your device will vary from external SSD physical capacity due to mandatory operating system formatting and partitioning. Typically, operating systems remove 10-20% of drive physical capacity. This means a 250GB external SSD will have around 232GB free once it is fully formatted and detected by a supported operating system
Q4: ?OTHER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS?I think my external SSD has low transfer speeds
A: Actual speeds may vary depending on your specific device configuration and the type of data being transferred. In addition, it may vary from cables and adapter types. For example, the SE730 supports maximum data speeds of 500 MB/s in a Windows PC environment with USB 3.2 Gen 2 and UASP Mode support. If you use a USB Type-C to USB 3.2 or USB 2.0 adapter, speeds will be lower. If UASP mode isn’t supported on the host device, the SE730 may also operate at lower speeds
Q5: ?OTHER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS?How to format external drives in Mac OS?
A: 1. Connect the drive to your Mac 2. Open Disk Utility. The easiest way to do that is pressing CMD and the spacebar at the same time and typing Disk Utility to find the program 3. Select the drive you want to format 4. Click Erase If you don’t plan on using the drive for Time Machine, skip steps 5 to 11 below and continue with step 12 5. Give the drive an easy to remember name and leave default settings unchanged: OS X Extended format and GUID partition map. These will format the drive in the OS X HFS+ file type for Time Machine compatibility 6. Click Erase and OS X will format the drive 7. With the drive selected in Disk Utility, click Partition 8. Enter the space you want to set aside for Time Machine. In our example, we’re using 128GB rather than the whole drive 9. Click Apply 10. Select the new untitled partition to format it as exFAT for use with both Mac OS and Windows 11. Click Erase 12. Give the partition a name and select exFAT 13. Click Erase to finish the process 14. Formatting complete Your exFAT-formatted drive or partition can be used with Windows and Mac OS. Note that moving it frequently between Windows and Mac OS may increase the risk of file corruption, so make sure you have backups of the files on drives you share between the two operating systems. Additionally, follow safe drive connect/disconnect procedures at all times
Q6: ?OTHER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS?How to format external drives in Windows?
A: 1. Connect the drive to your Windows PC 2. Open the Disk Management tool. You can do that by typing “disk format” or “disk management” in Windows search or going to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Create and format hard disk partitions 3. Right-click on the external drive partition or the unallocated space you want to format and choose New Simple Volume 4. Follow instructions to choose a volume size 5. Assign a drive letter 6. Choose the file system in the Format Partition screen 7. Give the volume a new name 8. Click Next 9. Click Finish 10. Formatting complete
Q7: ?OTHER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS?Why is the external SSD set to NTFS by default?
A: The external SSD is factory-formatted to NTFS in order to work out of the box with most PCs. This allows the drive to be instantly operable by most users. However, the external SSD is not hard-locked to any file system. If you want to use other file systems, such as Mac OS, simply re-format the external SSD.
Q8: ?OTHER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS?What’s UASP?
A: UASP stands for USB Attached SCSI Protocol. It combines SCSI commands and USB standards to accelerate data movement and make file transfers more efficient. If your device does not support UASP, you may update it from the device manufacturer website, as UASP functionality can be added via firmware or operating system update.
Q9: ?OTHER DEVICES?Can I use the external SSD with operating systems other than Windows, Mac OS, and Android?
A: You can only use the external SSD on devices running Windows 7 or later, Mac OS X 10.7 or later, and Android 5.0 or later. You may still physically use the external SSD on other operating systems and devices, but performance and functionality will be compromised. We do not recommend using the external SSD with non-supported operating systems
Q10: ?OTHER DEVICES?How to connect the external SSD to a smart TV?
A: Most new TVs support photo, music, and video playback from external storage via USB. However, not all TVs support this function and file system compatibility may vary. When connecting the external SSD to a TV, please check the following: – After connecting the external SSD to the TV USB port, check if the external SSD is recognized in the TV menu – If it isn’t recognized, please refer to the TV user manual or contact the manufacturer to check for USB support – If it is recognized, check that you can play videos and music and view photos stored on the external SSD without any issues – In case content can’t be accessed, verify which file systems are supported by your TV for external storage. The external SSD is formatted using the NTFS file system by default – Follow any prompts from your TV operating system relating to the external SSD formatting. Modern TVs will auto-format external storage to a supported file system ?Important: formatting will delete all data. Please backup your data before proceeding If the file system is supported but you still can’t access content, verify the file types and extensions supported by the TV. Some file types may not be supported, preventing video and audio playback and photo display. For additional details about your device, please refer to its user manual or contact the manufacturer
Q11: ?OTHER DEVICES?Why isn’t the external SSD recognized by non-PC devices?
A: The external SSD was developed for Windows, Mac OS, and Android. When connected to devices running any other operating system (such as Linux or Windows Phone), the external SSD may not be recognized or its functions may be restricted depending on the device.
Q12: ?ANDROID MOBILE DEVICE?Why does my mobile device OS freeze when I connect it to the external SSD while using certain security apps, such as anti-virus programs or device cleaners?
A: There may be compatibility issues with certain security programs for mobile devices that are completely unrelated to the external SSD. Most Android device manufacturers themselves do not guarantee compatibility with such apps. If the OS of your mobile device freezes, reboot the mobile device. If this fails, please contact the device manufacturer.
Q13: ?ANDROID MOBILE DEVICE?I disconnected the USB Type-C (OTG) cable after checking that file copying is complete in the status bar of the mobile device, and now I can’t open the files I just copied
A: We recommend that you use the Safely Remove Device function before disconnecting the cable between the external SSD and your Android device. Failing to do this may cause copied files to become corrupted and unreadable.
Q14: ?ANDROID MOBILE DEVICE?Why do audio files stop playing when I connect the external SSD to my Android mobile device?
A: Music may stop playing because your device mobile file manager prioritizes external SSD operation with regards to system resources. Audio playback will resume when external SSD read, write, or other operations are complete.
Q15: ?PC?The external SSD isn’t recognized by my PC
A: Make sure the external SSD is securely connected to a USB port. Detection failure may be related to a faulty USB port. If possible, try connecting the external SSD to another USB port. If detection issues persist, please contact ADATA customer service
Q16: ?PC?I can’t copy files to the external SSD from my Windows PC
A: If the external SSD loses power or is unplugged in an unsecure manner, Windows may prevent files from being copied to it. This is a Windows protective measure associated with the file system and does not mean the external SSD has a technical issue. You can try resolving this using the following steps: – Click the “Scan and Fix” notification that appears when you connect the external SSD to your PC – If you closed the notification, right-click on the external SSD icon in the system tray (notification area) and use the “Run CHKDSK” command – If the external SSD icon isn’t displayed in the system tray, open Explorer and select the external SSD, then right-click, Properties, Tools, Check
