About this product
The DATO 1TB ARES Amber Shield Portable SSD offers a substantial 1TB of digital storage capacity, leveraging NAND Flash material for solid state performance. It boasts impressive read speeds of up to 1600 MB/s and write speeds of 1500 MB/s, connecting via USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.

Our take
This DATO ARES Amber Shield SSD is a serious performer for its size. The 1TB capacity is great for daily backups or expanding device storage, and the promised 1600 MB/s read and 1500 MB/s write speeds over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 are really compelling for large file transfers. I appreciate its broad compatibility with everything from gaming consoles to smartphones, making it genuinely versatile. The integrated LED indicator is a nice touch for at-a-glance status. While it’s quite speedy, remember you'll need a compatible USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port to fully utilize those top transfer rates.
