Have you ever felt the need for speed? Well, brace yourself because Terramaster is about to launch a game-changer in the world of high-speed SSD enclosures – the D1 SSD Plus. This portable powerhouse boasts unrivaled write speeds that will leave your jaw on the floor.
Let’s delve into what makes this external SSD a force to be reckoned with. Picture this: when paired with a Samsung 990 Pro 4TB and tested on an Apple M4 Pro Mac mini, the D1 achieved mind-blowing write speeds of 3,498MB/s and read speeds of 3,641MB/s. That’s like teleporting a 3GB file in just about a second! How’s that for cutting-edge technology?
“Transfer 3GB files in ~1 second,”
Indeed, the D1 SSD Plus is designed to be an absolute speed demon thanks to its USB4 interface which offers a whopping 40Gbps bandwidth. But hey, hold your horses there! While these numbers might sound too good to be true, real-world performance isn’t just about figures on paper.
Tech Radar Pro has scrutinized the device’s performance beyond benchmark tests and here’s what they found out – seamless compatibility across macOS and Windows systems. Sounds fantastic, right? But let me throw in a word of caution for our Windows users out there – make sure to double-check those ports before making your purchase. Some Thunderbolt 3 interfaces on Windows PCs may not fully support the USB4 protocol which could lead to some hiccups during detection.

Now let’s talk about heat management because we all know that with great power comes great…heat dissipation challenges! The D1 is no slouch in this department either. Sporting passive cooling through its fully enclosed aluminum alloy chassis, it promises silent and stable operation even under heavy workloads.
But here’s where things get interesting – without active cooling mechanisms onboard, thermal throttling might rear its head during extended usage sessions especially for peeps engaged in mobile editing tasks. So keep an eye on those temperatures!

Oh wait till you hear about compatibility options! The D1 supports Thunderbolt standards ranging from Thunderbolt 5/4/3 all the way down to USB standards like USB 4.0 and 3.0 – giving you flexibility galore while hooking up your devices.
And guess what? TerraMaster didn’t skimp on safety features either. This bad boy comes equipped with safeguards against voltage surges, electrostatic discharge, and short circuits – ensuring your precious data stays safe and sound.
In case you’re worried about backups (and who isn’t), TerraMaster has got you covered with their TDAS app for mobile backup along with TPC Backupper for Windows PCs offering incremental as well as differential backup options.
While tech enthusiasts are salivating at the raw power and utility offered by the D1 SSD Plus, it’s worth noting that this beast demands top-tier SSDs for optimal performance alongside compatibility with advanced protocols which might limit its appeal to certain user groups seeking more plug-and-play simplicity.
So buckle up folks because Terramaster’s D1 SSD Plus is not just another run-of-the-mill storage solution; it’s a high-octane blend of speed, innovation, and reliability set to revolutionize how we perceive external storage solutions!
