Twopan has announced the Nano SSD, a tiny 512GB USB-C flash drive with a fingerprint scanner. The new product supports up to 20 users and works without third-party software: just plug it into your device.
The Nano SSD weighs 5g, measures 20x13x5mm and connects via USB-C 3.1 Gen 1. The flash drive is compatible with iPhone 15/16, MacBook, iPad, Android devices, PS5, Steam Deck and Canon and Sony cameras. On the iPhone Pro, direct recording of 4K video at 60 frames per second in HEVC format is possible.
The drive's body is made of aluminum and impact-resistant plastic. It can withstand drops from heights of up to 10 meters and is protected from water and dust (IP65). The maximum read and write speed is up to 450 MB/s.
The Twopan Nano is currently available on Kickstarter for a retail price of around $99. Shipping is expected in August 2025.
Recall that recently, Japanese manufacturer Suneast released a similar drive with USB-C. It barely protrudes from the port and is designed for constant use with smartphones and laptops.
