Japanese manufacturer Nextorage recently introduced its first lineup of portable SSDs: the NX-P2SE. Available in 1TB and 2TB capacities, these compact drives support USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity and have a maximum read speed of 1050MB/s and a maximum write speed of 1000MB/s. So let’s take a closer at these competitively priced drives!

Filmmakers and content creators mainly know Nextorage for its AtomX SSDmini drives for Atomos monitor recorders and their CFexpress Type B/SDXC memory cards. However, the Japanese company also makes blazing-fast internal PCIe NVMe SSDs.

This time, they are back with palm-sized external SSD drives: the Nextorage NX-P2SE.

Nextorage NX-P2SE features

The Nextorage NX-P2SE is a compact external SSD mainly made out of plastic that measures 66 x 9 x 40mm/ 2.5in x 0.35 x 1.57in for a weight of only 19g/0.67oz. According to Nextorage, the drives can resist a 1.5m/4.9ft drop and a bending up to 50 N.

At launch, the drives are available in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities.

The NX-P2SE has one USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 connector. Nextorage mentions that the USB-C connector has been tested to resist 10,000+ plugging/unplugging.

The built-in 3D TLC NAND flash memory inside the drive can reach speeds up to 1050MB/s in reading and 1000MB/s in writing. These speeds are similar to other popular drives, such as the Samsung T7, for example.

The Nextorage NX-P2SE comes in the box with a tailor-made leather pouch, and two 30cm/11in USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables.

Pricing and availability

The Nextorage NX-P2SE is available now for $75 for the 1TB version and $140 for the 2TB version. The drives come with a 3-year limited warranty and free data recovery software in case something terrible happens. As a direct comparison, the Samsung T7 retails for $89.99 for 1TB and $159.99 for 2TB.
