Twopan has launched a tiny Nano SSD with a USB Type-C  With the continued success of the USB interface, there exists a need to adapt USB technology to serve newer computing platforms and devices as they trend toward smaller, thinner and lighter form-factors. Many of these newer platforms and devices are reaching a point where existing USB receptacles and plugs are inhibiting innovation, especially given the relatively large size and internal volume constraints of the Standard-A and Standard-B versions of USB connectors. connector and a built-in fingerprint scanner. The new product is compatible with iOS and Android smartphones as well as PCs running various operating systems.Nano SSD is encased in aluminum and impact-resistant plastic with IP65 water and dust resistance. Measuring 20 x 13 x 5 mm and weighing only 5 grams, it has a capacity of 512 GB and provides read and write speeds of up to 450 MB/s. The main feature of the device is the fingerprint scanner, which supports recognition of up to 20 fingerprints and works without special software. The scanner is activated, according to the company, when the drive is connected to the device.

Separately mentioned is the ability to record directly in 4K and HD (60fps) on the latest iPhone Pro models using the HEVCHigh Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC, or H.265) is the latest video compression standard developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG), finalized in 2013. HEVC is able to compress video up to twice as efficiently as AVC, letting you encode a video in a file that is about half the size of AVC at the same quality level. The higher compression efficiency also means that for a given bit rate or file size, HEVC encodes video with significantly higher quality than AVC..(H.265) codec.The drive is priced at $99 on Kickstarter, with first shipments expected in August 2025. |
