What form factor is the drive inside? Is it accesible in order to upgrade it to a larger capacity SSD 2,5mm, like the older RUGGED versions?. Thanks!
Asked by: Marcelo
The previous answer is incorrect. I was able to remove the orange rubber material and also remove the external cover abs successfully replace the 2TB NVme with a “Sabrent Rocket Q 8TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3300/2900MB/s (SB-RKTQ-8TB)”. Sadly it cost $1,399.99 but it works. I now used the extra 2TB NVme on my PS5.

My gamer pc has USB 3.2 Gen 1 type A ports! Can an ssd external drive w/ 3.2 Gen 2x2, USB-C or USB 3.2 Gen 2 be compatible with my pc?
Asked by: Jorge
Yes, you can use a drive like the LaCie 1TB Rugged USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD BH #LASTHR100080 using an adapter but the speeds will only go up to Gen 1 speeds (5Gbps) so you will lose performance. If you have a desktop PC and an open PCie slot, you can install a PCie card with Gen 2 USB C and then be able to use the drive to it's full potential. This is a good option for the PCIe card if you are interested in exploring that option and have an available PCie slot on your Computer.
