Predator has announced the launch of its new GP30 portable solid-state drive, targeting users who need fast, high-capacity storage in a compact format. Built with a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 interface, the GP30 is capable of delivering sequential read and write speeds of up to 2000 MB/s, offering faster data transfer rates compared to conventional USB 3.0-based drives.
The GP30 Portable SSD comes in a lightweight and compact form factor, measuring 61.20 x 71.80 x 11.50 mm and weighing about 66.5 grams. Its design prioritizes portability without compromising performance, making it suitable for professionals and general users who require reliable mobile storage. The drive is available in four storage options: 1 TB, 2 TB, 4 TB, and 8 TB.
For connectivity, the GP30 uses a USB-C interface and includes support for both USB-A and USB-C connections through an included dual-head cable. This provides flexibility across a range of devices. The drive is compatible with multiple platforms including Windows 10 and 11, macOS, iOS, Android, HarmonyOS, and PlayStation systems. This wide compatibility allows it to function across desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and gaming consoles.
Aesthetically, the GP30 features integrated RGB lighting. In standby mode, the device glows purple, while during data transfers, it cycles through seven different colors. Though primarily a functional device, this lighting adds a visual element that may appeal to users who appreciate styled hardware.
Included in the package is a protective storage pouch along with a USB-C to USB-C cable that also supports USB-A devices, enhancing its out-of-the-box utility. Predator also bundles Acronis True Image software, which enables users to perform data backups and recover lost files. This adds a software layer to its hardware offering, especially useful for users dealing with critical data.
The GP30 is backed by a 5-year limited warranty, though official pricing across its storage variants has not yet been disclosed. Given its speed capabilities and high storage ceiling, the GP30 is positioned to support intensive workloads such as high-resolution video editing, large media file handling, and game storage across different systems.
With its focus on speed, versatility, and cross-platform functionality, the Predator GP30 aims to serve both professionals and general consumers needing a portable and efficient data storage solution.
