With the PXD series, Patriot Memory is placing at the users’ disposal a NVMe high-performance drive behind an USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) bridge in order to achieve read/write operations of near 1000MB/s. The drive also employs USB Type-C connection for futureproofing and looks like an oversized USB Flash Drive (without the metallic connector).

The PXD drive is shipped inside a medium-sized cardboard enclosure with a small window, so the customer will be able to look at the device without unsealing the packaging. Some of the main product highlights are also mentioned on the frontal area, together with the compatible platforms:
