The Glyph Atom EX40 is a high-performance portable SSD designed for creative professionals who need extreme speed, reliability, and portability. Built around next-generation USB4 NVMe technology, the Atom EX40 delivers sustained read and write speeds of up to 4000 MBs, making it ideal for intensive workflows such as 8K video editing, large media transfers, and high-resolution photo production. Its compact form factor allows it to integrate seamlessly into mobile and studio environments without slowing down demanding projects.
Engineered for real-world performance, the Atom EX40 focuses on sustained throughput rather than short burst speeds. This makes it especially well suited for editing directly from the drive, backing up large data sets, or transferring massive files without performance drops. The USB4 Type-C interface provides broad compatibility across modern systems while unlocking maximum performance on supported hardware.
Durability is a core part of the Atom EX40 design. The drive features a solid aluminum core combined with a composite outer shell that protects against shock, vibration, and everyday wear. This rugged construction also improves thermal efficiency, allowing heat to dissipate naturally without the need for a fan. As a result, the drive maintains consistent performance even during extended high-intensity sessions.
The Atom EX40 is bus powered for true portability and comes formatted for macOS, with easy reformatting available for Windows systems. Its backward compatibility with USB 3.1, USB 3.0, and Thunderbolt 3, 4, and 5 ensures it works across a wide range of devices without adapters. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for multi-system environments and collaborative workflows.
Backed by Glyphs comprehensive 3-2-1 warranty, the Atom EX40 delivers peace of mind alongside professional performance. With multiple capacity options up to 8 TB, it provides a powerful portable storage solution for filmmakers, photographers, audio professionals, and content creators who need dependable speed wherever their work takes them.
