High-intensity isn’t just a marketing term.
These drives are built for real production environments. Long takes, large files, continuous writes, and deadlines that don’t pause for thermal throttling. When you’re dumping cards on set, backing up a full day of footage, or working directly off an external drive, performance isn’t about a momentary burst. It’s about whether your SSD can maintain speed hour after hour, terabyte after terabyte. That’s what we mean by high-intensity SSDs: sustained performance under sustained pressure.

Most SSDs aren’t designed for this kind of work.. but their specs won't admit it.
Nearly every drive on the market is advertised using peak speeds measured in short, idealized bursts. In real workflows, those speeds collapse once caches fill and heat builds. The result: transfer times that stretch unpredictably and slowdowns you can feel in the middle of a job. We design our drives around sustained throughput, not headline numbers. The chart below illustrates what we're talking about.
