A 4TB Thunderbolt 3 portable SSD is genuinely rare — most vendors cap at 2TB. The 4TB XTRM-Q is the enthusiast-choice for working 8K RED RAW footage in the field. Price is high but for revenue-grade video work that needs the speed, nothing else at this capacity competes.

The 4TB Rocket Nano V2 is unusually capacious for a Gen 2x2 portable — most 4TB portable SSDs ship at Gen 2 speeds. The trade-off is price, which is currently well above T7 4TB. Buy when you specifically need the Gen 2x2 link for fast offloads.

The 2TB XTRM-Q is the model that put Sabrent's portable Thunderbolt line on the map for Mac users who needed internal-class speeds in an external chassis. Like the 1TB, it dedicated to Thunderbolt 3/4 hosts — on USB only you'll see Gen 2 speed (~1050 MB/s), not the headline 2700 MB/s.

2TB of Gen 2x2 storage in a pocketable aluminum unibody. Same form factor as the 1TB but with double the SLC cache budget, pushing sustained writes well past 300GB.

A 2000 MB/s Gen 2x2 pocket drive with an aluminum unibody acting as a heatsink. The Nano V2 is one of the most compact Gen 2x2 drives available — fitting speed-and-thermal capacity that other vendors need bigger bodies to deliver.
