SKU CH-YCD8-QKYQE MPN MKNEXTCX1TB

Portable 1 TB solid-state drive with USB Type-C 3.1 Gen2 interface delivering up to 1000 MB/s sequential read speed

  • Up to 1000MB/s sequential read speeds
  • USB Type-C 3.1 Gen2 interface for fast transfers
  • 3D NAND memory components in a 1TB portable SSD
  • SMI2263 series SSD controller plus ASMedia ASM236X USB controller
  • Compact external solid state drive for consumer use

CarbonX 1 TB portable SSD

The Mushkin Enhanced CarbonX 1TB drive uses 3D NAND memory and a SMI2263 controller to deliver external solid-state storage for consumers. It connects through a USB Type-C 3.1 Gen2 interface and is built for portable workflows that need fast, compact capacity.

USB 3.1 Gen2 speed ceiling

The USB 3.1 Gen2 link sets a practical maximum sequential read of up to 1000MB/s, so sustained transfers cannot exceed that bandwidth. The ASMedia ASM236X USB controller manages the connection, meaning performance will scale down on older USB ports or cables that do not support the full Gen2 specification.

Compact enclosure with Type-C connector

The portable enclosure protects the drive while keeping the single USB Type-C port accessible for direct attachment to modern laptops and desktops. No separate power adapter is required, so the drive draws power from the host and stays ready for frequent connect and disconnect cycles.

Questions about this item

Is the 1 TB capacity the only option for the CarbonX portable SSD?

The CarbonX portable SSD is listed with a 1 TB capacity using 3D NAND memory components.

What does the 1000 MB/s sequential read figure mean for everyday file transfers?

The 1000 MB/s maximum sequential read speed allows large files to be read from the drive at up to that rate when connected over USB 3.1 Gen2.

How does the USB Type‑C 3.1 Gen2 interface limit real‑world performance?

The USB Type‑C 3.1 Gen2 connection caps the drive at its rated 1000 MB/s sequential read, so the SMI2263 and ASMedia ASM236X controllers cannot exceed that bandwidth.
