The NX-PFS1PRO also supports wireless unlocking. Essentially, the SSD connects to your network, enabling access through password entry via a web browser, thus allowing operation from any device, ranging from a tablet to a smartphone. Furthermore, a more advanced method involves configuring a designated access point. For instance, you may specify a connection zone in your office, and once the drive enters it, it will automatically unlock.

The NX-PFS1PRO provides sequential read and write speeds of up to 2 GB/s. The device utilizes a USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 2 (20 Gbps) Type-C port for communication with the host device. This port supports PD pass-through charging up to 100W, facilitating data transfer and power delivery through a single port, which is particularly advantageous if the computer is equipped with only one USB Type-C port.

The NX-PFS1PRO measures 2.6 x 0.7 x 3.9 inches (65 x 17 x 99.5 mm) and weighs 0.3 pounds (120 g), rendering it highly portable due to its compact size and light weight. It is slightly larger than a credit card and comfortably fits within the palm of the hand. The device is rated IP54 for dust and water resistance. Additionally, it is capable of withstanding drops from heights of up to 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) and exhibits resistance to shocks and vibrations.

The NX-PFS1PRO arrives in four capacities: 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB. Nextorage markets these models at prices of $310, $387, $574, and $1,165, respectively, inclusive of taxes. The external SSD includes a 3-year limited warranty.
