iodyne Pro Mini is a portable, bus-powered SSD shown with Frore Systems AirJet cooling, aimed at keeping transfer speed steady instead of spiking and then throttling. In the demo, dual AirJet modules are credited with sustaining about 3 GB/s during long writes and reads, which is the real pain point when you’re moving multi-hundred-gigabyte camera originals and deliverables on tight deadlines. https://iodyne.com/promini/
What makes the design interesting is that the performance claim is tied to thermal behavior, not peak burst numbers: USB4/Thunderbolt class bandwidth can be available, but typical compact NVMe enclosures often hit a heat ceiling and drop throughput hard. AirJet is a solid-state active cooling approach (no fan blades), built to push airflow through a thin chassis so the SSD can hold its steady-state transfer rate under sustained load and heat.
Beyond throughput, the product pitch leans into security and operations features that usually live in IT gear rather than pocket storage: XTS-AES-256 encryption, hardware-backed access using device passkeys, and workflow-oriented touches like a customizable digital label and “containers” for separating data. It also adds Find My-style tracking plus fleet management so teams can locate drives and remotely lock or disable them, as shown here at CES Las Vegas 2026 today.
In practice, this targets production and post workflows where the cost isn’t just time, but people waiting around while media offloads finish: copying, verifying, and making multiple backups at wrap is routine, and anything that avoids thermal throttling can compress that window. The takeaway from the booth walkthrough is straightforward: sustained bandwidth, always-on protection, and remote manageability are being packaged into a small USB4/Thunderbolt SSD meant for on-set and field use where minutes have real value.
