ASUS launched the TUF Gaming A2 SSD enclosure today for gamers seeking reliable and speedy storage. The enclosure transfers data at 20 Gbps over USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2, twice as fast as the TUF Gaming A1. The TUF Gaming A2‘s IP68 water and dust protection and US MIL-STD-810H durability protect the SSD in most environments.

The silicone-rubber shell protects the SSD while traveling. An effective thermal management system guarantees exceptional cooling to guarantee consistent performance, and the Q-Latch mechanism makes it simple and tool-free to install SSDs. TUF Gaming A2 is ideal for anyone wishing to keep a large collection of games because it works well with PCs, Macs, mobile devices, and the newest gaming consoles.

Exceptional SSD performance  

With USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 connectivity that can supply up to 20Gbps of bandwidth, the TUF Gaming A2 triple the data transfer capabilities of its predecessor, the TUF Gaming A1. Even though the newest AAA games frequently weigh more than 100GB, it only takes 90 seconds1 to move a whole game from the SSD to a popular gaming platform like ROG Ally or a console.

The cutting-edge Q-Latch makes it simple to install or remove the NVMe M.2 SSD without the need for specialized tools. Screws are not required because the latch design uses a straightforward locking mechanism to secure the drive. The TUF Gaming A2 also has SATA and PCIe NVMe connectors, supports a variety of 2242/2260/2280 SSD form factors, and has a 4TB storage capacity.

Rugged and ready for anything 

A series of tests, including drops from a height of 1.22 meters, are performed on the TUF Gaming A2. It boasts IP68 water and dust protection and complies with the strict U.S. MIL-STD-810H specifications. The TUF Gaming A2’s premium silicone-rubber shell helps to guarantee steady performance in any condition by absorbing shocks and withstanding high temperatures.

In addition to protecting against dust, rain, and UV rays, it also shields data from electrical disruptions and static. Additionally, the ribbed pattern facilitates easy gripping while moving. Finally, with a K-value of 3, the highly conductive interior thermal pad can efficiently disperse the heat produced by the SSD to avoid overheating and guarantee stability over the long run.

Play and create across multiple platforms 

TUF Gaming A2 is compatible with the newest game consoles, including the Xbox, PlayStation 5, and ROG Ally, as well as Windows 11, macOS, and mobile devices.
