Plugable Launches 512GB Thunderbolt 3 NVMe Drive
Plugable released a really fast portable drive a bit back in the Thunderbolt 3 NVMe Drive. We reviewed the drive here and found it to be a great portable drive for those that need a lot of speed for a good price. The issues to be aware of is that the cable is integrated and would render the device useless if damaged, and its lack of support for USB-C without Thunderbolt. The company has now released the same drive in a smaller capacity, 512GB, and $100 less.

Integrating with cloud-based storage provides organizations with a new level of agility and time saved on data protection.
- Hive Sense – Business Insight: Through increased visibility into the customer’s IT infrastructure, administrators can now analyze their application environment for license inefficiencies by monitoring how various applications are being used, without additional third-party products. For example, a customer can track how many licenses are actually being used for a specific application, leading to potential savings in overall licensing costs.
- User Interface: HiveIO analyzed how current users operated their Hive Fabric user interface (UI) to launch an updated version in 8.0. To further improve the end-user admin experience, operations have been increasingly simplified and real-time information and virtual desktop insights are now shown through the administrator’s dashboard. This update in visibility allows customers to spend more time on the work that matters to them and their audiences, tending to patients, educating students, and developing new solutions for their business.
