Lenovo has introduced a new external SSD that is shaped like a hand grenade. This unique design is a nod to the recent Chinese military film, Operation Dragon, which is also known as Operation Leviathan or Operation Hadal. Although the SSD has a distinctive appearance, it may not be ideal for those who travel often, as it could attract unwanted attention during airport security screenings.
Product Features
The caption from the image below translates to: “Lenovo Crowdfunding — Lifesaver Tactical Mobile Solid State Drive. Official hardcore aluminum alloy grenade shape. USB 3.2 high-speed protocol. Works with many SSD specifications.” The logos of Lenovo Legion and Operation Hadal can also be seen in the design.
According to Lenovo’s official crowdfunding page, this grenade-shaped SSD has the potential to be a successful project. Currently, the campaign is 69% funded with over three weeks left, and there is much buzz in Chinese tech media about this eye-catching product.
Pricing and Expectations
While complete specifications for the crowdfunding product priced at 599 yuan (about $82) are not yet published, it is believed that the grenade-shaped SSD will have a 1TB capacity and data transfer speeds reaching up to 1,050 MB/s, along with a USB Type-C interface. These expectations are based on the specifications of Lenovo’s current Legion portable SSD lineup.
Lenovo has not provided any information about when the product will be available globally. If you’re seeking a product that’s already on the market, the Samsung T9 is a solid option (2TB currently priced at $169.99 on Amazon).
