## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this ssd come with a usb cable?**
A: The SSD comes with a 1ft/ 30cm Type-C to Type-C cable with an included Type-A adapter. However, the quality control on said cables are not as great as the drives themselves. If you wish to get a better quality Type-C to Type-C cable or a Type-C to Type-A cable, be sure it is no longer than 3 feet/ 1 meter for best performance.

**Q: Why is this better than an enclosure and a ssd inside? the software?**
A: The encryption/password protection firmware is built-in. This drive gets hot (I've seen 65c during sustained activity).  If your enclosure has cooling vents or fan that should be a consideration.

**Q: How much does it weigh?**
A: 1.40 oz (40 g) plus cable

**Q: Love the device.  however, i lost the cable that came with it.  anyone know of a short type c to type a cable they can recommend for this thing?**
A: look for any cable that supports 10gbps (you can type that in the search).

that's how I find my usb-c 3.1 gen 2 cables :)
