This 512 GB AOHi Flash Drive Also Charges Your Device

A new Kickstarter by AOHi just launched, and it might just be the coolest flash drive we’ve ever seen. The AOHi Magflash is the electronic brand’s newest project, and it’s a 2-in-1 flash drive that can both charge your device and move your files at insanely high speeds.

AOHi Magflash 2-in-1 Charging and Data Storage Features

First off, the AOHi Magflash is a flash drive with 512 GB of storage. By all means not the biggest capacity there is in the market, but it’s all of the added fluff that makes this flash drive exciting. While it doesn’t pack 1 TB of storage, it does feature a Sequential Read/Write speed of 1000 MB/s. Hook it up with its spliceable cable and you can also use it to fast charge your device at 240 W 5 A.

But above all, what I personally think is the best feature of this flash drive is its build. The flash drive is small and lightweight at just 0.74 oz and can be easily dangled around your bag or carried in your pocket, no problem.

With a high-quality aluminum alloy frame, the flash drive is resistant to drops and bumps, so feel free to take it outdoors. Its cable also has a liquid silicone outer cover for a soft cable that is tangle-free and easy to find in a pile of cables.

Its wide range of compatibility makes it usable for all of your devices, either as a storage for your smartphone while vlogging, or as your additional hard drive for your Steam Deck. That’s right, you can expand your Steam Deck’s capacity by 512 GB with this small piece of technology and worry not about throttling or read/write speeds.

Compatibility with earlier AOHi projects

The AOHi Magflash device is compatible with AOHi’s previous projects and devices. If you want to pair up a powerbank with it for its fast charging capabilities, look no further than the Starship 2-in-1 Portable Powerbank. Furthermore, it’s compatible with the AOHi spliceable USB 4 and PD 3.1 power cable, and custom length USB cable set. If you’re a repeat customer, that’s good news.

What’s in the box

So, what do you get if you support this Kickstarter project? You get the aforementioned flash drive along with accessories to make the best use of it. The package, which ships globally, includes:

• USB-C to USB-C short cable (17 cm / 0.6 ft)
• Extension cable (128 cm / 4.2 ft)
• Spring cable (188 cm / 6.2 ft)
• Portable storage bag (looks more like a pouch, to be honest)
• Warranty card
• A nice gift box packaging to keep all of your cables in

Backing starts at $119 and is estimated to arrive by July 2024, as production starts in June following a quick reliability test phase this May.
