Colorful has unveiled the RP600X Pro, a pocket-sized portable SSD that pairs built-in USB-C and USB-A connectors with sequential read speeds of up to 1000 MB/s. It starts at 899 yuan for the 512 GB model, with a 1 TB version also available, and it supports direct Apple ProRes recording on compatible iPhones.
Two connectors, one slider
The RP600X Pro’s most obvious trick is the twin-connector design. Instead of shipping with a cable or forcing users to rummage through a drawer of adapters, Colorful built USB-C and USB-A into the body and lets you switch between them with a three-position slider. That means one drive can work with newer laptops, phones, and tablets, while still plugging straight into older PCs.
That convenience is not exactly revolutionary, but it is the kind of feature people appreciate after the first time they forget an adapter. The catch is that the drive still sits in the same category as a growing number of compact SSDs that now have to justify themselves with convenience, not just raw speed.
Colorful RP600X Pro specs and price
The drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface and a zinc-alloy body with cooling fins. Colorful says the enclosure measures 74 x 22 x 10.2 mm and weighs about 50 g, which keeps it firmly in ”stick it in a pocket and forget about it” territory.

Apple ProRes recording support
The more interesting pitch is video. The RP600X Pro supports direct recording of Apple ProRes on compatible Apple phones, including iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and newer Pro models. That matters because ProRes and Apple Log files can chew through internal storage at a ridiculous pace, so external recording is the difference between shooting comfortably and watching a storage warning pop up mid-session.
Colorful says the SSD works with Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and HarmonyOS, and backs it with a 3-year warranty. The broader trend here is obvious: portable SSDs are drifting from ”nice accessory” to ”default tool” for mobile creators, and the companies that win will be the ones that make connectivity as painless as possible. The RP600X Pro at least understands the assignment.
