I-O Data Launches Floworks SSD Brand For Video Production
The first product under floworks pairs hardware AES256bit encryption and password locking with IP65 dust and water resistance and a drop test rating, a combination aimed at location shooting and delivery rather than the desk-bound storage that has dominated the category.

I-O Data Device has launched floworks, an SSD brand aimed at video production, broadcasting, and streaming work, and announced the portable encrypted SSD SSCA-SUW Series as its first product on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The drive offers USB 20Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen2x2) transfer, a 2,000MB/s maximum read speed, and a 1,800MB/s maximum write speed.
The SSCA-SUW Series addresses three points in a production chain rather than one. Its USB 20Gbps interface covers backup and editing transfers, including 4K and 8K material, and the company says write performance holds steady during long continuous writes. Security runs through AES256bit hardware encryption with password settings handled by the dedicated I-O Security Lock App for SSCA-SUW, and the password lock can be toggled on or off as a job requires.
