Most portable SSDs look like grey metal bricks. The MOVESPEED GD10 is a complete curveball. It’s a 1TB external SSD with a 1.8-inch touchscreen, full metal body, and the weirdest part is that it has got two fidget buttons built right into the case.
These aren’t for controlling storage functions; they’re just there because the designers thought, “why not?” The GD10 wants to make storage fun again. The touchscreen isn’t a gimmick either. It lets you check storage space, rename folders, and toggle encryption settings.
It’s small enough to fit into your pocket but techy enough to look like a mini smartphone. MOVESPEED calls it the “most interactive SSD ever,” and honestly, that might be fair. It’s practical and a little unnecessary at the same time, and frankly, this is what makes this product stand out.

Touchscreen controls and encrypted storage
The 1.8-inch color touchscreen is the main attraction here. Instead of plugging the drive in to check its status, you can swipe through menus and see how much space is left.
There’s built-in AES 256-bit encryption to protect your data, which can be activated directly from the touchscreen. You can even set a password that locks the SSD from being accessed on unverified devices.
MOVESPEED seems to know its target users, and these are people who like storing everything on-the-go and don’t trust cloud storage. The screen is bright, responsive, and surprisingly useful if you move files between different systems.
It’s one of those features that sounds overkill until you actually use it, and then you start wondering why every external drive doesn’t have one.
Find My integration and practical design
the GD10 has built-in support for Apple’s Find My network. So if you misplace it in your house or drop it somewhere, you can locate it through the Find My app.
That’s a rare feature for an SSD, and honestly, something Apple fans will love. The device has a small indicator light, a USB-C port, and a loop for a keychain or lanyard. It’s not waterproof, but it’s durable enough to survive accidental drops.
MOVESPEED claims it can handle up to 2-meter drops without data loss. The overall design looks clean but with small playful details.
Fast speeds, but not just about the numbers
Performance-wise, the MOVESPEED GD10 is no slouch. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, hitting up to 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write. BY my understanding, this is definitely fast enough for 4K video editing or moving huge project files.
You can have power and personality together. During early tests, users said the drive stayed cool during transfers, thanks to a well-designed heat sink under the aluminum shell. It’s compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and even iPadOS.
You plug it in, and it just works. No drivers, no nonsense. For creative users, this could be the fun gadget that sneaks its way into daily use without feeling like another boring tool.
All in all the GD10 stands out because it remembers that gadgets should be both useful and enjoyable. MOVESPEED might just start a small trend here. Who knows, maybe your next power bank will come with a stress toy built in.
