Quick Answers

No. PurrfectBackup is a dedicated, standalone backup device. It copies files from your memory card to an external SSD or HDD, which you connect separately.

Yes. Connect a compatible card reader and your external SSD or HDD to PurrfectBackup using USB. No laptop, phone, app or internet connection is required to make a backup.

The Standard model does not include storage. The Pro model has an M.2 NVMe SSD slot, allowing you to install your own compatible NVMe SSD (128gb – 8TB). Storage drives are to be bought separately

PurrfectBackup is assembled in the USA and India, with software developed and maintained by teams in both countries. The board is manufactured in the UK and Japan, and the OLED display is sourced from a trusted global supplier.

Standard vs PRO

Both models back up the same cards, the same way, at the same 5Gbps port speed. PRO adds an empty internal NVMe slot so you can carry storage inside the device instead of tethering an external drive.

FAQ

How does PurrfectBackup work?

Power the device via USB-C, plug your card reader into one port and your SSD into the other. The OLED screen guides you through the one-button copy process – no laptop, no Wi-Fi, no apps needed.

How fast is the data transfer?

Each USB port supports up to 5Gbps (~500MB/s). Real-world sustained speeds typically run 100–200MB/s — for example, 100GB from a CFexpress card to NVMe SSD takes roughly 10 minutes.

Which memory cards and readers are compatible?

Any media cards such as SD, CF Express, Micro SD etc. via a compatible USB reader.

Does it ever delete or modify my original files?

No. PurrfectBackup only reads from your memory card — it never writes to or deletes anything on the source card.
