Not An Ordinary Thumb Drive While the VisionTek USB Pocket SSD looks like any other high-capacity flash drive with a USB 3.0 connector, that’s where all similarities end. More than pure storage, it’s a full-blown Solid State Drive featuring a high-performance SandForce® controller. That means you’ll experience up to 455MB/s Reads and up to 440MB/s Writes…as quick as the fastest internal SSDs1, yet with the proper set-up, you can run a variety of operating systems with full capabilities.
Uses The Common USB Port Millions of computers have been put into use since the USB 3.0 interface was introduced in 2008. That means no matter where you are, you’ll be able to access a PC or Mac to utilize the VisionTek USB Pocket SSD. Just plug the drive into a computer and you can start working at supercharged speeds!2
Faster For Real-World Uses While scoring high on synthetic benchmark tests gets all the glory, the real focus should be on how an upgrade performs under real-world use scenarios. Any kind of travel demands entertainment, so you’ll want to carry some HD movies with you. Compared to traditional external storage, you can transfer 35GB of movie files to the VisionTek USB Pocket SSD 26% faster.
Tougher & Faster Than Other Pocket SSDs While other portable pocket SSD options exist, they’re no match for the VisionTek USB Pocket SSD. No pathetically weak plastic case here…being able to handle the rigors of portable use demands a tough aircraft-grade aluminum housing. And while the best competitors can only muster up 250MB/s write speeds, the VisionTek USB Pocket SSD offers up to double that speed.
Nearly 4x More Storage Capacity For Tablets With today’s most popular tablet computers offering a maximum of 64GB of internal storage, you can use the VisionTek USB Pocket SSD as a high-capacity external storage upgrade and increase your storage capabilities by up to nearly 4x more.
