Storage is in big demand these days because we are producing more 4K videos, more hi-res photos, more complex graphics and playing more games than ever before. Flexible storage in the form of consumer SSD drives that can work across multiple
systems and devices is where the industry is heading.
Now Kingston Digital Europe, the flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology, has announced the launch of its first cable-free solid-state drive for consumers who need an affordable, reliable and portable storage solution for backing up all their data and transferring projects.
With the sleek look of a traditional flash drive, the Dual Portable SSD is housed in a compact and durable metal casing with connections for both USB Type-A and USB-C ports. This means the drive can be used with a wide range of devices, such as laptops, desktops, mobile devices and more.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Speeds
This new drive offers USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds with up to 1,050MB/s read speed and 950MB/s write speed. To improve productivity and enhance workflows, this all-in-one storage and transfer device is available in capacities up to 2TB, large enough to take the biggest files, high-res photos and 4K videos.
“More and more consumers are looking to take their data into their own hands,” says Liny Cheliyan, business manager of the prosumer flash and SSD at Kingston EMEA. “Now with the convenience of Kingston’s Dual Portable SSD, users can do just that and easily transfer, share or backup their important files across a variety of USB-A and USB-C devices.”
