Kingston Technology, a well-known company that makes memory storage devices and tech solutions worldwide, has just released something exciting – their very first portable solid-state drive (SSD) that doesn’t need any cables. This new device is designed to be affordable, dependable, and super easy to carry around for backing up your data and moving files between devices.
The new product is called the Dual Portable SSD, and it looks just like those USB flash drives you’re probably familiar with. What makes it special is that it has a small, tough metal body and can work with both USB Type-A ports (the regular rectangular ones) and USB-C ports (the newer oval-shaped ones). This means you can use it with laptops, desktop computers, and even mobile devices without worrying about which type of port they have.
Thanks to USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology, this little drive is really fast. It can read data at speeds up to 1,050 MB per second and write data at speeds up to 950 MB per second. You can get it with different storage amounts – 512GB, 1TB, or even 2TB. This makes it perfect for storing big files, high-quality photos, and 4K videos, so you can keep working no matter where you are.
Kingston explained that they created this drive because more people want to have better control over their personal data. The Dual Portable SSD makes it simple to move files around, share them with others, and create backups of important information across different devices that use either USB-A or USB-C connections.
