Built for cross device workflows, the SSD addresses portability, compatibility, and speed challenges faced by users handling large files daily.
As content creation increasingly moves across laptops and smartphones, users are looking for simple and reliable ways to move and back up data without relying on cables, adapters or cloud connectivity. Traditional external drives often add friction through extra accessories, limited compatibility or slow transfer speeds. This has created demand for compact storage solutions that work seamlessly across both USB Type A and USB Type C devices.
Addressing this need, Kingston Technology has introduced its Dual Portable SSD, a compact, cable free solid state storage solution designed for everyday data backup and file transfers. The drive combines the familiar form factor of a flash drive with the performance of an SSD, allowing direct connection to a wide range of devices including laptops, desktops and mobile platforms.
The device supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance, delivering read speeds of up to 1,050 MB per second and write speeds of up to 950 MB per second. This enables faster transfers of large files such as high resolution photos, videos and project data. The drive is housed in a durable metal casing and is designed for portable use without additional cables or power requirements.
With capacities available up to 2 TB, the device is positioned for users managing growing volumes of data across work and personal devices. Its dual connector design allows direct switching between USB Type A and USB Type C interfaces, reducing the need for dongles or converters and simplifying cross device workflows.
Key features include :
- Cable free solid state storage design
