Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 128GB Portable SSD

Often on the go and require a super-fast storage solution to take along? Portable SSDs are not exactly new, but they are constantly being improved. Though Kingston was a bit late to the party with its HyperX Max 3.0, we've found it to be the best portable SSD we've tested to date. It features huge speeds, and very good performance consistency.

You can read our full look at Kingston's drive and then discuss it here!

Very nice piece of tech.

I have never been a fan of portable, mechanical drives simply because if you jar them too much, you run the risk of screwing up the drive.

My external is an emergency back up that never leaves my desk.
