More costly than other SSD thumb drives with a similar appearance

Is it good? Yes. Is it Expensive? Yes. The Pocket SSD's aren't inexpensive by any means. For what the 128gb model costs you could easily purchase a 240gb SSD for internal storage. But, that doesn't give you the flexibility that the portable Pocket SSD doe...

The VisionTek USB Pocket SSD (120GB) is more robust and speedier than a plain USB memory stick, but has the latter's compact form factor. It works best as a quick, part-time repository of files and can be used to build an emergency boot drive....

The VisionTek USB 3.0 performed well but to perform at full speed requires a re-format to 4k sectors. Even using legacy 512K sectors performance was high and the drive is durable enough to survive the toughest road warrior. 8

Well Priced, High Quality Components, Solidly Built
The VisionTek USB Pocket SSD 120GB is a great offering. I've spent a week with the drive. It looks well designed and quite durable. It proved to be very flexible. I used it in every way imaginable and was never disappointed. It never failed to transfer fi...
