Meet the Kingston Dual Portable SSD β while technically designated as a portable solid-state drive, its shape resemble that of a USB stick, though the similarities between the two ends pretty much right here. This model offers fast transfer speeds of 1,050MB/s read and 950MB/s write, which is what youβd expect from a portable SSD like this one.

Owing to its form factor, it comes with types of USB ports (Type-A and Type-C), which provides the flexibility to plug into PCs and smartphones alike, all without worrying about losing cables or adapters. The device supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) protocol which enables the peak transfer speeds we just mentioned, and it is available in capacities of 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB.
Now, while the lack of cables is a plus for some, you do still have to be aware of the two plastic caps on both ends that may end up loose and lost in a random crevice if youβre not particularly careful. Also, portable SSDs in USB stick form factor do still have to be considerably larger than their USB equivalents, and at 21.1mm wide, it may obstruct nearby ports on most PCs.
In any case, if you want one, you can head to Kingstonβs official Shopee and Lazada store and grab one for yourself. Pricing starts from RM369, although we spotted some inconsistencies in pricing across different platforms at this time of writing.
Pokdepinion: Honestly, I would prefer the slide-out mechanism.
