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.

Putting it simply there are a host of options available to you here with the VisionTek Pocket USB SSD from backing up, a bootable drive to the installation of games. It isn’t as fast as an internal drive and you rarely get the speed that the company say its capable of, but it is certainly one of the fastest pocket drives we have ever tried.

The VisionTek USB 3.0 Pocket SSD shows that you can indeed get SSD-like performance in a USB 3.0 drive that can easily fit in your pocket.

Even with the subpar performance numbers, the VisionTek USB 3.0 Pocket SSD flash drive carries excellent capacity options and the ability to be a bootable drive. Along with this, pricing for this solution is within reach for most consumers, making it great value for users wanting the aforementioned features.
