Awards and Reviews
This drive copied the entire camera folder from my Pixel phone to my laptop so quickly I feared it must have failed. But when I checked my laptop, everything was present and correct.
...if your devices have only USB-C ports and you don’t want to bother with a dongle, this flash drive provides plenty of speed and storage for general use.
It’s by far the speediest drive I have tested (1,000 MB/s read, 900 MB/s write), so it’s especially perfect for transferring large files.
It’s a great choice if you want to back up or move files between smartphones, tablets, or laptops with USB-C ports.
The DataTraveler Max can run with and even beat a whole host of portable NVMe SSDs, as demonstrated with an exclamation point by our 100GB transfer test. Best-in-class and TweakTown Elite.
We have literally every SSD that matters ever made at our disposal, but this little USB drive has captured our hearts. It is, in our opinion, the best overall execution of fast, portable storage we've seen to date. There is nothing like it.
