When it comes to fixing your need for speed, nothing beats solid state drives and when it comes to external storage devices, this goes double. For their shear power and shear portability it really is hard to beat a SSD coupled to a
USB 3.0 interface. Take the all new Verbatim USB 3.0 SSD Storage Solution for example. This aluminum clad Solid State Drive relies on a beefy 8-channel controller to allow for extreme small and large file transfer speeds. To be precise, the (128GB model) is rated for 190MB/sec reads and 175MB/sec writes. This certainly puts in the same league as the
Kingston HyperX Max.
As an added bonus the aluminum chassis makes this device as sexy as it is durable. This too is a good thing as lets face it you are going to drop it at some point and having it shrug it off with nary a sign of damage is surely going to be negate any worries about transporting your precious data. Helping in getting it from point A to point B, Verbatim includes a free drawstring pouch to keep it scratch and ding free on those long "sneaker net" trips. With sizes ranging from 32 to 128GB, you should be able to find one that satisfies your extreme speed storage requirements. No word at this time on pricing.
