Top-capacity model is only 480GB
Its compact, its light, it has a lot of space and it’s easy to carry. It comes with a 3-year warranty. It does have a good performance with compress file types though I wish Kingston HyperX DataTraveller had enough space to do a 98.3GB assorted videos folder transfer test.

Compressed file transfer speed
When it comes to mobile storage solutions – everyone in the high-end segment is thinking either USB sticks or external hard drives. In the end we’re looking for strong performance without the size of carrying a standard sized hard drive around.
It's fast enough that I use it for my lightroom library so I can take it with me (always have a backup drive with me too) and immediately import new photos to lightroom in the field. It fees up space on my internal mac ssd and gives me a little more flexibility.
I use this with my BootCamp Windows 10 install on my MacBook Pro to run GTA V off of (so that I don't have to dedicate an more space to the bootcamp partition). Honestly, the load times are almost as fast as if I was running it straight off the internal SSD.
