I see that there is no end to what VisionTek can do. First there was that USB Hub, and now there is the USB Pocket SSD thumb drive.

You read the headline correctly on this one. Not only is it USB 3.0, but they are available in 120GB and 240GB. These USB drives are packed with a high-performance LSI SandForce controller that can read at 455 MB per second, and write at 440 MB per second. You can also install Windows 8/8.1 on it, so you can have a bootable and fully functional Windows environment for wherever you want to plug it into. In fact, I am told that by downloading and installing Boot Camp drivers will allow you to run Windows on a Mac.

In short, the VisionTek USB Pocket SSD is like having a hard drive in your pocket, and it is made with aircraft-grade aluminum so it is very, very tough. You should be able to get the 120GB model for $109.99 here and the 240GB model for $174.99 here. This is relatively cheap compared to the competitors.

As a bonus, I have a little video from LinusTechTips about this product, and I think it is pretty interesting. I wonder if I could do videos…hmmm.
