AltaSSD
🔒 MAIN FEATURES
If you feel that our No 1 pick does not quite meet your capacity needs, then AltaSSD is the right choice for you. Offering an incredible 240GB memory storage, this compact device will fit 150 000 images – more than any other on our list. But images aren’t the only files you can keep in it – AltaSSD accepts most file types, so you can back-up what’s important in no time. Because it’s available in bulk and suits most devices (pretty much any PC/Mac and Android phones), it’s an excellent tool for photographers to keep their portfolios in or hand their customers large quantities of data without the risks of trusting the Cloud. We managed to transfer 3000 different types of files in just 30 seconds, so you won’t have to waste your precious time worrying about file backup.
DESIGN AND USE
AltaSSD is a thin, light, and conveniently portable device, fitting even in a smaller handbag or an average pocket. Its durable metal exterior guarantees that your files will be protected from external damage, even if it gets accidentally dropped. It comes with two cords – one for PC/Mac computers with a USB 3.0 port and another Type-C for Android devices. It’s straightforward to use, too. Just plug in the right cord and transfer files. AltaSSD will do it in no time, and you’ll be able to be on your way. There is no set-up or installation required, for it does not have software. However, if you have any issues or just want to get in-depth information on how AltaSSD works, there will be handy instructions included.
VALUE
AltaSSD is great on all accounts. It’s durable and convenient to carry around, it suits both mobile devices and laptops/computers, and its memory capacity is outstanding. The price is also fair, knowing how many gigabytes of data it can store, and you won’t have to pay a dime for shipping. The only reason it scored slightly lower than our No 1 pick is the extra cords. While FlashGBS can be simply carried around as is, you’d need to have AltaSSD transfer cords with the device to back up your files. However, it’s such a minor inconvenience that you won’t lose by picking this device over FlashGBS. It’s hard to say which one is better. In a way, it all comes down to your personal preference.
