A new portable SSD
weighing just 29g has been created by WarpDrives, offering a compact
solid-state drive with NVMe high speed data transfer technology for just US$ 119
or roughly £ 98. Offering 1TB or 2TB of storage and USB-C connectivity together
with support for USB-A the WarpDrive provides high-speed data transfers
reaching speeds up to 850MB/s.
Transferring a 4K

and external HDD drives with USB 3.0 connections. The WarpDrive has an IP67
rating, meaning it can be dropped into a body of water up to a meter deep for
