For creative professionals, the Dual Portable SSD is a game-changer. It provides reliable storage for high-resolution photos, 4K videos, and other large files, enabling users to focus on their work without worrying about running out of space. Additionally, its fast transfer speeds ensure minimal downtime, helping you stay productive and efficient.

The Dual Portable SSD is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows 11, macOS (v. 13.7.6+), Linux (v. 4.4x+), Chrome OS, Android, and iOS/iPadOS (v. 13+). While compatibility may vary depending on the host software and hardware, the SSD is designed to work seamlessly with most modern devices. For Android and iOS/iPadOS users, an OTG adapter (not included) may be required to connect the SSD to their devices.
Kingston backs the Dual Portable SSD with a limited five-year warranty, free technical support, and its legendary commitment to reliability. The warranty is based on either five years of usage or the “SSD Life Remaining” indicator, which can be monitored using the Kingston SSD Manager tool. This ensures peace of mind for users, knowing their data is protected by a trusted brand.
