Verbatim Pocket SSD 512GB — Pocket-Sized Speed for Creators on the Move

The Verbatim Pocket SSD 512GB is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 portable solid-state drive designed for users who need fast, reliable storage that travels with them. Small enough to slip into a back pocket yet powerful enough for everyday performance, this external SSD delivers read and write speeds up to 1000 MB/s through a USB-C connection. Built for creators, gamers, professionals, and travelers, the drive keeps files within reach wherever work or play takes you. Transferring large video projects, editing high-resolution photos, or backing up important data becomes quick and effortless at bandwidths up to 10 Gbps.

What Sets the Pocket SSD Apart

Unlike many portable SSDs that rely on standard plastic shells, the Pocket SSD uses a Fireproof Polycarbonate enclosure that adds a layer of physical protection without adding bulk. An integrated keyring and cable holder keeps the included USB-C cable tangle-free during transport, while the supplied cloth bag offers an extra layer of protection on the road. The drive ships with Nero Backup Software for scheduled Windows backups, turning it into a complete out-of-box storage solution rather than a bare drive that needs extra setup.
