- iKlips S USB-C Nano Touch Fingerprint SSD moves 1GB in about three seconds
- Fingerprint security supports 20 users, but does not have AES-256 encryption.
- The 256GB capacity limits large creative workflows, despite the transfer speed.
The iKlips S USB-C Nano Touch Fingerprint Solid State Drive is designed for users who value fast data transfer and compact portability.
Developed by ADAM, this device measures just 14 x 26 x 17mm and weighs just 5.2 grams, making it easy to slip into your pocket or attach to your key fob.
Despite its small size, it can transfer 1GB of data in about three seconds. This speed brings him closer to best SSD options in the portable segment.
Practical design meets real needs
Its compact aluminum body feels durable enough for daily use, although prolonged handling or exposure to heat may affect its durability over time.
The device instantly connects to any USB-C port without additional drivers, making it convenient for professionals using iOS, Android, Windows and macOS.
With data transfer speeds of up to 450MB/s read and 400MB/s write, it ensures smooth processing of large photo or video files.
These speeds are significantly faster than standard flash drives, although long data transfers over long sessions may experience throttling due to their size and lack of active cooling.
Compared to largest SSD units on the market, its 256GB capacity seems limited for heavy-duty workloads.
Security is ensured through a built-in fingerprint sensor, which replaces password-based access. Users can register up to twenty fingerprints, allowing them to be shared among small creative groups.
While this adds a practical layer of protection, biometric security on portable drives is not always foolproof, and data security still depends on careful handling, not just the sensor.
The lack of hardware encryption standards such as AES-256 can be a concern for professionals working with sensitive materials, especially in regulated industries.
iKlips S provides cross-platform convenience and fast offline data transfer, solving a common problem faced by those who work on multiple devices.
Although it serves as a bridge, is fast, small, and adaptable, it is unlikely to satisfy advanced users with large data sets.
Near $89 on AmazonThe iKlips S delivers impressive speed in a compact form, but its durability is questionable.
This device is a practical travel companion, suitable for short breaks from work and temporary transfer of projects, but it is not a complete or long-term storage solution.
