p X2 MAX seamlessly merges speed, storage, and sleek portability Gaming 
consoles benefit from fast game launches Dual connectors ensure universal 
device support for effortless data sharing 

At a time when large files, ultra-HD videos, and next-gen games demand 
ever-faster transfer speeds, traditional USB flash drives are beginning to 
feel sluggish. 

Thats why SSD-type portable storage devices like TeamGroups latest X2 MAX are 
stepping in to bridge the gap between USB convenience and the kind of 
performance expected from top-tier SSDs . 

The X2 MAX, available in 1TB and 2TB capacities, offers read speeds of up to 
1,000MB/s and write speeds of up to 900MB/s, easily outpacing even the best 
external HDD options. Thats a notable achievement for a device that weighs 
just 12 grams. No cables, no hassle  just plug-and-play 

Built on USB 3.2 Gen2x1 technology, the X2 MAX delivers transfer rates 
approaching those of high-end portable SSDs . 

Unlike many USB flash drives, the X2 MAX features both Type-C and Type-A 
connectors, offering broad compatibility across Windows PCs, Macs, and 
tablets. 

TeamGroup says the device also supports modern gaming consoles, including 
PlayStation and Xbox systems, with 10Gbps high-speed transfer. This means it 
can host hundreds of gigabytes of game data and still launch titles quickly - 
a major step up from legacy USB drives. 

Beyond speed and compatibility, the X2 MAX includes a five-year warranty and 
features a high-efficiency aluminum alloy shell to maintain stable 
performance under heavy load. It requires no cable and supports plug-and-play 
use across multiple platforms. With a slim length of just under 76mm, it 
easily fits in a pocket. 

Weve previously reviewed similar SSD-type portable storage such as the Adata 
Elite UE800 1TB and the SP 2TB USB flash drive. Other market alternatives 
include the SanDisk 2TB Extreme PRO Dual Drive , Transcend 2TB External SSD , 
and the SSK 2TB SSD . You may also like These are the largest SSDs and hard
