The Angelbird SSD2GO PKT MK3 delivers sustained write performance of 1600 MB/s and sustained read speed of 1700 MB/s. It combines Angelbird’s Stable Stream technology with a compact, pocket-sized aluminium chassis for reliable high-resolution capture and fast offloading in the field.
The SSD2GO PKT features a sleek, sturdy aluminium exterior. As a lightweight, pocket-sized SSD, it easily slips into a back pocket or mounts to a camera’s hot shoe or cage using the Angelbird Mounting Bracket PKT. This design supports quick access during shoots and convenient transport between locations.
Angelbird’s Stable Stream ensures uninterrupted write and read performance across the SSD’s entire capacity. Consequently, you get consistent real-world performance you can count on for longer recording sessions and high-resolution workflows.
The SSD supports USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 connectivity with up to 20 Gb/s for effortless file offloading. Additionally, the package includes a 32 cm (12.6") high-speed USB-C 4.0 Solid Flex cable rated at 40 Gb/s. This gives you a robust, high-quality cable for day-to-day transfers and rig use.
The SSD2GO PKT includes an LED Write-Protect-Switch that prevents accidental formatting, file deletion, or unwanted data transfer. The switch also provides a clear visual indication of the device’s operational status to help avoid mistakes while handling important footage.
The Solid Connect design embeds a recessed connection point within the card reader to ensure a secure connection, reduce cable wear, and support stable, uninterrupted data transfer. The drive is also splash, shock, and dust proof for rugged use in varied environments.
The Write-Protect-Switch uses a built-in LED to show its current state. Three modes give a clear picture of operation:
Note: Always activate or deactivate the switch when the SSD has been safely ejected and is disconnected from the host (for example, a computer). Switching while the device is operating will not engage the Write-Protect function.
