No matter what line of work you are in, there are tools of the trade. Working in information technology, though, my tools tend to be more software oriented. In the past, this meant that I was carrying around many small flash drives with a specific set of files. With the price of storage being so much lower now, it is nice to be able to only have one or two of them to contain all of my utilities. For example, I have one drive that has all of my operating system installations on it, so no matter what system I am working on I can reinstall the OS, without digging around for the proper drive. The drive that I use for this happens to be the VisionTek 120GB Pocket SSD. This is a USB 3.0 drive that uses the LSI SandForce 2281 controller to enable high speed transfers. Performance on the VisionTek 120GB is rated for up to 445MB/s read and 440MB/s write, with random 4K performance of 39,000 IOPS. VisionTek has also designed this drive to be rugged with aircraft grade aluminum housing and a tight fitting rubber cap, for the on the go individual.
