Targus HyperDrive Next SSD enclosure Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Targus HyperDrive Next SSD enclosure at £68 ex-VAT feels like a decent “get it done” purchase, but it’s not a bargain-bin add-on. Enclosures in this price band usually win when you need a reliable way to move files or run a fast external drive for work—without wrestling with adapters or wondering if it’s going to play nicely with different laptops. If your team is constantly swapping SSDs for backups, quick client handovers, or testing/deploying data, this is the sort of thing that reduces hassle and risk. Targus also tends to be solid on build consistency, which matters when IT folk are handing these out rather than keeping them on a single desk.

That said, I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re buying purely for “occasional file transfer” or you already have a compatible dock/enclosure solution—£68 is the point where you really want to know you’ll use it regularly. Also, if you have a mixed fleet of laptops, it’s worth double-checking compatibility with the ports your users actually have (USB-C vs older kit can make or break the experience). In short: good value for users who live off external SSD performance day-to-day; less compelling for casual, infrequent use or for anyone expecting it to replace a proper dock.
