The HIKSEMI T300S Portable SSD is now available at Mascom International for KSh 10,000, offering 512GB of storage with read speeds up to 560MB/s and write speeds up to 500MB/s over a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C connection. This pocket-size drive weighs just 48 grams and measures 78.3 x 61.4 x 12.45mm, slipping into a shirt pocket or laptop bag. You can buy the HIKSEMI T300S at our Nairobi CBD store inside Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. The HIKSEMI T300S runs across Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux without installing any drivers.
Photographers, videographers, and software developers across Kenya lose hours waiting on slow flash drives and crowded laptop storage. The HIKSEMI T300S moves a 5GB video file in roughly 10 seconds at full speed, freeing room for new projects. Content creators shooting weddings in Karen or corporate events at the KICC can offload footage on location, then keep editing without filling their internal SSD. Students at the University of Nairobi and Strathmore back up dissertations and lecture recordings in seconds. The HIKSEMI T300S also expands Android phone storage through OTG, holding overflow photos and videos off the handset.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock unbranded drives with unclear speeds, Mascom International publishes the HIKSEMI T300S verified read and write figures so you know what you pay for. Users consistently report stable transfers during 4K video editing and quick game-library copies between machines. The aluminium-alloy shell handles knocks inside a Nairobi matatu commute or a Thika Road trip. Visit Mascom International to test the HIKSEMI T300S before purchase, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. You inspect the drive and pay only once it reaches you.
Common Questions About the HIKSEMI T300S
What is the HIKSEMI T300S Portable SSD and how fast is it?
The HIKSEMI T300S is a 512GB external solid-state drive that reads at up to 560MB/s and writes at up to 500MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C. That speed is roughly four to five times faster than a spinning external hard drive. A full SD card of wedding photos copies across in under a minute. With no moving parts inside, the HIKSEMI T300S stays silent and cool during long transfer sessions, which suits photographers and editors working through large batches of files.
Is the HIKSEMI T300S worth KSh 10,000 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 10,000, the HIKSEMI T300S gives you 512GB of solid-state storage and 560MB/s transfer speeds in a 48-gram aluminium body. Most flash drives at this price cap out near 150MB/s and use slower mechanical-style controllers. Mascom International sells the HIKSEMI T300S with verified speed figures and pay-on-arrival delivery, so you confirm the drive works before paying. For creators, students, and office staff moving large files weekly, the time saved repays the price within a few projects.
Which devices work with the HIKSEMI T300S?
The HIKSEMI T300S connects to Windows PCs, macOS laptops, Linux machines, Android phones, and Android tablets running version 4.0 or above. The USB Type-C plug fits modern laptops and phones directly, while the included adapter lets you connect to older USB-A ports on desktops and printers. No driver installation is needed; you plug in and the drive appears as a folder. This plug-and-play setup helps field engineers and sales teams move files between mixed office machines without IT support.
How much can the 512GBHIKSEMI T300S actually hold?
The 512GB HIKSEMI T300S gives you roughly 465GB of usable space after formatting. That holds about 100 hours of 1080p video, 30,000 high-resolution photos, or 8 large PC games. A photographer can store several full wedding shoots before clearing it. The capacity suits content creators backing up 4K footage and students archiving years of coursework. If you regularly handle larger media libraries, Mascom International also stocks 1TB and 2TB HIKSEMI T300S versions at higher price points.
Can the HIKSEMI T300S expand my Android phone storage?
Yes, the HIKSEMI T300S works as Android phone storage through OTG using the USB Type-C connection. You plug it into a Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, or Xiaomi phone and move photos, videos, and downloads straight onto the drive. This frees internal space without deleting memories or apps. Content creators filming on phones can clear footage between shoots and keep recording. The drive draws power from the phone, so no separate charger or wall socket is needed during transfers.
How durable is the HIKSEMI T300S for daily carrying?
The HIKSEMI T300S uses an aluminium-alloy housing with no moving internal parts, so it survives the bumps that damage spinning hard drives. The casing resists drops of around one metre and shrugs off the shocks of a daily Nairobi matatu commute or a dusty Eldoret road trip. The metal body also acts as a heat spreader, keeping transfer speeds steady during long sessions. A blue indicator light shows when the drive is reading or writing, so you avoid unplugging mid-transfer.
What's included in the HIKSEMI T300S box?
The HIKSEMI T300S retail box contains the SSD unit, a USB-A to USB-C cable, a USB Type-C to USB-A adapter, and a quick start guide. The two connection options mean you can plug into both modern USB-C laptops and older USB-A desktops out of the box. Mascom International supplies the HIKSEMI T300S sealed and new, with the manufacturer's documentation intact. No extra cables or adapters are required to start moving files on the day it arrives.
How does Mascom International deliver the HIKSEMI T300S across Kenya?
Mascom International ships the HIKSEMI T300S to all 47 Kenyan counties on a pay-on-arrival basis, so you pay only when the drive reaches you. Nairobi and its environs receive same-day delivery, while Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and other major towns get the drive within 1 business day.
