I'm sure TekQ isn't a vendor many of us have heard of. I myself had not heard of TekQ until they approached me to do this review.

Their biggest move to date is the product we are talking about today, the Rapide Thunderbolt 3 SSD.

For those of you that have read my articles in the past, you know I have been testing Thunderbolt storage devices from day one. With Thunderbolt 3, we have seen an emergence of high performance portable SSDs hit the market.
