    Just get the larger one. Trust me. or you can be like me and buy 500gb drives over many years and then have to carry a case of all these drives like a 2000s CD case.

    After a lot of research I decided to go with the PS5 Digital Edition. I knew I needed to get an external drive and this one is perfect. It was a bit pricey but it works super fast and gives me plenty of space for the games.

    This works perfectly in my Tesla Model Y. Quick format and adding the required folder allowed my dashcam to go from 1 hour to 1 month of storage. One of the easiest upgrades to apply

    Samsung T7 SSD

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Samsung's Portable SSD T7 Touch scored our PCMag Editors' Choice award and Best of the Year honors as the top external solid-state drive for 2020, largely on the strength of its fingerprint-based security system. The Samsung Portable SSD T7 (starts at $109.99 for 500GB; $369.99 for the 2TB version tested) saves you money by skipping the fingerprint reader and is available in a different set of colors. It's a tiny, handy storage device with solid performance for its class, and while it lacks the convenience of the T7 Touch's biometric security, its strong password-protected encryption should be more than adequate to protect your data.

    I needed a faster ssd for my M1 MacBook. This thing is speedy on data transfers and surprisingly small. I edit my photos directly from this drive, which frees up space on my computer.
