    Got this to save me from buying a new computer. It did the trick since my internal HD crashed. Works flawlessly. Shipped out fast.

    Works great with my Xbox Series X. Much smaller than a spinning portable drive and since it's ssd, it sits on top of the Xbox with no problem with heat. Oh, pretty fast too.

    Compact & Light, Good Transfer Rate, Encryption

    This small and lightweight drive comes with cables for both USB-A and USB-C. Data transfer rates are pretty decent. I like that the drive comes with built-in encryption, which in my opinion is better than Bitlocker. When you plug in the drive for the first time on any computer, the only files readable are the drive are the encryption installers. Run the installer for the first-time setup, and then whenever you plug in the drive, it asks for your password before your files are visible. Once connected, the drive updates with the amount of available space.

    Amazingly thin and small — about the size of a credit card — this workhorse can hold a *ton* of data. I mean, like, crazy amounts.

    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.

    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.

    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.
