Latest SSD Reviews
PNY RP60 Portable SSD Review
The PNY RP60 Portable SSD is a handsome, rugged external solid-state drive (SSD) that supports the lightning-fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard, but requires niche PC hardware to run at full performance.
Lexar SL500 Portable SSD Review
The Lexar SL500 is a slim, attractive, and highly portable external SSD with AES encryption, up to 4TB of storage, and blazing speed—the last, if you have the right port to support it.
Sabrent Rocket Nano XTRM External SSD Review
The Sabrent Rocket Nano XTRM is a sturdy, featherweight external SSD that supports Thunderbolt 3, but its maximum capacity of 1TB is a significant limitation for heavy data users.
Oyen Digital U34 Bolt Review
Oyen Digital's U34 Bolt is a sturdy, high-performance external SSD that offers up to 8TB of storage, but doesn't perform quite as well as we'd expect from a costly cutting-edge USB4 drive.
SanDisk Desk Drive Review
It's pricey per gigabyte and requires its own power source, but SanDisk's puck-shaped Desk Drive delivers loads of fast external solid-state storage to desktop and laptop users.
Lexar Professional SL600 Portable SSD Review
The Lexar Professional SL600 Portable SSD, an external drive geared to content creators, is handsome and a good performer, but you'll need a computer that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to get the most out of it.
ADATA SD810 Review
The compact ADATA SD810 external SSD is rugged, fast at everyday tasks, and inexpensive, making it an obvious choice if you have a computer that supports its USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface.
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z QLC Review
While it is neither fast nor overly durable for a SATA SSD, the TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z QLC provides up to 4TB of internal storage at a modest price.
TeamGroup MP44 Review
The TeamGroup MP44 internal SSD's benchmark results make it a good boot-drive candidate for a budget or mainstream PC, though its random write speeds keep it from the top of the performance pack.
Crucial T705 Review
The near-flawless Crucial T705 is the fastest internal solid-state drive (SSD) we've ever tested, delivering currently untouchable transfer rates (assuming you have a PCI Express 5.0-ready desktop to tame the beast).
Samsung SSD 990 EVO Review
The SSD 990 EVO is an excellent-value mainstream M.2 internal SSD, with whizzy performance and the class-leading warranty, software, and security that you'd expect from Samsung.
Corsair MP600 Elite Review
The Corsair MP600 Elite is inexpensive and available with an optional heatsink for a small premium, but uneven throughput performance holds back this DRAM-less M.2 SSD from excellence.
LaCie Rugged Mini SSD Review
LaCie's Rugged Mini SSD has the same iconic pumpkin-orange bumper as most of its other ruggedized offerings, but it's a smaller, more portable design. It's a good choice if your computer has a USB-C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.
OWC Express 1M2 Review
The OWC Express 1M2 is the first USB4 external SSD we've tested, and it put up zippy benchmark numbers over USB4 and Thunderbolt 4. Know, though: You'll need one of these ports to justify this drive's considerable expense.
Corsair MP700 Pro Review
The Corsair MP700's blistering throughput speeds make it tied for the fastest SSD we've reviewed, though you may need to build a whole new PC to get the most out of this drive.
Samsung Portable SSD T5 EVO Review
The Samsung Portable SSD T5 EVO is a tough sell at its current pricing, especially considering its SATA-class speeds, but this external solid-state drive does have one key strength: a whopping 8TB maximum capacity.
Apricorn Aegis NVX Review
It's not cheap, but Apricorn's Aegis NVX external SSD is secure, rugged, and speedy, making it an excellent repository for safeguarding your files on the go.
Crucial T500 Review
Micron's Crucial T500 is among the best full-featured PCIe 4.0 internal solid-state drives you can buy for building or upgrading a high-end PC.
Kingston XS1000 External SSD Review
The competitively priced Kingston XS1000 external SSD is tiny and still manages to offer solid performance, but without ruggedization or hardware-based encryption, it's not quite the perfect travel companion.
Addlink AddGame A93 Review
The Addlink AddGame A93 is a high-performance, inexpensive internal M.2 SSD that's great for gamers (or anyone else) upgrading or building a new PC on a budget.
