Our Pick

ADATA

ADATA SE800 Portable 2TB
7.6/10

The 2TB SE800 keeps the same tiny plastic body of the 1TB version -- awwardly small for 2TB. Budget pricing per-TB makes it a value buy for PS5/Xbox cold library expansion, where sustained write speed takes a back seat to capacity-per-dollar.

Lexar

Lexar SL100 Pro Portable 1TB
7.5/10

A brushed-aluminum portable SSD the size of a credit card -- one of the smallest 1TB Gen 2 SSDs in retail. Buy it for the form factor; the 950 MB/s rating undershoots the full 1050 Gen 2 ceiling.
