ADATA SE800 Portable 2TB vs WD My Passport SSD Portable 1TB

Compare ADATA SE800 Portable 2TB and WD My Passport SSD Portable 1TB side by side. Both are 2TB USB 3.2 Gen 2 external SSDs, but they differ in speed, design, and value. Here's how they stack up.

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.

WD My Passport SSD Portable 1TB
8.6/10

A 1TB WD My Passport SSD with a slim profile and 256-bit AES hardware encryption. The slim metal-and-plastic body is half the thickness of WD's non-SSD My Passport HDD — both USB-C and USB-A cables are included, removing the classic "Mac needs a converter" hassle.
