Our Pick

Samsung

Samsung T7 Touch Portable 1TB
8.7/10

A fingerprint-secured variant of the portable T7 — three fingerprints supported, three registered per drive. Useful for carriers of client-confidential data (lawyers and consultants) where the cost of a lost drive without encryption is the limiting factor, not the cost of the drive.

Fingerprint unlock — no password typing
AES 256-bit hardware encryption
Same 1050/1000 MB/s speeds as base T7

Seagate

Seagate FireCuda Gaming SSD Portable 2TB
8.4/10

A 2TB FireCuda Gaming SSD with the full 5-year warranty and an RGB-lit center strip. Gen 2x2 over USB-C, headphone-aesthetic RGB, and a 5-year warranty give the FireCuda a defensible niche against the WD Black P50 2TB.

Gen 2x2 + 2TB
5-year warranty
Both cables in box
