Seagate One Touch SSD Portable 500GB vs WD Black P50 Game Drive SSD Portable 2TB
Compare Seagate One Touch SSD Portable 500GB and WD Black P50 Game Drive SSD Portable 2TB side by side. Both are 500GB USB 3.2 Gen 2 external SSDs, but they differ in speed, design, and value. Here's how they stack up.
Seagate
A 500GB One Touch is Seagate's bottom-of-line portable SSD — usually the cheapest brand-name Gen 2 1TB-and-below portable at retail. The bundle includes Rescue data recovery (extending Seagate's warranty protection into physical damage recovery).
Western Digital
The 2TB Black P50 doubles the SLC cache budget of the 1TB — sustained writes hold 2000 MB/s noticeably longer than on the 1TB. RGB-free Gen 2x2 with a 5-year warranty is genuinely rare; the chief competitor is the Kingston XS2000 2TB, also 5-year but lower price.
