One of the “mistakes” of technology users is to buy low-capacity computers and laptops (128GB or 256GB) but the demand for use is higher. While many people choose a solution to back up data to the “cloud” such as Google Drive, iCloud Drive or OneDrive…, many others choose to buy portable SSD hard drives to store data, because not Internet access is not always available to access hosting services.
In the past few years, the demand for portable SSDs has been increasing, partly because the data reading and writing speed of SSDs is higher than that of conventional HDDs, and partly because of the cost of SSDs. has decreased much. For those who are not familiar with technology, choosing “pre-built” hard drives with the advantages of compact design, fast speed, and high aesthetics is always a top priority.
Samsung is one of the popular manufacturers with portable SSD lines. Samsung’s portable SSD is quite popular with users due to its reasonable price, many capacity options from 512GB, 1TB to 2TB. Currently, the most popular are the two SSD lines Samsung T5 and Samsung T7, in which the T7 series has twice faster read and write speeds. Recently, Samsung also added to the T7 series a new version, the T7 Shield, with more durability thanks to a shock-resistant rubber cover.
Besides Samsung, SanDisk is also a well-known brand of storage solutions in the market. Recently, SanDisk introduced the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 series, focusing on high data read and write speeds and most importantly, extremely high durability.
In addition, there are quite a few portable SSD lines from other famous brands such as WD, Silicon Power or KingSpec and Crucial, all of which have good quality as well as reasonable prices.
