SSD reviews

Glass cannon The glass cannon of portable drives: fast but expensive and possibly even risky.

Handheld upgrade A solid all-rounder, but it offers little over capacity.

Micro drive Aggressively priced and impressively potent.

Rugged rubber Fantastic quality, great sustained speeds, and a premium rugged casing.

Zippy The PD20 is so small it might as well be a USB flash drive—except it's much faster.

Simply Speedy This portable SSD has no unnecessary frills. It's simple and fast, just the way I like it.

getting there We're not there yet, but the price of this speedy Gen 5 drive is slowly becoming more palatable.

Cost per GB The fastest SSD for random reads/writes we've ever tested, but for what purpose?

Handheld upgrade For a Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or Legion Go SSD update, look no further than the impressive Play 2230.

Make space Big storage, big performance, relatively small price.
