Save up to $130 on the super-fast Samsung T5 external portable SSDs
Several readers who have found themselves working from home lately got in touch about external storage devices. They were looking for an external SSD with a terabyte or two of storage. But it needed to be fast and highly portable.
My go-to recommendation for performance external storage is Samsung. The T5 Portable SSDs are particularly good; they are small (74mm by 57.3mm by 10.5mm), light (51g), robust, and thanks to V-NAND flash, they are fast (with read and write speeds up to 540 MB/s.
The drive also features password protection and AES 256 bit hardware encryption, and comes with USB Type C to C and USB Type C to A cables for maximum flexibility.
But, they can be pricey.
