There are more affordable WD models out there – the newer WD_BLACK 500GB P40 Game Drive SSD sells for $90, for example – but you can get even better bang for your buck landing a portable SSD that isn’t specifically designed for gaming. The SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD is only about half the speed of the aforementioned options here, but you can land double the storage for $99 shipped.
