Best portable SSDs of the year: Samsung, OWC, Crucial, WD, and more

2023 From $60

We are now rounding up all of our favorite on-the-go storage options in our 2023 collection of the best portable SSDs. While we didn’t see a ton of big-time standout new releases in 2023, there have been some next-generation releases from major brands worth consideration. Something like the new Samsung T5 Evo with up to 8TB capacities is going to be far less universally appealing to most folks, but its new T9 and mainstay T7 series is quite the opposite, much like the new X9 and X10 Pro models from Crucial. This year has also seen some unfortunate controversy in the portable SSD space with some issues arising among the formerly quite popular SanDisk Extreme lineup – my units work just fine, but there have been a ton of failures reported across the interwebs – however there are plenty of reliable solutions out there and we are breaking down our favorite options right now in our 2023 collection of the best portable SSDs to close out the year. Check them out below.

$190 off $250

Joining the ongoing deal on the 2TB model, we are now tracking the very first price drop on the new high-capacity 4TB Samsung T9 Portable Solid-State Drive.

This is $190 off the MSRP, the very first price drop, and a subsequent Amazon all-time low. Yes, this is a pricey endeavor for sure.

If you don’t have the high end ports, today’s $200 sale price on the T7 Shield 1,050MB/s model might be a better bet. Check out our hands-on review and head below for more details.
