The key factor for you may be price, or perhaps it\u2019s sheer amounts of storage. For others, speed could be of the essence. If you\u2019re using your drive out in the field\u2014or literally <em>in<\/em> a field\u2014you\u2019re going to need something a little more rugged, too.<\/p>\n<p>The chances are that a combination of all of these things are what you consider when making your purchase, but no matter what your focus is there will be an SSD for you. Here are our picks of the best all-round SSD, the fastest, and also the most rugged\u2014so nobody is left out.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_update\"><p><strong>Update, 5\/23\/22:<\/strong> Updated links for Samsung and SanDisk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Overall_SSD_Samsung_T5\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">Best Overall SSD: Samsung T5<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15251 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2019\/04\/647f26ed.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung T5\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Samsung<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Samsung has established itself as one of the biggest players in the portable SSD market, and with good reason. The Samsung T3 was a super popular SSD, and its replacement comes in the form of the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-T5-Portable-SSD-MU-PA1T0B\/dp\/B073H552FK?tag=rgroundups-20\">Samsung T5<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With the T5, Samsung has another hit on its hands thanks to its combination of super-fast speeds and reasonable pricing. Thanks to the USB 3.1 connection you can expect real-world speeds of up to 540MB\/s thanks to the use of USB 3.1 connectivity via either USB-C or USB-A ports (the drive has a USB-C port, but includes cables for both USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A). On top of all that it\u2019s quite compact.<\/p>\n<p>Storage options range from 250GB all the way up to 2TB.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fastest_SSD_Samsung_X5\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Fastest SSD: Samsung X5<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15252 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ca69ea92.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung X5\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Samsung<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If money is no object, then the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Portable-SSD-Thunderbolt-MU-PB1T0B\/dp\/B07GBGG68L?tag=rgroundups-20\">Samsung X5<\/a> is where you should be putting yours. The use of the blazing fast Samsung 970 Evo NVMe SSD inside this thing should tell you that it\u2019s going to be quick, and it really us. But it\u2019s not cheap, and it\u2019s slightly larger than the T5.<\/p>\n<p>So how fast\u00a0<em>is<\/em> the X5? In a word, very. Connected over Thunderbolt 3, it boasts speeds of up to 2.8GB\/s, which is ming-bogglingly quick. You might not get those speeds in the real world, but even if you get anywhere resolving them, you\u2019re going to be very happy indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Given the cost, you might not want to splurge on the 2TB model, but with 1TB and even 500GB options available, there\u2019s room for most budgets.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Rugged_SSD_SanDisk_Extreme\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Best Rugged SSD: SanDisk Extreme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15253 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2019\/04\/c647514f.jpg\" alt=\"SanDisk Extreme\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">SanDisk<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re taking your portable SSD out and about, you\u2019re going to want it to stay safe while you do it.
