Samsung T7 1TB
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Samsung T7 1TB Portable SSD delivers blazing 1,050 MB/s read speeds in a feather-light aluminum case with AES-256 encryption and 2 m drop resistance. Its main trade-offs are inconsistent weight reporting and the lack of biometric security, plus speed drops on legacy ports. Ideal for mobile professionals and gamers who need fast, secure storage on the go.
The ADATA HD710 Pro 2 TB is a rugged 2.5-inch external HDD built to military-grade standards with IP6X dust-tight and IPX8 waterproof ratings. Its mechanical drive limits sequential speeds to around 130 MB/s and adds bulk compared with SSDs. Best suited for field workers and adventurers who prioritize durability over speed.
