Transcend ESD410 2TB
Score: 91/100Rankings
The Transcend ESD410 2TB portable SSD delivers blazing 2000 MB/s read/write performance with a rugged, water-resistant design and built-in 256-bit AES encryption. Its sustained write speed falls after the cache is used and full speed is only achievable on USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 hosts. It is ideal for outdoor creators, videographers, and professionals needing fast, durable storage for high-resolution media.
The Samsung T7 2TB Portable SSD offers the same high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance as the 1 TB model while doubling storage capacity. It lacks an IP rating and includes only a USB-C to USB-A cable, which may limit convenience for some users. Best suited for professionals and gamers needing fast, secure, high-capacity portable storage.

Professional reviewers are not directly quoted in the available data, but retailer descriptions and product briefs consistently highlight the T7’s blazing USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, pocket‑sized aluminum chassis, and built‑in security as key strengths, while noting that real‑world performance depends on cable quality.
No explicit consumer reviews were found; the available information consists mainly of manufacturer and retailer specifications, so concrete user sentiment cannot be extracted.
Professional reviewers such as SSD-Tester and Guru3D highlighted the drive's lightning-fast peak throughput-over 2 GB/s in synthetic benchmarks-and its rugged construction that meets MIL-STD-810G and IPX5 standards. They praised its suitability for high-resolution video workflows but cautioned that sustained write speeds dip after the 64 GB pSLC cache is used up and that full performance requires a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host.
