Score: 86/100
Lexar SL400
Score: 88/100Rankings

The Lexar SL400 is a 2 TB portable SSD with an integrated 4-port USB-C hub, delivering up to 1050 MB/s read speeds. Its trade-off is a modest 1-year warranty and a relatively thick chassis for an SSD. Ideal for content creators needing fast, rugged, hub-enabled storage on the go.

The Samsung T7 Touch Portable SSD 2 TB delivers blazing 1,050/1,000 MB/s speeds and biometric security in a tiny, aluminum case. Its drawbacks are the lack of an IP rating and the need for a modern USB 3.2 host to hit peak performance. Best for professionals and travelers who need fast, encrypted storage on the go.

Professional reviewers such as Tom's Hardware commend the T7 Touch for its ultra-compact size, premium aluminum build, and the combination of high 1,050/1,000 MB/s speeds with fingerprint-based AES-256-bit encryption. They note the inclusion of both USB-C cables and a three-year warranty as positives, while calling out the absence of an IP rating and the need for a USB 3.2 Gen 2 host to achieve advertised performance as minor drawbacks.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the drive's lightning-fast transfers, the convenience of fingerprint unlocking, and its pocket-friendly weight, while common complaints revolve around occasional reformatting requirements, slower speeds on legacy USB ports, and a noticeable warm-up during prolonged heavy use.
