Transcend ESD410 2TB
Score: 86/100
Lexar SL400
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Transcend ESD410 provides 2 TB of storage with 2,000 MB/s read/write performance, MIL-STD-810G shock resistance, IPX5 water resistance, and 256-bit AES encryption. Sustained write speeds fall after the 64 GB pSLC cache and full speed requires a compatible host. Perfect for field-working videographers needing rugged, high-speed storage.
The Lexar SL400 2TB Portable SSD combines a high-speed 1050 MB/s read drive with an integrated 4-port USB-C hub, delivering fast performance and versatile connectivity. Its trade-offs include a modest 1-year warranty and limited rugged features compared to premium enclosures. Ideal for content creators needing portable, hub-enabled storage.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
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.
