Score: 68/100
Samsung T7 2TB
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Samsung T7 2TB Portable SSD offers the same blistering 1,050 MB/s read speeds as the 1 TB model while providing double the storage in an equally lightweight aluminum case with AES-256 encryption and 2 m drop resistance. Its drawbacks include a limited cable bundle and lack of rugged IP protection, making it less suited for harsh environments. Best for users needing high-capacity, fast, portable storage without sacrificing portability.
The WD_BLACK P10 5TB Game Drive provides 5 TB of portable storage with 130 MB/s USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance and broad console and PC compatibility. Its bulkier 2.5-inch form factor and lack of encryption make it less suited for users prioritizing speed or data security. Best for gamers needing massive game libraries on the move.

Professional reviewers commend the P10 for its massive 5 TB capacity, lightweight chassis, and solid USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance, positioning it as a convenient way to expand console storage without sacrificing portability. However, they also point out its bulkier profile, slower HDD speed versus SSDs, and lack of encryption as notable drawbacks.
Everyday users generally praise the drive's huge capacity and easy plug-and-play compatibility across PlayStation, Xbox and PC, noting its portability and sturdy build. Recurring criticisms focus on its thickness, occasional heat buildup during long sessions, and slower load times compared with SSD alternatives.
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.
