PORTABLE SSD ❘ £146 from Amazon www.snipca.com/53308
This external SSDUSB-C comes with a port that means you can connect it to almost any PC, laptop, phone or tablet. We’re reviewing the 2TB version here, but if you want to sacrifice some capacity to save money, it’s also available with 1TB (£86 from www.snipca.com/53309), 512GB (£57 from www.snipca.com/53310) and 256GB (£43 from www.snipca. com/53311). This large capacity for a portable SSD makes it ideal for highdemand use such as video editing, photo editing and gaming
Bear in mind that you’ll need a very specific type of USB-C port – called USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 – on the connected device to get the top quoted speeds of 20Gbps. Check your laptop or PC’s manual or specifications. If your other device has a different port standard – such as Thunderbolt 3 or 4, or USB 4.0 – the SSD will only manage 10Gbps transfer rates at best.
