Question: What is the best portable SSD to throw in a bag for laptop backups, media files, and quick restores? Answer: I would put the Samsung T7 Shield Portable SSD 2 TB at the top because it is fast enough for normal use and has a tougher case, while the Crucial X9 Pro 2TB Portable External SSD is a strong alternative if you want a small drive for editing and travel. If budget matters more than peak sustained writes, the Crucial X9 2TB Portable External SSD is the one I would check first.

The T7 Shield has been solid for me, no drama at all.

Crucial is tempting if the price drops below Samsung.

I would still keep a second copy at home, portable drives get lost.

For photos and forum backups, any of these would be a huge upgrade.
