Frequently Asked Questions:

Should I buy a Portable SSD or a Portable HDD?

It depends on how you plan to use it:

• Portable SSD (Solid State Drive): Buy this if you need speed and durability. SSDs have zero moving parts, meaning they can survive drops, bumps, and being tossed into a backpack. They are incredibly fast (often reaching 1,000 MB/s to 2,000 MB/s), making them perfect for transferring massive video files, running software directly from the drive, or expanding the fast storage of a laptop.

• Portable HDD (Hard Disk Drive): Buy this if you need maximum capacity on a budget. HDDs use fragile spinning magnetic disks, so they must be handled with care and kept stationary. They are much slower than SSDs, but they are significantly cheaper, making them the absolute best choice for long-term archival backups (like storing 5TB of old photos or full system backups).

Can I install and play games from an External SSD?

Yes, but with some caveats! If you buy a high-quality portable SSD (like a Samsung T7 or SanDisk Extreme) and plug it into a fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 or USB4 port on your PC or laptop, you can absolutely install and play most PC games directly from it with minimal loading screens. However, modern consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will only let you store new games on an external USB drive; to actually play the newest generation of console games, they must be transferred to the console’s internal NVMe SSD.

Why is my portable SSD copying files slower than advertised?

The speed of your portable SSD is limited by the weakest link in the chain. If you buy a blazing-fast drive capable of 2,000 MB/s but plug it into an old, standard USB 2.0 or basic USB 3.0 port on your computer, the drive will be physically bottlenecked by the port’s slower speed. To get the maximum advertised speeds, you must ensure you are plugging the drive into a modern USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, USB4, or Thunderbolt port, and using the high-quality cable included in the box.

Can I use a portable drive with both my Mac and Windows PC?

Yes, but you may need to format it first! Many external drives come pre-formatted for Windows (NTFS) or Mac (APFS). If you want to seamlessly plug the drive into both Mac and Windows computers and read/write files without any issues, you should format the drive to exFAT. This is a universal file system that both Apple and Microsoft operating systems understand perfectly.
