Our Pick

Inland

Inland Performance 2TB

7.8/10

A 2TB Gen 2x2 portable from Inland's house line. Aggressive pricing vs the brand-name tier — while MicroCenter regularly stocks them in stores, online stock availability is inconsistent.

Netac

Netac ZX1 1TB

7.5/10

A budget Gen 2x2 portable from Netac — aggressive price vs the brand-name tier. The 1800 MB/s write rating is real but drops further on sustained workloads past the SLC cache. A valid budget pick for game-library overflow where peak sustained write doesn't matter.
