Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 Internal SSD

Samsung is one of the best known names in the SSD business because it manufactures its own flash memory chips. The company has a long history of bringing new SSD tech to the market. The Samsung 970 Evo Plus is a great workhorse SSD and delivers more than enough performance for everyday use. With 1TB of storage space, you'll have more than enough for today's biggest games as well as a decent library of movies and music. The M.2 form factor is now standard and commonly supported by laptops as well as desktop PCs. This is a PCIe 4.0 model which is widely compatible with current and previous-gen hardware. Samsung also promises power efficiency and reliability.

Western Digital WD Green SN350 NVMe 240GB NVMe SSD

This entry-level SSD costs so little that you really have no excuse to not have an SSD in your PC or laptop. 240GB is more than enough space for your operating system, important software, and all the files you'll need for your everyday work. If you need more space, this drive is available in capacities of up to 2TB and prices are still very reasonable. You can avoid the hassle of cables since M.2 slots are placed directly on your motherboard. This could even be a great way to upgrade an older PC or laptop for very little money. It's rated at 2400MBps, which is good enough performance for productivity and home use.

Samsung 980 PRO 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 Internal SSD

If you want absolutely top-end performance, Samsung's Pro SSDs are usually a good bet. The SSD 980 Pro promises read and write speeds up to 7000MBps thanks to the NVMe PCIe 4.0 interface and a custom in-house controller chip. This is a good option for gamers, PC enthusiasts, and anyone with very heavy workloads such as 3D media and video rendering. If 2TB is overkill, there's also a 1TB option. What's more, this SSD is even compatible with the PlayStation 5, if you want to bump up your storage for modern games. The integrated heat spreader is low-profile but should still help your SSD run cool. There's an extra 5 percent off if you apply a coupon before adding either option to your cart.

SanDisk 1TB USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD

Sometimes you need to carry a lot of heavy files from one PC to another and you just don't want to wait around for a slow external hard drive. A portable SSD can leverage much faster read and write speeds, and will also be much more resilient to physical damage than a spinning hard drive. SanDisk claims its latest Portable SSD model is rugged and can deliver up to 520Mbps transfer speeds thanks to its USB 3.2 Gen2 connection. It works with USB Type-C and Type-A ports, and there's a little rubber strap so you can hook it to your bag as an extra precaution. You can travel with it or just use it for backups at home.

With photo and video sizes ballooning thanks to improving phone cameras, you can't ever have too much space. This hard drive has a textured outer finish for style and protection. Its USB 3.0 connection is good enough for file transfers and you don't need any additional power source. It's also light enough to be carried around for all your backup needs on the go. It's available in black, red, white, and blue.

You get the benefit of fast USB 3.2 transfers, and a built-in thermal pad for heat dissipation. The tool-free design means you'll be up and running in seconds.
