Portable SSD

[Albarona]

I was looking for a 240GB portable ssd & I've found 4 that fits into my budget.

01. Netac NT01Z - 250GB

02. PNY Elite - 240GB

03. Adata SD600Q - 240GB

04. Transcend ESD230C - 240GB

Can anyone tell me which one is better.

You don't say the prices so how could we say what's best value for the money? 

 

Order them by type of flash memory used .. TLC is better than QLC 

Then order them by warranty ... the longer warranty, the more confident the manufacturer is about the product and quality of flash memory used inside.

Then pick based on connectors - for example what's the point of getting one with usb type c connector if your computer only has usb type a (standard connectors)

 

There's another option : buy a regular SATA SSD and separately an enclosure (the case has a chip which converts usb to sata)... this way you can also reuse the SATA SSD in a regular computer when you don't need it anymore. The enclosures are 10-20$. 

 

It's also kinda difficult to figure out what controller is used, how many channels the controller uses (how many flash memory chips)... with regular SATA retail drives it's a big easier to recommend models.
