Silicon Power 2TB external SSD:Now $75.97 at AmazonThere’s no cheaper external SSD right now per storage capacity and this one that ticks all the right boxes. I’ve tested it, It’s solidly built from a well known brand and if you don’t want something very portable or very fast, it is as good as it gets. A 5/5 from me for value for money

The1TB version of the Silicon Power B75 rugged external SSDcost only $48.97 including free delivery. It is the cheapest 1TB portable SSD on the market but TB for TB, the 2TB and the 4TB versions are cheaper ($77.97 and $162.97 respectively).
Silicon Power is a trusted data storage brand (unlike a lot of other brands on Amazon) and has been around for more than a decade with at least a dozen of product reviews on TechRadar. I tested the previous version of theBolt B75almost five years ago and gave it a 3 star rating (out of 5) saying that it was expensive and big.
The 960GB version back then retailed for … $370, a near 8x price difference; the new version has a slightly higher 1TB capacity.
Other noteworthy features include a type-C connector, a LE indicator, a three-year warranty and a lightweight aluminum chassis that Silicon Power says offers both superior heat dissipation and gives it military-grade shock resistance.
Compared to some of thebest portable SSDsout there, it is slow with read/write data transfer rates up to 440MBps/430MBps which puts it at the lower end of SSD performance. That’s still far faster than even thebest external hard disk drives; note that while it is rugged, it is not water resistant.
