Backing up your data is so important in today’s world. Not only do we have to worry about corrupted disks, but also ransomware that locks your data behind a password (you should never pay the criminals behind these attacks). The best way to prevent data loss is by copying your documents to an external drive.
On Amazon US right now, you can pick up the 2TB SABRENT Rocket XTRM 5 Thunderbolt 5 SSD for $399.99. That might seem like a hefty price, but it is 17% off its typical price of $479.99.
With this ultra-fast Thunderbolt 5 SSD, you get up to 64Gbps transfer speeds with an 80 Gbps connection. This is great for high-speed data access, large file transfers, and demanding workloads. It also has broad compatibility with older devices, with backwards compatibility with Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, and USB4 at 10, 20, or 40Gbps. There is also USB fallback support up to 20Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2), but with 10Gbps and 5Gbps supported too for wide device coverage.
A very nice aspect of this product is that it doesn"t need any external power support, so just plug it in and instantly start transferring files. If you are concerned about durability, it looks like a tough product. It has an aluminum body for heat dissipation and durability, and it comes with a silicone sleeve for enhanced drop protection and resistance to environmental hazards.
