Rugged, portable, and trendy, external solid-state drives (SSDs) are the obvious path these days to netting fast extra storage for your PC or Mac. And although it's not nearly the household name that SSD giant Samsung is, ADATA offers external drives that compete with the storage big-leaguers at aggressive prices. A refresh of the ADATA SE730 we reviewed two years ago, the ADATA SE730H introduces USB-C-to-USB-C data transfers with a potential ceiling of 10Gbps, over a USB 3.1 Gen 2 connection. It's compact, it's waterproof, and—best of all—it's fast, if not much faster than your typical external SSD. And, for the amount of storage space you're getting, it costs less than the 500GB version of our Editors' Choice, the Samsung Portable SSD T5 .
