Amp up your laptop or PC's hard drive space with an external disk

We've listed a couple of reliable models for a variety of machines.
4 / 8
Transcend's SSD18C3 is a USB 3.0 solid state drive that's small and attractive. However, it doesn't provide much of a speed upgrade over a traditional USB 3.0 hard drive and with a cost per gigabyte over $5, it's also very expensive.
