How to read these scores

Each drive gets up to three ratings out of 100: speed (the maker's maximum sequential read), warranty term, and value (speed against price per GB). A buyer profile weights them. Tiers: S 90+, A 80–89, B 70–79, C 60–69, D below 60. Where a maker page does not state the warranty, we leave that row out and re-spread the weights; we never guess. Speeds are the maker's "up to" figures for the model line; smaller capacities are often slower. Read the full method.

Prices change frequently. The prices on this page were correct when we wrote and checked it, but they may have changed by the time you read this. Check the current price on the retailer's page before you buy.

We may earn a commission from some links on this page. It never affects our scores.
