If you want to personalize this SSD's compact metal body, it's also available in three different colors: gray, red, and blue. If you want to increase that storage, prices grow very fast, but at any size the Samsung T7 is a solid choice.

The base model doesn't give you a ton of storage, but it actually has a surprisingly reasonable asking price, often coming in at well under $100.

The Samsung T7 Portable SSD comes in three size flavors: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB.

So, if you're looking for the best SSD for Xbox One consoles that can also comfortably grow to match the capabilities of an Xbox Series X or S, the Samsung T7 Portable SSD is probably the option to choose. This SSD is not fast enough to play full-blown Xbox Series X|S Optimized titles, but it's arguably the greatest external SSD available for Xbox Series X|S to store all your games that don't fit in that aforementioned category. Original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One titles will load significantly faster from the Samsung T7 on Microsoft's current-gen offerings versus Xbox One, even approaching the speeds that these backward-compatible games would load at directly from the Xbox Series X|S internal SSD.

However, it's extremely easy to unplug the Samsung T7 from your Xbox One and immediately plug it into your Xbox Series X|S (after swapping out the cables that come in the box) to take full advantage of the USB 3.2 connection. While you'll likely still see an improvement over the standard internal HDD Xbox Ones come with, it won't completely alter your gaming experience. Older Xbox One consoles are limited by their relatively outdated USB 3.0 ports, meaning they can't take full advantage of all the speed that this SSD has to offer. The Samsung T7 boasts of read and write speeds around the milestone 1,000Mbps mark, so you'll actually see improved load speeds and performance for games on the Xbox One family of consoles. What makes the Samsung T7 particularly unique is how its usefulness extends to Microsoft's latest consoles, meaning you can still take advantage of it even after upgrading to Xbox Series X|S. This compact and exceptionally built portable SSD drops the extra features from Samsung's more expensive offerings, like a fingerprint sensor, but keeps the reliable speeds and modern USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection that make it an excellent choice for expanding your console's storage. No matter what you need an external drive for, one of the best options around is the Samsung T7 Portable SSD.
