Portable SSD for Mac
Portable SSDs built for Mac and PC, from everyday USB-C backup drives to Thunderbolt 5 storage fast enough for 8K video editing. Compatible with every current MacBook, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Studio, including Apple Silicon M1 to M4. Choose from 1TB to 96TB, with speeds up to 80Gbps for RAW video, Final Cut Pro and Time Machine backups.
Choosing the Right Portable SSD for Your Mac
Portable SSDs provide a simple way to expand your Mac's storage without opening or upgrading the computer itself. The right drive depends mainly on how much performance you need, how you intend to use the storage and which connections are available on your Mac.
USB-C Portable SSDs for Everyday Storage
USB-C portable SSDs are an excellent choice for everyday storage, transferring files between computers and keeping a portable backup. Their compact design makes them particularly useful for MacBook users who need additional storage while travelling or working away from a desk.
They are also well suited to Time Machine backups, photo libraries, documents and general file storage where maximum Thunderbolt performance is not required.
Best for: everyday files, Time Machine backups, photos, documents and portable storage.
Explore USB-C SSDs →Thunderbolt Portable SSDs for High-Performance Workflows
Thunderbolt portable SSDs are designed for applications where storage performance matters. The higher bandwidth available through Thunderbolt makes these drives particularly useful when working directly from external storage rather than simply using it for backup or archiving.
This makes Thunderbolt storage a strong choice for video editing, large photo libraries, audio production and other professional workflows involving large files and frequent data transfers.
Best for: video editing, large photo libraries, creative projects and professional workflows.
Explore Thunderbolt SSDs →Which Portable SSD Is Right for Your Workflow?
Rather than choosing an SSD based only on maximum transfer speed, consider how you actually plan to use the drive.
- Everyday Storage: A USB-C portable SSD provides a good balance of speed, portability and compatibility.
- Time Machine & Backup: A portable USB-C SSD is ideal for fast, compact Mac backups.
- Photo & Video: Thunderbolt storage provides additional bandwidth for large media files and demanding creative applications.
- Professional Work: High-performance Thunderbolt SSDs are designed for workflows where large files are regularly edited or transferred directly from external storage.
Portable SSDs for MacBook, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Studio
External SSD storage can be used across a wide range of Mac computers, including MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Studio. When choosing a drive, check the ports available on your particular Mac and whether your workflow will benefit from USB-C or Thunderbolt performance.
If you regularly move between computers, a portable SSD can also provide a convenient way to keep projects and large files available without relying entirely on your Mac's internal storage.
Not Sure Which Portable SSD to Choose?
The best portable SSD depends on your Mac, available connection, required capacity and the way you intend to use the drive. Visit our Mac Workflow Guides for practical storage recommendations, or contact our team if you need help choosing the right solution for your Mac.
