Rank #8 in Best Portable SSD 2026: 10 Ranked on Speeds That Fit the Cable
Fikwot FP80 Portable SSD 1TB, USB 3.2 Gen2x2, 2050MB/s, Alloy Shell
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Fikwot FP80 targets the same fast tier as the Samsung T9 with a different compromise: 2050 megabytes per second over USB 3.2 Gen2x2 in an alloy shell, with 1TB of capacity, hardware encryption and shock resistance named among its features, and compatibility listed across cameras, desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets.
The listing also gives a media speed range of 1600 to 1800MB/s, which is the more honest figure for sustained work than the peak read number. Evidence is thinner here: it is one of the lower rated drives on this list at 3.9 stars. It carried 549 ratings at the time of collection. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Excellent SSD. Very small, it's smaller than a credit card. The drive is extremely fast and excellent read write speeds. I tested the drive in 3 types of transaction. Read, write and read + write at the same time. It's impressive with speeds in the high levels.I would most certainly purchase this again as it is durable and has very good heat levels. It does get warm but not hot. It connects via USB C and does come with a USB C lead albeit very short.An excellent pocket drive with very impressive speeds.”
Verified purchase“Small, fast and so far working no probs.Used to transfer large video files.”
