Go down the do-it-yourself route and a decent 128GB SSD can be allied to a USB 3.0 enclosure for under £100.īut there's a well-established market for portable storage that makes use of mechanical hard-drives. The 2.5in form factor of most consumer SSDs also make them eminently suitable for portable-storage purposes, given the innate shockproof nature of drives and general availability of cheap USB 3.0 enclosures. Ever-tumbling prices of solid-state disks (SSDs) make them tasty propositions for users looking to speed up their systems by installing an SSD as a boot drive.
