Solid state memory is great for many reasons, not least because it is super-fast when compared with the pedestrian speeds spinning disks can offer. They’re also much less susceptible to bumps and scrapes thanks to the fact there are no moving parts, but even in the world of the SSD, some are more rugged than others. The SanDisk Extreme Portable External SSD is a great option if you want to be sure your drive will survive some rough and tumble, and right now, the 500GB version is available at a great price.
