Rated 4.5 / 5 Stars %displayPrice% %seller% # 4 Crucial MX100 Read Our Review Our Verdict: An excellent mainstream SSD, the MX100 has a performance-for-price equation that tops today's field.

Rated 4.5 / 5 Stars %displayPrice% %seller% # 5 Samsung SSD 950 Pro (512GB) Read Our Review Our Verdict: With performance that blows away almost every other consumer SSD, a reasonable price, and a standard M.2 form factor, the SSD 950 Pro is easy to recommend for those who crave speed. But desktop users running very heavy workloads may still want to consider Intel’s competing drive. Rated 4 / 5 Stars %displayPrice% %seller% # 6 QNAP TS-251+ Read Our Review Our Verdict: The two-bay TS-251+ is a class-leading NAS, both in performance and features.

Rated 4 / 5 Stars %displayPrice% %seller% # 9 Seagate Personal Cloud (2-Bay) Read Our Review Our Verdict: This NAS drive is an excellent offering for consumers seeking convenient, flexible data access and lots of mirrored storage space. A simplified design and UI make installation and remote access a snap. (Just don't look too deeply for granular features.) Rated 4 / 5 Stars %displayPrice% %seller% # 10 Intel SSD 750 Series (1.2TB) Read Our Review Our Verdict: This scorching-fast, cutting-edge SSD implements the new NVMe specification and speeds past any other consumer drive we've tested to date.
