I recently upgraded to the SAMSUNG T5 Portable SSD 1TB, and I must say, it’s been a game-changer for my workflow. The drive’s compact size makes it highly portable, and the 1TB storage capacity provides ample space to store all of my files and projects. The transfer speed of up to 540MB/s is lightning-fast, and it has significantly reduced my file transfer times, which has saved me a lot of time. I appreciate that the drive is compatible with both PC and Mac, and it’s incredibly easy to set up and use. Overall, I highly recommend the SAMSUNG T5 Portable SSD 1TB to anyone looking for a reliable, fast, and highly portable external solid-state drive for their data storage needs.

Ultralight weight, very tiny and amazing transferring speed

This is an impressive little device. I am impressed with the look, and the apparent durability of the drive. In classic Samsung style, the drive is a good looking accessory especially for my Dell Precision 5530. I believe the drive will be very durable it is made of what feels like aluminum and is sealed on the ends. I would not hesitate to put this in my pocket for quick and easy transport.
The big question for me was about the speed. I have owned many external drives that claim to be fast, but I still can’t run my VMs directly from the drive. I tested both the USB C and the USB A cables to know which I would have to use. With both connectors the T5 really delivers. I can’t tell a difference between this drive and an internal SATA SSD installed directly on the SATA bus. I have included some screenshots of the benchmarks I did on each connection type. The external drive basically saturates the SATA protocol bandwidth, AWESOME! On the Thunderbolt 3 Type C port, I was seeing full SATA capability on the large reads and writes. However, when it is hooked to the USB 3.1 type A connector (the rectangle one) it seems as if the USB overhead slows down the large sequential operations by 10% or so . However, the USB 3.1 A out performed the thunderbolt 3 connection when it came to 4k and 4k QD performance. For me the 4k performance is most important as that is what the OS does constantly. The 10% or so drop in performance on the large sequential files in reality will not materially affect the performance of the VMs.
I officially brand these drives as AWESOME and they will be my new go to drive when I need high performance low cost external storage.

Bottom line: Works wonderfully and harmoniously across computers.
This drive comes with a hardware-based secure log-in system, and when you plug it in you’ll see a choice of emulator/”activator” interfaces for login to PC or Mac or device. I ordinarily use it with a Macbook or desktop Mac, but I’ve guest-visited PC’s also, and what happens is: you plug it in and will see the initial choice of platform log-in apps. Choose your OS, click, and enter your password – whatever password you set up initially from your own computer/device, as once you do that your password is hard-wired into the drive, and you can access it from anywhere – if you have the password.
Setting up hardware-based encryption/security is optional, by the way. But really simple, and it really works easily across my own computers and ones I’ve guest-logged into while traveling. Same routine. Bring up system-specific log-in screen, enter password, you’re in. Password required every time it’s re-installed. Great basic mobile security.
For Mac there’s a known strangeness, despite full compatibility. When first plugging it in or upon ejecting it, you may see an upper-right-hand corner pop-up saying disk was improperly ejected (last time). Maybe on Windows “safely eject” avoids that, but on Mac you’ll likely see it. Not to worry, as long as you’re not transferring data while unplugging. (In Mac I “eject” and it looks normal but still will get a pop-up nag about safely ejecting.)
What else can I say? I know there’s a few reputable makers of 250-500GB SSD portable drives worthy of consideration. (As a scientist, believe me, I read all the reviews and looked at “data”, but as a typical computer user I chose based on things like form factor, price, and past experience).
So this is my 3rd Samsung T (2 “3”s and one T-5 now). I’ve had no problem with any of them (thus my collection has expanded). They are fast, reliable, and practical between the various interfaces, portable security protection, and choice of cable/interface. I’m a fan.

Great portable SSD for storing media! Fast read and write transfer speeds!

There is no better device for fast, portable storage out there short of the Thunderbolt 3 version (that’s also significantly pricier). I’ve been using it for close to a year now and it handles everything I throw at it like a champ with sustained read and write speeds of around 500 MB/s (slower but still responsive with random access).
It’s also super small and light but still extremely solid with a metal casing and quality cables rated to USB 3.2 Gen 2 (formerly USB 3.1 Gen 2).
The supplied software is useless unless if you want to make use of the included encryption which would limit portability in a significant way. I would advise you use third party software if that’s something you’re worried about or your OS’s tools if that’s something you have access to (FileVault and Bitlocker).
Lookout for clearances on this product if you’re not in a hurry as you’ll be saving quite a lot of money!

This particular drive is being used as a boot drive on an older system – you would think using a USB3 connection to a USB-C SSD wouldn’t be fast enough to get the job done but it’s excellent performance, speed and quickness makes for an excellent boot drive for legacy systems. I even bought one for the wife’s computer to help that one along. A great value for the price. It is so small it will literally fit in your shirt pocket and contains velcro so you could velcro the unit to the back of a PC tower or display. Verified works fine on both Windows and Mac systems if formatted for such things. Next time I’d get the larger version to have a larger overall boot drive on the system but this will be a great “carry around emergency boot drive” for any system.
