SAMSUNG T5 Portable SSD 1TB - Up to 540MB/s - USB 3.1 External Solid State Drive, Black (MU-PA1T0B/AM)

This drive works great. Allows me to store backups of my computer and take the data with me.

This portable storage unit works great and is fast. I havent tried putting it though the ringer on purpose to see if it will eat a terabyte as fast as possible but as far as moving up to 40 gigs at a time it has been perfect and not gotten hot or anything.

Purchased this SSD for external storage for my PS5; just plug it into the back of PS5 and voila; its ready to use.

Compared to my HHD drive it is very fast. as long as U can use the USB C hook up.

It has the capacity that it says it has. It is easy to use. It is nice and small, so you can take it anywhere. It does not seem to be extremely durable, but I think that it is durable enough for an office/computer setting.

Purchased this hard drive based on some other positive reviews, despite all the poor reviews on transfer speed and overheating. My new Mac is 2020 w/ Big Sur. This SSD wont install and work with Big Sur; at least not without tech support from Samsung. I contacted tech support and was told to try a couple of fixes I had already tried. The tech support agent (via chat because phones were not staffed) was passive-aggressive and super difficult to work with. I was eventually given a ticket number and waited several days; after not hearing from anyone, I just returned the drive.

Got this on a Black Friday deal, a bit too pricy for me at full price. I’ve been using it as an Xbox One S external hard drive to store my games. Load times are much quicker with this, even with the USB 3.0 connection instead of SATA. Cannot comment on long term reliability but so far so good.

I use this unit to back up the server computer in my office each night. The USB-C interface makes it very fast and the small and sturdy form factor make it easy to keep handy.

I like the SSD factor, the size of the unit, the protection built in to it, and many other things. This was a screaming deal during Amazons sale days. I look forward to utilizing the capabilities of this drive and its programs. I will continue this review as I put the SSD to work.

This is the external SSD you want! I have the 1 TB. If they come out with a RAID or other format, Ill buy that too. Fast, stable and about twice the size of a thumb drive. The pictures dont do a very good job of showing how small it really is. Buy the $5 case so you dont lose it, lol...
