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

Great storage capacity, extremely light weight, and fast data transfer speeds. I used this SSD to backup my SD cards from my camera on a long international trip. I carry a lightweight laptop with me that gas minimal storage. I used to use a lightweight hard drive which crashed after being bounced around on a few trips. The SSD should be less prone to damage with travel, I expect.

This drive is small fast and stays moderately cool during operation. Ive had this for a little less then a week and transferred 500 GB data onto it in one session. So far no concerns. Previously have had two other SSDs; Transcend models one purchased in 2013, the other in 2015. Both were great but this drive is significantly faster, twice capacity, half the size, runs cooler and cost per TB was less then half the cost of the older ones. It is a nice upgrade.

Works flawlessly with my MacBook Pro 15” 2017, with Thunderbolt 3. Extremely fast!

This is my 5th portable SSD from Samsung. Kept a few and gave a couple to family members. Well made, good quality, fast read and write speeds all while in a small & light package. Highly Recommend. Not the cheapest portable SSD, but then, you get what you pay for!

This T5 starts out on near full speeds up around 400MB/s, but then dips down to the 50MB/s a few seconds later. I have read that other people seem to experience this as well. Any suggestions or should I just refund it.

Speedy drive in a tiny package. Awesome!

Works perfectly and it is so small that I can carry it everywhere in my pocket.

So far so good, I got the 1 TB. The size is great

This drive is the best
