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

It worked good for backing up my files to it

IS a great SSD for the price, of course there are faster and bigger storage SSDs out there, this is not top of the line, but is a very good one, data transfer speeds are as per spec. It does work pretty well on C type usb ports and with files 10 GB or less data transfer is super quick, files larger it does slow down a bit.

I bought it 2 weeks ago $259+Tax. And now it is $224+ tax. I am returning it as it is giving me some problem may be it is just this unit but overall samsung T5 great reviews.

A little expensive than other brands like usual. I recommend this for its reliability and build quality. Surprisingly, it is small and weighs next to nothing. Much better than portable hard drives.

So first couple of test copies on a high end Mac via USB-C were able to move the data at 220MB per second. Tried mounting on a Linux VM and it went down to the 80s so well use the Mac for now.

liked the size

Its incredible what our tech is capable of these days. I needed a 2tb drive this small. Thanks

It’s great to load in to games faster and a big rip. Don’t use the front usb on the Xbox or your game will skip and lag. Make sure you use usb “SS 1” It’s designed for faster data transfer since it’s the usb connection for the Kinect adapter. The front usb is used for controller and charging stations.

This drive rivals my internal samsung 840 evo. Its really fast. I used it to clone my drive after a clean install of windows 11, so if anything goes awry I can quickly restore the image and be back up and running in no time.

This is very light weight and fast drive. Good for backups of my huge Photos and iTunes libraries.
