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

I bought this external drive to clone an internal drive from an old Macbook Pro (2008). I had hoped I could find a way to use it as a startup disk and boot into an older Mac OS from a new Macbook Pro which in the end was not possible. Instead I use it as the startup disk for the old MBP. In that role it has worked well by having a quicker boot time and the read write speed has made web pages load faster. It also starts Photoshop more quickly and runs faster in that app while also allowing more free storage space than the internal 1TB SATA drive.

Very portable, just a little bigger than a match box. Speed is super fast. Bought this SSD because Samsung means quality.

Yep... it’s a solid ssd!

This external hard drive is really great. Its little but perfect for what I needed it for. I used it to transfer my files from my old laptop to my new laptop.

Works great no problems.

Amazingly small, feels solid and durable. Love it!

Trust worthy SSD thats built well for portability.

Would not perform anywhere near the rated transfer speeds.

would buy again

No external power supply, one connection does it all.
