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

I had a terrible experience. I couldnt get the drive to work nor could i download the software. Customer service was terrible and nasty. Ultimately the agent said the device is not working with Macs at this time, to check back later. It was returned and i went with the G Drive, couldnt be happier.

Originally I thought the hard drive was slow but I figured out that it was figuring out which files to replace, so it works fine.

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.

This drive is so small. If you forget where you put it, good luck finding it. But it is amazing. Samsung arguably makes the most reliable drives, so I know this will last. Super fast transfer speeds. And the best part, its usb c.

Lot’s of video storage so I don’t have to worry about it running out of space and great speed when reviewing footage.

It works

Ive been using an earlier version Samsung SSD daily for several years now. It performs the same as my laptops internal SSD. I do audio and video production using Logic and Final Cut Pro and work directly on the Samsung SSD. I needed a second drive to store completed projects, and so I bought the newer T5. How does the new T5 compare with my old drive? Same performance, twice the storage space, half the cost.

Appears to be a great unit - certainly is compact in size.

Bought this for installing PS4 games on My PS5 so I dont waste what little internal storage it has. Lightning fast and perfect speed for playing PS4 game son the PS5, cheaper than the T7 which is faster than the PS5 can utilize. Perfect external drive for gamers on newer consoles!

good storage for images.
