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

I bought this in March and it worked wonderfully for about 2 months. Then one day last May when I logged in, there was a pop up message saying that I needed to set up my external drive. The entire drive is completed erased and reset to manufacturer default. Sam sung tech supported confirmed that it is a manufacturer defect and agreed to replace the product if I complete their warranty form. Besides the product, I was advised to reach out to the data recovery specialist to hopefully restore 26 years of pictures. So frustrated for the hassle I have to go through just for this manufacturer defect, not knowing if it is even possible to recover those pictures. On the bright side though, the tech was professional and courteous.

On board encryption, portable, very handy. We bought more after testing one.

The design is premium, and the performance is good. Only lack off is international warranty.

So far so good - when running. Very small and lightweight. Easy to install. But stops running every now and then, when the computer goes to sleep - it does not always come back online when the computer wakes up. It restarts when I access Windows Security - Backup manually, or if I reboot the computer. Because it doesnt always automatically come back on when the computer wakes up from sleep, this makes it less than a 5 star drive backup drive.

light and quiet

Es justo lo que buscaba, rápido, pequeño y de buena capacidad.

Works well and as advertised.

I plugged this into my Mac, formatted it to fat32, turned on time machine and now have a full backup of my Mac. Dont know why some Mac users are having an issue. Worked flawlessly for me. Maybe they didnt format it.

Ive tried far too many external drives and most were crap and were returned. This was totally different - has high storage capacity, tiny size, ultra fast transfer speeds - just what Ive wanted for years

great fast enough
