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

Fast perfect size

Great product, really pleased with the purchase!

You will be amazed at how tiny this is, but it packs an incredible punch. Files open without hesitation. Using it as my primary drive for documents and videos since my desktop internal SSD C drive is only 250 GB. No difference in speed between this and my internal drive. Very light and easy to pack for travel.

Needed a portable ssd drive.

I selected this SSD for our car and has been working great at peak -30°C here in Canada. Its not the fastest SSD but I only need it to be connected to a USB 2.0 device (Joying 10.1 Android head unit). It also comes with a USB-C to USB-C to transfer directly to a mobile device, solid build.

It worked good for backing up my files to it

T5 was manufactured on 1/17/20. Catalina was released last October. Why is Samsung selling T5s with software that does not work. They have had over 6 months to get this right.

Great product, fast and simple to use.

I purchased a T3 unit many years ago when I updated my laptop. The computer had a fairly small SSD drive so I wanted this to add external storage yet be as portable as possible. It certainly did the trick for years until I started to lose memory (which is normal as they age). I considered the T7 but having the additional transfer speed it offered just wasnt worth the money. Plus, some reviews mentioned a heat problem with the T7, which I wanted to avoid. So I opted for this T5. So far, it is running flawlessly. It was recognized immediately by my laptop and I was able to start backing up to it right away. Plus, Ive never noticed any build up of heat even though its being used most of the day and accessed every few minutes. So far, I would highly recommend this item.

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.
