This drive has is all, size, storage, simplicity and encryption in a bullet-proof package. Samsung really nailed it on this one. I was a little weary about storing all of my photos and video from my entire vacation on just one drive but this thing held up and function as expected problem-free.

This drive will save you tons of grief on the road as it is everything you want tiny, huge, secure and blazing fast; I got this drive to store photos and video on my upcoming month long vacation and boy did it not disappoint; The build quality is excellent - full metal housing, check.

The price does sting a bit at $300+ for 1TB of USB drive but the functionality and reliability are worth it; The drive does take a touch longer to become available on newly connected devices compared to devices you normally connect to (10-15s longer)

It died after one use, so I don't have much of an experience to share. I was definitely not satisfied, but assumed it was an outlier situation and moved on.

Love this little drive. So small you can throw it in your pocket and take it anywhere! Speed is great and my xbox flies with it connected.

Really small for a 1TB drive Connected without any issues to my XBOX One Games like Battlefield 1 are so fast to load now

None Too small; you could lose it :-

Works as it should, as expected. It is very fast. The fastest external hard drive I have ever had. Although a bit pricey, in the years to come the price will fall or the storage capacity will simply increase. I use it to transfer data between my iMac and my MacBook Pro.

Nice Product.

I have had problems with 3 IOMEGA external hard drives. I use this one without encryption. It works and is fast. I wish the Quick Start Guide had larger print.

I bought it 3 weeks ago and it is a great product.

Drive is really fast - Great for backing up large numbers of files. Build quality is superb, with a very solid feel to the drive>cable connection. As others have said, at this price I would expect a case and have therefore docked 1 star.

Conclusion The Samsung Portable SSD T3 is an excellent choice if you need to carry or copy a library's worth of data in a device that will fit in your front pants pocket. It is certainly pricey, but if you're a power user, you will want nothing less, especially if you need to work on 4K or HD video...
