Very compact and effective.

Both the T5 500GB and 1TB contraptions (as for external/portable) are utterly convincing - see my 1TB results with USB 3.1, haven't even bothered to reformat this one to NTFS. Salivating for a 2TB or even 4TB - once a second mortgage won't be required...

Bought this about a month ago. Great transfer speeds and built like a solid house!

This is so small and light but so fast. A great external drive and so easy to carry around. Highly recommended.

This is a great drive to put all your bootable images on. It's fast and at 250GB has a lot of space. I use it to run Windows2Go on USB. It's a lifesaver. I own two of them.

Excellent SSD. Fair and competitive price. Item arrived next day and undamaged. Wil definitely order another one once my storage is getting low. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for an SSD.

I have to use the great tech service to set up device so it can be used for Windows and Mac at different times . Great tech service . It would be nice to have written directions that came with the unit that clearly explained the setting of the device so that both windows and Mac can use it .

Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight, great size and capacity ; most ssd ‘s not as small

no cons except for improving directions on use

If you use a computer, perhaps the most significant development in the past few years has been the rise of solid-state drives aka SSDs. GPUs continue to evolve at a fast pace, but the improvements in the performance of most other PC components has been incremental at best - that's if you don't count...

Great performance; Hardware encryption; Premium design and pocketable form factor; USB Type-C and Type-A cables included

Barebones bundled software

The T5 is an updated version of their portable line and the first to use Samsung's 64-layer V-NAND technology. By using the most up-to-date advances in storage density and USB protocols, Samsung has produced a high speed, portable SSD that's very compact and versatile.

Personal data storage has always been a really interesting category because, while everyone needs storage, there's still a lot of potential customers would rather pass on the category wholesale than deal with some of the caveats and hassle it sometimes entails.

Slim and light design; Ultra-fast storage speeds

More expensive per-GB; Limited color options
