Welcome to Myce's review of the Samsung T5 Portable SSD (hereafter referred to as the T5). The Samsung T5 is a highly portable, high speed storage device, which could be used for carrying large amounts of data from one location to another; simply transfer the data you want to take to the new...

Very compact and effective.

Capable of disk transfer speeds faster than the listed 540MB/s with capacities up to 2TB and weighing only 51 grams, the Samsung Portable SSD T5 is without a doubt the most compact and speedy storage medium available today.

Amazingly cheap for what it can store. I would like more information about its write to speed in the spec sheets but it seems all these types of device have vague specs when it comes to write speed. I think it's because it depends on your computer

This little drive is amazing! I decided to try it because I needed a capacity of flash storage beyond 256 GB. They do make thumb drives that are larger than 256 GB, but they're all trash, even the one made by quality company PNY. This thing is tiny and fast.

Great little drive, smaller than i thought. Comes with cables to connect straight away to your computer. Easy set up. Store my games on this drive and so much quicker than my hard drive

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 for my xbox-x to give me more space. Now have double the space and quicker speeds after I transferred my larger games to it. Just plug into xbox and it will take about 2 mins to have it set up and ready to use. Quick transfer and also quicker load times on games.

Le T5 est sans doute l’un des modèles de SSD les plus compacts et légers qui soient. Il présente en effet une dimension de 74 x 47/3 x 10.5 pour un poids de 51 grammes. C’est donc le compagnon idéal de ceux dont le travail nécessite des déplacements fréquents.

Très bons débits en lecture et en écriture; Léger et compact; Résistance à toute épreuve

Pas compatible avec Time Machine

The T5 isn’t cheap, but it delivers on the critical performance that a portable SSDs are bought to ensure. Using one with a laptop that has a hard drive is largely pointless, as the full speed advantages can only be achieved if used in combination with an internal SSD.
