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

I love these drives. I use them for all sorts of projects. They’re easy to reformat for Mac or Linux use. They work with iPad Pro (using the new iPadOS). I even have one I run off a Raspberry Pi 4 USB 3 port (It’s about 15x faster than SD card on the Pi.)

Will not let me write true review, Amazon says it is “against their guidelines” do not buy run far away

I just got this product in the mail today from Amazon. It ran me about $250 when all was said and done. That might seem like a lot but I need reliable storage and a drive with moving parts isnt as good as an SSD drive, like I use at work.

Amazingly small form factor - the size of a credit card, basically, but thicker...

Great compact storage, super fast transfer and quite as a mouse.

I keep my video projects/media on these. They are fast enough to work and transfer quickly. Cant wait for larger ones. Sometimes I need more than one for a project.

Excellent. In fact I bought another one as a backup of the first.

As other reviewers have pointed out, this drive is not Mac OsX compatible despite Samsungs claims to the contrary on the packaging. You cannot encrypt the drive without installing the provided driver. Against my better judgement, I tried it. The driver freezes the Mac when you eject the drive, and does the same thing to non-Samsung drives. Uninstallation requires hunting down and deleting kernel extensions. Know what those are? You wont have to find out if you dont buy this drive. Get something better.

Small, quick USB 3.0 . Wish the price was a bit lower
