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

This is my four Samsung T5 SSD (1TB), and I use them to write my code on them and and run it. I have to say that the Samsung T5 SSD is very fast and it does not heat up that much. I have a M1 MacBookPro with 512GB ssd so the 1TB ssd helps a lot.

It was a gift for my girlfriend, she loved it because she needed a new one to backup her files and work, she love that it is so small and light and easy to carry, it is very fast too.

I buy Samsung everything (as I type this on my S10+ while watching my Samsung 65) but this drive has been a serious disappointment. I have Samsung internal SATA SSD and NVMe SSD that have worked great for a few years now. This drive constantly disconnects from USB and gives a dim blue light. I have the same issue on my Surface Book 2 and my PC. Ive tried everything I can think of... different cables, ports, disabled all USB power suspend in OS, disabled security in Samsung app. I knew I shouldve bought an internal drive and a dock instead. Hope I can keep it connected long enough to try to recover my data and return.

With the issues connected with lost data I needed something I could depend on. This is a great little unit - and when I say little, I mean little. Easy to pack in to take with me and data retrieval or saving is very fast. Im quite happy with this unit.

Only thing is space gets used up quick for my PS4 games. Much better than my 500GB hard drive though.

It’s very small, like half a deck of cards in thickness. Fits in the palm of my hand.

Love it! Will definitely buy more, when this one will be full. Also it’s so sleek and tiny. Very happy with it!

Im using this for Time Machine backups on my mac. Its plugged into a USB Hub and just sits on my desk. Its very small, lightweight, and doesnt make any noise. Set and forget. I recommend it, as its a product that serves a purpose and doesnt get in the way.

All perfect, fast delivery. Strongly recommend

Its a SSD so it moves data faster than a HDD.
