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

Ah I love this thing. I keep backup VMs and operating system images on the T5. Just super fast.

Had it for about 6 months, works fine, its fast

Total pain in the ass to set up with the new 2021 MacBook Pro.

I try and back up my MacBook Pro every week and Ive found over the years that I go through drives and they all fail sooner than Id like. I was looking for a small, fast, large portable, USB SSD drive, and saw that this Samsung got great reviews. They werent wrong! This drive is FAST and meets all of my needs. I highly recommend it. I cant speak to longevity yet, but no problems after 6 months of regular use.

Small, extremely portable. Awesome product!

Small and lots of storage. Works right out of the box!

Had no issues once plugged in and provides a fast, reliable connection.

does the job as expected

We use these like Mags for cinema cameras that shoot video raw, Great quality, speed and reliability, my only wish is that they made 4-6 TB versions!

Seems to work fine. Time will tell
