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

transfer speeds would oscillate constantly from fast to slow. as a comparison i have a sandisk ssd, and the transfer speed there is stable and fast. playing videos from this device from my desktop would experience stuttering for some reason. not sure why. from my laptop it doesnt have that stuttering problem. called samsung tech support, but didnt really solve anything. i returned this product. i recommend to go with sandisk instead.

Security

**Pros**

Awesome iMac Time Machine backup drive. Small, silent, works perfectly. You do need to install a driver but that was painless.

Fast data transfer

Its an oversized flash drive that does its task of stuffing tons of data into a very tiny package with no nonsense. I highly recommend getting a sleeve like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z428D8K to make the device look better and be a little more drop-resistant.

Works fine

Used for video capture/editing. My macbook only has a 500gb internal SSD, so I bought a 1TB. This drive will record 3 streams of 1080i Quicktime 4:2:2 SpeedHQ video over USB3 from Tricaster. It’s also super portable and I don’t have to worry about it getting knocked off the rack.

All you have to do is plug it into your PCs USB and youve instantly got 1TB of extra space to use.

I got this to augment the onboard drive on my MBP. The USB C connection is what really sold me. I looked at dozens of others and even though they say USB C - they just include a USB 3 to USB 3 adapter so you arent really getting the USB C.
