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

Nice and compact easy to tuck away. Solid read and write speeds for what it is. Makes for an excellent external drive on game consuls exceeding the load speeds of the internal drives

This is a fast external SSD. According to CrystalDiskMark 7.0, its faster in read and write speeds than my Samsung internal 860 EVO SSD. The 860 EVO reads and writes a little faster than 400MB/s. The Samsung T5 external SSD reads at about 560MB/s and writes at about 530MB/s. Note that those speeds will vary on both depending on load. I had no load on either drive when I ran the test.

does the job...

I use this as a back-up drive for my laptop, stuck to the case with 3M Velcro. So far, so good.

I use this external HD for storing my games to conserve pc space.

Requires a special driver to work with MacOS. Why? Other SSDs dont need it. Cant use native OSX encryption with it either. Not recommended for Mac users. Aside from that, fast and small.

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

use as additional storage for MacBook Air with docking station

Runs fast.

Samsung’s T5 is an unbeatable 2TB SSD Drive. Type C connector on my MacBook Pro is an awesome, compact combo. Great performacen for RAW photo storage/retrieval and 4K video playback. Love it
