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

I bought this as a means of moving my Lightroom photo library between machines. Problem is that large copies and backups overheats it and then the read/write errors start occurring. Also, long sustained file transfers seem to really bog down which agrees with the other reports of poor performance. This is really unacceptable. Considering I bought a 2TB unit, being unable to trust it for backups and large file transfers renders this pos nearly worthless. This product has certainly taken my opinion of Samsung products down a several notches.

I work as a video Dj and I can store

Used as a backup. Blazing fast on a USB 3 port. Stays cool

Works perfect for macOS and is better than buying a separate enclosure with an SSD.

small, a very tiny SSD drive on hand, its speed is OK for USB-C and USBA cable included.

Great packaging, arrived safe and sound. Drive is fast, looks sleek, came with all the cables you need to connect it to anything, smaller than expected (half the size of a cell phone, very light).

I havent had a problem with it, the price is OK, and based on the reputation of Samsung Magician software for prolonging reliability, all in all 4 stars. But I wish Id bought a T7 instead of a T5. The T5 is less costly but has slower read/write speeds than T7. The T5 is also smaller and lighter than T7, but not by much.

Was fine while it worked. Bought on 1/22/22; stopped working today, 3/10/22.

Hooked the Drive up to my Arlo Base Station and it started capturing video immediately. Great SSD Drive!
