I have to use the great tech service to set up device so it can be used for Windows and Mac at different times . Great tech service . It would be nice to have written directions that came with the unit that clearly explained the setting of the device so that both windows and Mac can use it .

Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight, great size and capacity ; most ssd ‘s not as small

no cons except for improving directions on use

First, the case was not included. That was an extra purchase. Just to be clear it's in the pics only because I highly recommend at least a small "EVA" case since it is light weight and probably wouldn't hold up to being crushed or dropped. The case recommended was perfect. It's a great drive.

If you have a USB C port on your computer this is a must get! Compared to other usb 3.1 drives this is way faster. Note if you plan to use the Apple dongle to transfer files over 500gb it will take about an hour and if you buy a usb3.1 to usb C cable it will take about 35min for over 500gb if you...

How small can an external storage device be? Pretty darn small, especially in the case of Samsung's newly released T5, which is about the size of a stack of credit cards. Indeed, the T5 is now dangerously close in size to far more expensive solid-state storage devices like Kingston's DataTraveler...

Incredibly fast; Highly compact

Expensive

Since the first Samsung Portable SSD, the T1 hit the shelves in 2015 every subsequent launch of the T series has seen the latest evolution of Samsung's TLC V-NAND being used inside them, 48-layer in the T3 and now with the 3rd generation drive, the Portable SSD T5, Samsung's latest 64-layer TLC...

64-layer V-NAND; Compact design; Performance; Capacity

It doesn't come cheap

This was bought to use with an Xbox One X. I have only tested it so far with a digital copy of Forza Horizon 4 but I am stunned by the speed and performance of the Samsung T5. The speed it took to start the game on the internal drive was 1 minute 59 seconds, on an external 4TB HDD was 1 minute 49...

Needing some extra storage for my devices while moving away from traditional hard drives, this is my second T5 SSD, I will probably get another as well they are super compact ultra fast transfer speeds, silent running, very lightweight and very reliable, SSDs were meant to come down in price as the...

I went to do a test transfer using a few dozen small video files and, after starting the transfer, the progress window instantly closed. I thought my transfer failed but the files had been instantly moved from my NVMe to the target drive. I'm beyond impressed with the speed of this drive.

Personal data storage has always been a really interesting category because, while everyone needs storage, there's still a lot of potential customers would rather pass on the category wholesale than deal with some of the caveats and hassle it sometimes entails.

Slim and light design; Ultra-fast storage speeds

More expensive per-GB; Limited color options

The last iteration of this portable SSD, the T3, proved very popular as a slick, quick and sexy means for sneakernetting files around the place, or hosting media. The ‘sexy' may be disputed by some, but to us, the nicely palmable shape was lovely to hold and pocket, and set it apart from the great...
