Samsung's new T5 portable SSD continues the company's trend of small, lightweight, portable solid-state storage -- and it's faster than ever -- but adds one very foundational extra included in the box. Oh, and it comes in blue.

Small, light, easy to use, and the transfer rates are great. Exactly what I was looking for.

If you use a computer, perhaps the most significant development in the past few years has been the rise of solid-state drives aka SSDs. GPUs continue to evolve at a fast pace, but the improvements in the performance of most other PC components has been incremental at best - that's if you don't count...

Great performance; Hardware encryption; Premium design and pocketable form factor; USB Type-C and Type-A cables included

Barebones bundled software

This is a great drive to put all your bootable images on. It's fast and at 250GB has a lot of space. I use it to run Windows2Go on USB. It's a lifesaver. I own two of them.

This is so small and light but so fast. A great external drive and so easy to carry around. Highly recommended.

When we tested the T3 last year, we were wowed by its compact form factor and peppy speeds. Samsung's Portable SSD T5 is a straightforward upgrade over its predecessor. The drive has made sizeable performance gains while retaining the same svelte footprint.

Excellent SSD. Fair and competitive price. Item arrived next day and undamaged. Wil definitely order another one once my storage is getting low. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for an SSD.

Samsung's Portable SSD T5 external drives are a great solution for those wanting performance and capacity in one package with MSRP offering these capacities under 40 cents per GB.

Bought this about a month ago. Great transfer speeds and built like a solid house!

The external Samsung T5 SSDs are very fast, slightly smaller than a credit card and only weigh 51 grams. If you are looking for lightning fast external storage, these are interesting options.
