Samsung T5 1TB USB External Solid State Drive (MU-PA1T0B/AM)

Incredible tech. I use this with my Macbook Pro 16 inch and run Windows 10 off of it. Superfast for when I play Microsoft flight simulator. I bought it on sale for $20 off but still expensive, in my opinion. It is much smaller and portable in person—great quality, MADE in KOREA.

If you’re considering buying the Samsung T5 please consider this: you will have access to a level of speed and performance that could have only been achieved by an expensive raid a couple of years ago.... on top of that you now have the reliability of an SSD on your side, something a raid could never guarantee. If you shoot 4K video and care about your time the T5 is a must have tool. It has become quickly one of my favorite investments.

Today's new thin laptops not in the $800+ range highly likely have less than 250 GB, especially those with detachable keyboard or 10" tablet at 64GB max. This SSD is a real + as an external storage that you can carry in your pocket or in your bag by just throw it inside (of course with a sandwich bag at least) ; you need not to constantly being careful with it. It is sturdy with no moveable part inside that you have to worry about damaging it internally that can't be seen. It hook up with either device with 2.0 or 3.0. USB port. I am not a racer, so I don't really care about timing the speed with either 2.0 or 3.0; however, mentally I do notice there is a difference in speed just as you are driving a car with a V8 or V6. In whole, it is a plus if your device has less than 250GB, especially those with only 64 GB while higher models with higher GB would coat as much as $500 difference.

Simply fast and quiet. The best External hard drive I’ve owned. Works very well with my Blackmagic 4K camera.

Reading and writing to this SSD is extremely fast. It is well worth the money spent so that it is less time that I have to wait for. I do a lot of transferring of data from device to device and this has helped save me time. If money is of concern, buy a 500 GB, or just wait a year or so and I'm sure they will come down in price. I like my Samsung products and these meets my expectations. I have a 500 GB SSD (Samsung) and also this one. I'm able to store both in the case that came with the 500 GB SSD and they pack nicely in my computer bag. I like that they are small and light weight and no moving parts. They will outlast any normal external HDD.
