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

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.

I bought this to use as external storage for my PS4. The speed and ease of use is incredible. The only thing I've noticed is that since I installed it, there has been erratic behavior from the PS4 controllers. After investigating, I have found that USB 3.0 and later connections can provide electromagnetic interference on 2.4 GHz bands and therefore may be the problem I've been having. So if you're going to use this drive as PS4 external storage, make sure you find a good shielded cable or one that is long enough to place the drive away from the console and the contoller. Other than that little quirk, this drive is purely amazing.

First of all, this is probably the largest capacity drive I've ever purchased that literally fits in the palm of my hand! I bought this drive to use as "adoptable storage" on my Nvidia Shield Android TV. Plugged in the SSD, went into the Storage Settings, set the drive up to be part of system storage, and wah-lah! 1TB to use for both my movies AND games (emulators, android games, steam games whatever I want!) Speed is amazing, and because it is a solid state drive, no spinning! If you need a portable 1TB drive, or a SSD drive as part of Android TV system (definitely recommmend the Nvidia Shield), you will not be disappointed.
