Pros: Reversible USB-C Drive Connection USB C and A Cables Included USB 3.1 Gen2 SSD Speeds Silent SSD Operation Sturdy Aluminum Construction Compact size Optional password protection software included 3 Year Limited Warranty Cons: exFAT preformatted Software Install Packages Preloaded to Drive Overall Review: The SAMSUNG T5 500GB 2.50″ USB 3.1 V-NAND Portable SSD is very compact with less surface area than a credit card. It has a very sturdy feeling metal construction and the box advertises…

Pros: * Silent operation. It’s an SSD, therefore it makes no noise! It never spins down or up, and it doesn’t need to turn off the disk drive at idle. * USB 3.1 Gen2. Supports the newest USB interface for the fastest speeds. This is going to be very helpful in most cases since you’ll need it to max out the drive’s bandwidth. * Compact size. It’s a little over 2 inches square, about the size of a credit card, but slightly thicker. * Password-protection included. The drive includes a password…

Pros: Size – About as small as you can get for a 500Gig drive. Measures 7/16″ thick, 3.5″ length and 2.25″ wide. Great for use with a surveillance system, as you can hide the drive easily. Construction: Aluminum case, instead of the former model and most SSD’s, which use plastic. Product had no issue with an accidental 3 foot drop on to a hardwood floor. Speed: It would be very hard to find a faster portable SSD. CrystalDisk Mark 5.1.2 Performance on Windows 7 x64: Seq(Q32t1) – Read – 541.6,…

Pros: Likely the fastest external drive you’ll find, it uses Samsung’s very best SATA-derived internals, but connects it with a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface. Plus it includes both a Type-A and a Type-C cable to avoid potential frustration. Cons: Here’s the problem: the USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface is experiencing serious growing pains. It’s not available on that many PCs, and even where it is, the performance just isn’t where it should be for the “10Gbps” spec. That’s 1.25GB/s, and this drive isn’t…

Pros: First impression: it’s COOL, it’s BLUE, it’s SLEEK, and it’s F-A-S-T ! FAST – When connected to the latest USB 3.1 Gen.2 port it’s just as fast as an internal SATA SSD. *Important – Don’t forget to select the “Better performance” option in Windows Device Manager to maximize the speed. See Other Thoughts below for more on this.* **Also note the USB 3.1 vs. USB 3.0 speed comparison in Other Thoughts below.** SLEEK – It’s about the size of a pack of Orbit gum, and it weighs only a little…

Pros: – Solid performance across both USB-3 and USB-C protocols. – Solid, lightweight aluminum housing. (I etched it to be sure it wasn’t a particular plastic polymer that mimics aluminum) – Comes with both USB-3 and USB-C cables – 15″ of cable (not including plugs) – Activity light is a pleasantly non-intrusive, dark blue light next to the plug. I think Samsung has listened to people that have complained about vendors getting trying to get the brightest LED possible into their product which…

Pros: What a neat drive! Starting from the basics, it is: – Fast – Small and light – Metal/durable feeling Each of those basic things are what you want in portable storage, and this ticks all the boxes without any issues. However, it is important that you’re able to take advantage of the full USB 3.1 Gen 2 spec, and if so, you’re basically adding an additional solid state drive to your system (which, technically, I suppose that’s what under the hood of this thing). Built-in security features…

Pros: Looking for a nice on the go storage drive? Look no further. I received this device and was glad to receive it to use it with my new laptop that includes a Thunderbolt port. It comes in a nice solid built frame that can take almost any slip/fall you can throw at it. The read and write speeds on this device are also nice (Around 450-500 MB/s) using the USB 3.1 connection. Having 500GB in such a small form factor is really beneficial to the average consumer who likes to carry stuff their…
