Samsung 1TB T5 Portable Solid-State Drive (Red)
Worked great for a while, then...
This is the second Samsung SSD drive I have owned and I own several others, from Sandisk, glyph, etc. This one seemed easy to reformat and was working like a champ. I used it to back up my machd under 10.11.16 (el capitan). Then one day, a couple of weeks after purchase, I plugged it in via USB A to my 2015 mac and it wouldn't mount, after about a minute, I would get an error message saying that I had unplugged the drive without ejecting it, whic...

great size.
I was a little surprised that putting a small video over to the SSD drive longer than I expected. As I thought that SSD drives were fast. But then my macbook pro is from 2012 so perhaps that is why.

Thin and Quick
I keep outgrowing USB thumb drives. So went with this as a replacement. I also have the 1TB model for Lightroom files. Both are equally fast and light. Also interfaces to Samsung S9 cellphone directly ( usb c to c short cable).

Fast Fast Fast
Excellent device to move a ton of data from device to device. I get 300-500+ MB transfer speeds (USB3 or USB-C), 25 - 35 Mb on USB2. You only see the transfer speeds on large files since its so fast the smaller transfers are almost instant. The 500GB version has been on ridiculous sale lately. I now have 2. Very happy. As SSD prices keep dropping through the floor (or it seems) I will pick up the 1 or maybe 2 TB version.

small, sleek, fast, reliable
I don't understand how you could go with another SSD, this is the only option in my opinion

Great when size and weight are critical.
While external drives have gotten much smaller over the years, SSD beats them hands down and also has the advantage SSD offers. Great for one to two week field trips I make for daily backup of the day's work. I carry two. Color optional, but I do like blue.

Better than expected
I been using standard SSD in external enclosures for a while. When I saw this product, I was interested as it's a one piece unit, not a drive in an exclosure. When it arrived I was blown away how small it is, half the size of an SSD, just as fast and light as a feather. Even the cable plugs in securely, much better that an external enclosure. Well done Samsung

It's so small
Works great, fast, small, light. It would take 4-6 of these to take up the room of a normal hard drive. Going to Scotland this month, looking forward to not taking the normal hard drive. I always keep photos in min. of 3 places, until I get home. This drive doesn't have to go into a bag. I will carry it on my person, in my neck money pouch, it is that small.

Incredible portable storage solution
The Samsung portable SSD is by far the best portable storage solution I have. The transfer speed is lightning fast, achieving real world speed of over 300 MB/s on USB 3.0, and over 400 MB/s on USB C, far exceeding my expectations. The package comes with both USB A and C cables, making it easy to use on both current and legacy devices. The included security software is also a nice touch, making it effortless to secure your files. For small amoun... Show More

Great SSD Drive
Using it with a new 2018 MacBook Pro. Soon as I got it I reformatted and was ready to go in seconds. Using it as my external drive for Pro Tools & works perfectly.

Much Smaller than other External SSD Drives
I have only had the 500GB version for a few days, but based on how the 250GB version has worked for me, I am happy with this drive. My laptop has a USB-C input, so the drive works well for me, although it also comes with a C to standard USB cable, so you can connect it to a standard USB input as well. Great for backing up photos when on the road, especially when space is at a premium.

Amazing piece of storage gear for DJs!
I use this to store all my music for my DJ gigs and keep a backup of my music files, too. Highly recommended! 500gb option is perfect for those who don't need the full 1TB/

Fantastic
We use the Samsung T5s for local editing and moving projects from one editor to another. It's incredibly fast storage - using these and their 1TB counterpart - we can manage massive video projects and edit between multiple people quickly and efficiently. I would buy these if you need something to edit on externally that's very portable. For long term storage where speed isn't as important, there are cheaper options.

Solid Drive
Great drive, easy to use with a Mac. Appreciate how they provide separate cables to accommodate new USB c connections and regular USB ports. Would definitely purchase

Excellent Purchase
This is my first time using a SSD and I cannot believe how small it is and how light-weight it is and that makes it so portable. Love the speed also.

Great for USB C & USB3 but NOT USB2!
Works on USB3 just fine. Writing is slower than I would like, but it is smaller than a magnetic drive and no moving parts. Will try it on USB C later. Not as useful on USB C on my computer because power pass through is only supported on USB3 port device. BUT IT DOES NOT WORK ON USB 2 AT ALL! This should be prominently advertised in description.

Compact yet big enough in terms of capacity
Another external hard drive in a long list of hard drives I have used. This SSD will be used for portable storage and what's not to like. Small footprint, light weight and the SAMSUNG name. USB 3.1 and the appropriate speed boost. To be honest none of my external drives over the past 5 years or so have given any trouble.

Love the ability to carry files with me and just plug into a computer as needed. Tiny, Fast and so far after a few weeks, I am very pleased
