Excellent performance, Includes USB 3.0 and USB-C cables, Compact, Android-, Mac-, and Windows-compatible,
While a comparable good per-gigabyte value, the drive itself is expensive
Samsung's Portable SSD T5 drive has a speedy USB-C interface, plenty of reliable storage, and it takes up about as much room in your pocket as a short stack of credit cards...

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 footpri...

Capable of disk transfer speeds faster than the listed 540MB/s with capacities up to 2TB and weighing only 51 grams, the Samsung Portable SSD T5 is without a doubt the most compact and speedy storage medium available today. Tucked away beneath the hard al...
The Samsung Portable SSD T5 is essentially a refresh of last years Samsung Portable SSD T3 series and that is fine. The addition of Samsung's 64-layer V-NAND technology and new controller inside has allowed for higher data transfer speeds on the new T5 se...
