Speedy performance, USB-C port, Mac, Windows PC, and Android compatible, Drop tested to 6 feet, Three-year warranty,
Pricey, USB-C-to-USB-C cable not included
The pricey Samsung Portable SSD T3 is one of the fastest portable drives we've tested. It's an ideal choice if you need lots of speedy storage in a box about the size of a deck of cards...
The Samsung SSD T3 is a superb product, and its full feature set is not often matched, if ever. Even if you restrict the comparison to performance and size (and forget about durability, design, and security), it is well positioned to compete aggressively...
Small, extremely lightweight, and robust, exFAT file system ensures excellent cross platform compatibility, Excellent performance, which pushes USB3 to its limits, 3 year limited warranty, Reasonably priced, Available in very large storage capacities
The supplied USB connection cable is rather short.

An important point to note here is that each of the first three blue and green areas correspond to 15.6 GB of writes and reads respectively. Throttling, if any, is apparent within the processing of the photos suite itself. It is obvious that the transfer...
Multiples faster than the average USB thumb or hard drive, Roughly on par with the price of internal SSDs, Type C, USB 3.1
Nothing to speak of
Most people aren't used to the kind of USB storage performance the T3 can deliver. Really. So no matter what you do, don't buy a T3 (or a T1). Speed addiction is a scary thing. Seriously, if you buy a T3 and find yourself harboring a sudden urge to bu...
Overall, the T3 is the smallest 2TB portable external SSD on the market today. At $850, however, it's an extremely expensive way to carry around a lot of data -- even if it's got a small footprint. Cost, however, is relative. Most SSDs -- particularly ext...

Outpaces thumb drives and rival SSDs, super light, runs cool, features USB 3.1 TypeC and a metal case versus the T1's TypeA connector and plastic case.
A tad slower than the T1 in some tests yet the 1TB T3 is priced 20% over the T1 at $430 versus $350 (not to mention the 1TB 850 Evo mSATA at $300).
Great transfer speeds, High capacity, Durable, premium design
Didn't quite reach quoted performance
Well designed and very speedy, the Samsung T3 is an excellent portable SSD that would make an ideal companion to the traveling professional or media enthusiast that required quick transfer rates in a small and sturdy package...

Nice Enclosure, Strong Performance, USB Type-C / USB 3.1, Capacity Up To 2GB
Still Not As Fast As Internal SATA SSDs, Price Premium
Samsung Portable SSD T3 -- Find Them At AmazonThe Samsung Portable SSD T3 is an updated and more refined evolution of last year's excellent SSD T1. Just about everything with the SSD T3 is better than its predecessor, from the increased maximum capacity...
The fastest USB 3.0 device we have tested to date, Extremely good performance with base Windows 10 drivers, AES-256 encryption saw no impact on performance and was easy to enable and use
Heavier and larger than the T1, Some may prefer the shorter flat cable style of the T1, Possible USB compatibility of older systems may result in reduced speeds, The Samsung Portable USB T3 is largely just a refresh of their previous T1 model. Even though
