 I am talking about deteriorating down to 16MB to 20MB per second write speed. And the 2TB drive (bought in May 2021) has never been even half full. ****** Update 17 Mar 2022: Now I am using it on a new Macbook Pro with Thunderbolt 4 ports and cable. It seems to be working MUCH better now than before

 I follow Crucial's advice of leaving the drive powered up connected to the laptop and not being accessed for hours, even all day and overnight all the time. But they only partially recover their rated speeds. I am talking about deteriorating down to 16MB to 20MB per second write speed. And the 2TB drive (bought in May 2021) has never been even half full

Apparently without TRIM support, the built-in "Active Garbage Collection" is wholly inadequate to maintain performance. I have both a 1TB and a 2TB X8. I use both via USB on my 2013 Macbook Pro. The performance starts out great but begins to deteriorate after a couple of months and I cannot get it to fully recover

Not good long term for Macs without TRIM.

 (2) As the available space decreases, so does the writing speed. When it reaches 80% it becomes slower then an old IDE hard drive. This thing has serious design issues written all over it. This is not a cable issue, i tried with the cable provided and other quality ones, and the behaviour is the same, you simply cannot use the whole capacity because as you begin to aproach it the writting speed becomes abismal

Misleading specs

 Until I dropped it and it went belly up. This one won't have that problem since it's solid state, or at least it shouldn't. It loses one star because it doesn't come with any sort of encryption software. I'm using VeraCrypt, which is free, but I would have been nice to have something on the drive

Very speedy and portable, no built-in security

Product easy to setup and install. Cable not too short for my iMac use case. No obvious compatibility issues after reformat to APFS.  However I buy these drives for speed and was disappointed to find that copying my data was taking FOREVER

 Blackmagic speed test shows the answer. Might as well have bought a hard disk!  I understand these drives have a cache to help boost performance but either it’s too small for my audio needs (writing for audio recording) or otherwise this “new model” still has bugs to be worked out.  If you are mainly using the drive for listening to music or watching video, might be ok—but if you do a lot of copying/writing intensive file creation (like audio production) better look elsewhere.

Awful write speeds...

 Definitely not a high-performance external drive that is intended for sustained use. It might be decent for backing up data and moving files around but dont expect to read and write large amounts of data to it for sustained periods of time (more than one hour) otherwise it will overheat and begin to have all sorts of issues.

I was disappointed with the performance of this external device. As soon as it starts to heat up the speeds drop significantly and it starts to give errors and randomly disconnect.

Nice quality and very durable but gets hot and speeds are not impressive

The SAMSUNG T5 Portable SSD has the latest in SAMSUNG V-NAND flash memory technology. Its portable design, blazing fast transfer speeds of up to 540 MB/s, shock resistance, and secure encryption make it the best portable SSD on the market.

TechGearLab

It's hard to gush too much about the Samsung Portable SSD. This lightweight hard drive &#40;1.75 ounces&#41; fits into the palm of your hand, making it an excellent option for travel. It features AES 265-bit encryption with password protection and a metal housing that is drop-resistant up to two meters. Read and write speeds are lightning fast. While the manufacturer claims a speed up to 540 MB/S, we clocked it up to 506 MB/S &#40;Blackmagic Speed Test, MacOS&#41; and 462 MB/S &#40;CrystalMark Test, Windows&#41;. The drag and drop speeds average 237 MB/S when averaging timed tests of moving files 2, 6, 10, and 100 GB in size. We found it was three times faster than other external hard drives and comes in an ultra-packable size &#40;with neat colors&#41; that we love.
It's hard to find many drawbacks to the Samsung Portable SSD. The price is a bit high per GB. As you go up in storage, however, the value improves. Aside from that, this is the SSD we recommend for the folks who can afford it.

99) capacities are blue. It's a lot more subdued than the smaller, gold Adata SE730 External SSD, and a bit more attractive than the relatively plain-looking OWC Envoy Pro EX, which has a greater length, but otherwise similar dimensions. All three of these drives will fit in a pocket more easily than the G-Technology G-Drive Slim SSD, a traditionally sized drive (0.39 by 5

5-inch form factor of their portable hard drive predecessors. Since SSDs don't need to house a spinning platter, they're a whole lot smaller and easier to slip into a small pocket. While our capacious 2-terabyte test drive may be too expensive if you simply want to back up files from your laptop, its speed and capacity are suited to well-heeled digital packrats and graphics professionals.

 The encryption software works on Android tablets and phones, Macs, and Windows PCs. The T5 SSD is exFAT formatted, so it will work with all three operating systems out of the box. Samsung backs the drive with a three-year warranty, which is on par for this class of portable SSDs. Since there are no moving parts, there's not a lot that can go wrong

 With more than twice the capacity, a (much) smaller body, and significantly faster performance than the Sandisk Extreme 900, it's our top pick for portable SSDs. If you don't have that kind of scratch handy, the Oyen Digital MiniPro is a less-expensive alternative, at $299 for 1TB in a much larger package. And if you don't need an SSD, you can get a solid storage deal on a traditional external hard drive.

Samsung Portable SSD T5 Review

1. Windows Defender scanning files being opened/written using a single thread causes a huge bottleneck when dealing with lots of small files on modern SSDs. Multi-theaded scanning would have been immensely helpful, but defender only uses a single thread in these operations (probably multithreaded in some parts, not all) - wow.

 Out of the box it comes formatted as ex-FAT, but reformatting to NTFS made a huge improvement in data transfer speeds. 3. Lastly, the unit comes pre-loaded with an older version of Samsung's Portable SSD software. I'm not sure if it affects how the unit transfers data, but make sure to upgrade it to the latest anyhow (done through the software itself)

 Plugging the unit straight in and transferring the same photos/videos crawled along at ~9'ish MB/s, with dips into the hundreds of KB/s range. 1. An easy and quick fix was Device Manager --> Disk Drives (Samsung T5 SSD) --> Properties --> Policies --> change the "Removal Policy" setting from "Quick Removal" to "Better Performance". This requires you to use the "Safely eject media" option whenever you disconnect or risk damaging the drive

..  -Configuration of your source (PC): As mentioned, the transfer speeds will only be as quick as your weakest link. In my case, I had some changes to make before I achieved the above scenario

 For reference, after tweaking (see below) I ran CrystalDiskMark on my T5 (1 TB version) and got 449 sequential read/write, 270 random IIRC. But in real life practice, transferring 66GB of videos and photos from the Samsung to my internal SSD went at an average rate of 100 MB/s, with spikes up to 170 and lows in the 80's. Transferring to my backup HDD was even slower, averaging in the 50's with low in the teens. This leads me to my next point

EDIT 2/7/2020:  Not worth the price, not even on sale.  Save your money, go with another option.

An external SSD will provide load time improvements (vs using the internal drive), which will be noticeable with some games, but not with others.  For games that rely on a lot of asset streaming, it can improve gameplay by reducing stuttering/stalling and minimizing pop-in.

However, I wouldn't recommend anything less than a 500GB, preferably 1TB or even 2 TB if you can.  Get the biggest you can afford.  Samsung T5 is fine, no need for anything supporting over 500MB/s as even the Series S|X are only USB 3.0

Using ssd for xbox one s

 be sure to power it up every couple of months to prevent the loss of these precious items. I recommend a traditional mechanical HDD for backing up such data, or burning it into high quality optical media, if you have a machine with an optical drive. As with all computer storage devices, they generally will only work on a machine containing the same OS/file handling system of the machine that formatted the drive. Some are interchangeable, but not always

 Just as the the memory sticks in a desktop computer do when you turn off the power.  So if you are going to use yours for a back of important documents, irreplaceable photos, ..

Awesome device, but

 Remember to reformat the device to exPhat if you're using a non-iOS pc to make it compatible. Forgot to mention, but I bought a used version of this drive instead of a new one and it still holds up despite minor external scruffs.
