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.

Not 1 Terabyte

Creating top-tier content can put a strain on your device, your camera or your system. From the brand trusted by professional photographers worldwide, the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD provides powerful solid state performance featuring 2000MB/s read and 2000MB/s write speeds in a rugged storage solution that’s reliable for your toughest jobs.

tom's Hardware

Built for the professional market and priced as such, SanDisk’s Extreme Pro v2 has a durable, secure design. When paired with the latest systems that fully support its USB 20 Gbps connection, it delivers very fast file transfer speeds that rival the Thunderbolt 3-based competition. The Extreme Pro v2 houses WD’s SN730E, a PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD, and an ASMedia ASM2364 USB Gen 2x2 bridge chip. All of this is protected by a rigid aluminum chassis that’s covered in an impact-absorbing silicone. The drive is even IP55 water and dust-resistant. Not only is it fast and well-designed, but it is also secure, coming with AES 256-bit full-disk encryption and password protection for those who need to keep their data locked away from prying eyes. If you like the idea of a 20 Gbps SSD but don't quite have the budget for SanDisk's Pro v2 drive, Kingston's XS2000 isn't quite as fast, especially under sustained workloads. But it sells for about $50 less at the 1TB capacity. 

Wirecutter

The second version of the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD has the same speed, features, and short cable of our pick, the WD My Passport SSD. The SanDisk is more rugged, but it’s also a bit more expensive.

As a high-performance SSD geared to videographers and other multimedia creators, the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2 can transfer 4K and even 8K video files in a flash&mdash;provided that your computer is one of the few cutting-edge systems that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and its lightning-quick read and write speeds. You'll also need a similarly speedy source or destination drive on the system's inside. 

There is a catch, though: Very few computers natively support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, so be prepared to spring for a motherboard or expansion card that supports this standard, as we did with our SSD testbed, adding a $39 expansion card from Orico(Opens in a new window).

The Extreme Pro V2 comes with both Windows and macOS versions of SanDisk Security software. It lets you set a password and provide 256-bit AES hardware encryption, which is widely regarded as the gold standard for consumer-drive data encryption. 

k.a. the old USB 3.0), typically good enough a ceiling for older external SSDs with SATA-based silicon, caps read and write speeds for external SSDs at about 550MBps and 500MBps respectively

SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2 Review

I've run this hard drive through the wringer with loads of speed tests, file transfers (small and large files). Read on for some in-depth rabbit-hole findings  TLDR Overall a solid drive. But if you have a need for speed, go for a Thunderbolt 3 SSD instead. Otherwise just stick with the Extreme Portable or Samsung T7 (or any USB 3

 I'm giving this item 3 stars because, despite being more than fast enough, I think I got a faulty unit. It struggles with sustained loads and sometimes renders Final Cut Pro frozen after prolonged periods of editing. I've never had this happen on any SSDs before, much less SanDisk ones. I made sure it wasn't my computer or software wigging out

  CONCLUSION It's a well-built, fast drive. But your host computer must support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or (dual-lane) USB 4.0 to run at that 2000MB/s speed

2 Gen 2x2 or (dual-lane) USB 4.0 to run at that 2000MB/s speed. Unless you have a specific Gen 2x2 USB port - which you can find boards for with custom-built PCs - it's not on most (if any) mainstream computers, then this drive will not hit its advertised speed.  I'd recommend getting a full-fledged Thunderbolt 4/3 SSD instead, since TB is a more common standard, if you want insane speeds
