Bought this ssd as a workhorse. I do video filming, and I edit videos where necessary. Since I have a laptop in the car, at work and at home, I try to keep the premiere projects and distributions in one place. So the idea came to buy a capacious ssd and record everything there. The most important thing is the speed of work. I did not measure it programmatically, but a 10 GB file is uploaded in ~ 22 seconds. As far as I'm concerned, it's not bad. Projects open without problems, Prime does not tupit working directly from the disk. The download is fast too. In fact, this is a normal fast ssd. The case, of course, is a little frail as for me, although they write that it is protected, but some kind of very light or something, does not inspire confidence in general. They put 2 cables in the kit, mom-dad type C, and dad-dad type C. I am satisfied with the disk, it takes up a minimum of space, it works quickly, it does its job at 5. I took it for 2 TB, black. Fast writing and reading. There are no problems with connecting to the laptop. Very compact, no bigger than my smartphone. They write that it is shockproof, but I have not tested it yet. Probably the price, but it's quality, so it's subjective. use Samsung MU-PA1T0B/WW few months |
Gorgeous model I have been using it as an external drive for my iMac for almost 3 years. Works flawlessly Nothing  Sergey: use Samsung MU-PA250B/WW more than year |
Just a wonderful SSD, large capacity, shock resistance. I've had it fall off the table several times and it's fine. A good option for a laptop or just on the go, there is a cable for USB-S, so you can even connect it to your phone. Impact resistance and compactness, fell from the table several times (about 120cm high). Very easy to carry. Price, of course, when we bought this SSD there was no M.2 SSD yet, but now for this price you can get a good M.2 SSD from Samsung with a speed of more than 3000 MB/sec.

Tiny, fast, shockproof
The new T5 belongs to the third generation of external SSDs from Samsung. If the first was sealed in a plastic case and was equipped with a micro USB 3.0 connector, then the updated version boasts a metal case, slightly increased speeds and a full-fledged USB-C port. And the dimensions have slightly decreased: it is smaller than a regular credit card and weighs a little more than 50 grams. The workmanship is very high, the device looks monolithic. The metal housing provides protection against accidental bumps and falls from two metres.
5 times faster than conventional hard drive
At the same time, the speed is 5 times faster than a conventional external HDD. When connected via a USB-C port, it delivers read speeds of over 533MB/s and write speeds of 496MB/s, which is broadly in line with the manufacturer's claims. These are pretty good numbers, but in all honesty, almost all external SSDs now work in this range, so it’s rather difficult to praise or scold them for their speed.
Tricks up your sleeve
Among the additional features, we note hardware AES 256-bit encryption to protect data on the disk from prying eyes, a simple utility for setting a password when opening the drive, and the ability to connect to a smartphone via an OTG cable. If the smartphone supports an OTG connection, then the built-in 500 GB can be used to back up photos, save the media library on the road, etc. The built-in volume should be enough for games.
