    I actually bought 3 of these, one for my husband, one for me and one to back up our computers and save all our family pictures etc. These are incredibly tiny and transfers very fast. I've been super impressed

    I got this to use as a backup storage option for my Apple computer. It's small in physical size but offers a lot of storage capacity. I put velcro on it to attach it to my laptop so I can take it with me.

    Love it. It’s small, an SSD, Boots up super fast with added password protection. I don’t save any documents on my computer, they’re all on here. I also purchased a hard case for it on AMZ that fits like a glove.

    This far exceeded by expectations, especially for the price. Much faster than my internal mechanical when it is connected to a USB3 or USB connection. Amazingly small, but I should not be surprised with that.

    Couldn’t believe how small it was when I received it. Works great does what it is supposed to do. Unfortunately I have an older PC and can’t take advantage of all its capabilities.

    The Samsung USB Type C drive is a great product that does exactly what it advertises. Fast write and read speeds coupled with a large storage capacity make this USB plugin a best buy for most laptops.

    With a vast majority of work, business, and even personal activities being digital these days it helps to have a good, solid, dependable external hard drive to use and transfer with. I have some of the other Samsung SSD's. (T3, etc). But the T5 offering the USC-C and USB 3.0 connections makes a that much more enjoyable. I do exntensive photography and the fast transfer rate for culling and processing makes my work-flow more tolerable when dealing with large files.

    Can't complain about this product. Its held up physically to some abuse, and can hold a lot of videos/pictures etc. Another plus is the portability, its as big as a wallet.

    Samsung does it again with a super small, super fast portable SSD, with fast read and write speeds to top other SSD brands out there. The attractive metallic blue finish is a bonus.

    No issues writing or reading files from a Samsung Tab S3 or Galaxy S8. Both devices were able to power the T5 from the devices USB connection. I also use it to do a system mirror of my PC (T5 needs reformatted to a NTFS format for this option) in less than a half hour (300GB of data). Additionally, it can be used to play files on a Roku 3 streaming device. In summary, I got more than what I thought I paid for when I purchased the T5. After reading many reviews I was doubtful it would work with the Android devices and only if supplemental power supply was used to power the SSD. I was pleasantly surprised that there were no issues.
