Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This is the second T5 I've purchased. The first one I've used to store my movies and shows, Easy plug and play from my computer to my Samsung TV. Using the second to store my music. It's super fast and reliable. SSD is the way to go.

Great Grab & Go Video/Photo Storage

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Speed, Storing videoWe have about 6 or so of these for our 3-man video team in various sizes. They all love them. Our video guys are recording 4K content and they will actually do fast edits off of these drives (more involved edits are done off of our NAS), and love being able to dump the contents of their SD cards on these from a laptop. If you're looking for quality, speed, and portability, these are hard to beat.

Blazing Speed, Scorching Heat
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Speed, Storing videoCons mentioned:HeatThis thing is fast, I mean blazing fast, I backed up 1TB of data in 20-30 minutes. We simultaneously stream 4K video to multiple smart devices from this device, and if any bottle-necking occurs this SSD has nothing to do with it. The downside is, it feels as hot as a kitchen stovetop during read/write processes. I’m not sure a device reaching these high temperatures is sustainable; so that remains to be seen. For the time being, I’m happy with my purchase.

Q: QuestionIs this Samsung item (or any other) able to work with Apple cell phones ?
Asked by DevilDog.
- A:Answer I don't believe so. The port on the drive is USB and there are no USB ports on my iPhone 6. I do think there are purpose made flash drives for iPhones

Q: Questionwhat is this hard drive model's rpm?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer A Solid State Drive does not rotate so there is no RPM to measure. They do have a speed measurement but I am not familiar with the Samsung SST.
