Attractive design, Very light and slim for users on the go, Optional password protection can keep your data secure, Scorching speeds over USB 3.0 (if UASP support is engaged)

Abstract: When I received the Samsung Electronics Portable SSD T1 last week for review, I was enthusiastic about reviewing it. After all, a one ounce (actually just 26 grams), fast, external SSD with a 500 GB capacity looked to be a remarkable and useful product.Ho...
I'm very impressed with the Samsung T1 SSD. This is a great product that fills a gap that has existed for a long time. It's finally possible to have “big drive” capacity within a volume and weight that is comparable to USB Keys.Obviously, the price is the...
The drive we tested was the lowest capacity T1 Samsung offers. For a 250GB drive, $179.99 is a lot of cash. The 500GB drive is $299.99, and the 1TB version will set you back $599.99. Samsung has all drives available for pre-order, and plans to start shipp...
Great overall performance (well above quoted speeds), Extremely portable; one of the smallest drives in this performance bracket, Solid build quality
Pricey at launch

The Samsung T1 matches its advertised read speed and writes well almost, but as stated it will be slower with small write files, however small file I/O operations in terms of IOPS is for a USB 3.0 unit, really good. Final Pricing: 250GB £136.99 - 180 EUR...
