SAMSUNG T5 Portable SSD 1TB - Up to 540MB/s - USB 3.1 External Solid State Drive, Black (MU-PA1T0B/AM)

Great backup drive for everyday needs - for work and home

Works great! Easy to use!

I use it as an external HD for my MacBook air.

I love the size of the drive and the speed. All around the drive is great except for the fact that overtime it will not connect. It is very finicky at the connect point between the cord and the drive. This is the second drive we have had with the same problem. We thought the first one was just a defect but that is not the case. I would recommend another drive that has a better connection because if not you are dealing with a ticking time bomb.

What’s not to like. Great little storage drive!

I use a macbook for work. I used Apple Time Machine to back up until they came out with Catalina sofware. Now, that system doesnt work. So I got this. I just leave it on my desk and plug it in every morning at work. It automatically backs up. Its noisless and tiny. I will probably never fill it up. It powers off the USB so doesnt take up an AC plug...no wall warts. Nice product!

Works with MacBook 2017 16GB RAM.

would buy again

Im using this as a bootable clone drive for a Mac. Because its a solid state drive, its better to use APFS formatting. which will result in faster boot times and read speeds. But the option to use this isnt obvious in Disk Utility. To format a new T5 to APFS, you need to click on view, select show all devices and then select the lowed level (the disk itself, not the volume) and select erase. Select GUID in the bottom pull down menu box, which will then add APFS to the format options pulldown menu above.

This is very fast, and it is delivered based on what it is described here.
