SAMSUNG Portable SSD USB 3.1 Gen.2 1TB External SSD - Single Unit Version MU-PA1T0B/AM

I bought it for my ps5 to store ps4 games and it is working great plays ps4 games straight off drive. I had no problems from the ps5 formatting it. I thought about buying a more expensive one but the drive is fast enough for my needs. and it came with the USB c to USB c and USB a to USB c cables so I didnt have to worry about buying any extra cables right off the bat

I bought this drive as I've used a 500GB drive from the same range before from Samsung. It works perfectly on my Macbook Pro 2017 15". No issues. Also great for Video work.

Small, fast and easy to set up. Just plug it in with the included cable, set your password and you're ready to go! Oh, and it does not overheat like the T7.

I have partioned out the drive so some partions work with my mac for TimeMachine and the other works as a normal drive for mac and PC for transferring files. AND THE SPEED!!! I transferred 44.45GB of movies onto my computer in 1 minute and 20 seconds! And it wrote them onto the drive in 1 minute and 38 seconds.

I love this unit. I recently decided to put all my music on one drive. This drive is fast. It took me just under an hour to transfer 12700+ songs from two drives into the Samsung. The speed is impressive even though I don't have the latest generation USB, just a 3.0. I already had a soft cushion case for it which I bought somewhere in my travels and the hard drive fits like a glove.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this in order to store my RAW photos and it has worked flawlessly. It is very fast, event without the latest USB ports, and I really like the encryption capability. I can not recommend this drive more.

I bought this to use as external storage for my PS4. The speed and ease of use is incredible. The only thing I've noticed is that since I installed it, there has been erratic behavior from the PS4 controllers. After investigating, I have found that USB 3.0 and later connections can provide electromagnetic interference on 2.4 GHz bands and therefore may be the problem I've been having. So if you're going to use this drive as PS4 external storage, make sure you find a good shielded cable or one that is long enough to place the drive away from the console and the contoller. Other than that little quirk, this drive is purely amazing.

Drive is a really nice design - sleek, sturdy & compact. The cable however is the worst I have ever used, whenever the drive or my laptop gets moved slightly the drive instantly disconnects. For a premium portable drive, the fact that it disconnects when its moved, is basically a deal breaker.

I bought the Samsung 1T T5 today, May 6, from Officeworks. Connected to my (old) 2011 MacBook Pro via its USB-C to USB-A port cable. Then used Blackmagic Disk Speed Test software and the unit could only manage an average 28MB/s for Write/Read. The OS X is Sierra; 10.12.6 This unit will be going back to the shop tomorrow, May 7 I cannot recommend the Samsung SSD T5.
