OK, BUT NOT A TOP PERFORMER

The unlock procedure is a pain. Don't know why its needed. Performs reasonably fast, but could be faster. Once unlocked, easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Portable SSD

Great portable SSD for the money. I am able to transfer all my music and video files from my phone to the drive and back. Basically gives me 250GB of storage for the phone. Lightening fast when used with a USB 3.0 connection but I am still getting great speeds with the slower USB 2.0.
It is so small and light that I forget it is in my pocket.

Small high-capacity high-performance SSD

Expertise:Intermediate
So far I have nothing but a good thing to say on this 1TB Samsung SSD. Excellent performance as demonstrated by its high transfer rate and stylish. It's very small too, so it's easy to carry around. As I am used to mechanical hard drive, I cannot believe how light this SSD is. The only drawback with the high-capacity one like this one at the moment is the price, which is at least 5 times more expensive than the regular hard drive, but I believe the price will go down soon as the market is supplied with more SSDs.
Pros: Lightweight, great performance
Cons: expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice one
on August 28, 2015

Expertise:Expert
Wow this drive is amazing. So small and light yet faster than any of my other drives. Its nicley designed, looks sexy if that is possible for a hard drive. The software encryption is nice to have. My only note would be the software encryption takes time to launch and is a little clunky, but these are minor notes overall.
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Well designed product

I travel a lot for work and needed to purchase a replacement portable hard-drive that is is more durable against vibrations and drops.
After months of research, I narrowed it down to the Samsung T1 1TB due to the performance, portability, light weight and durability.
I can see drastic increase in performance when transferring large files across my systems in comparison to typical "high-end" 2.5inch usb hard-drives. I love that my Samsung T1 is so small, light and portable. Another feature I truly appreciate is the built in encryption and no bloat-ware!
Great job Samsung for continuing to design, develop and manufacture such great cutting edge technology!
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, portable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tiny, but fast
on March 23, 2015

Pro's
Cutest little drive I ever layed my eyes on (and I'm a guy).
Very fast, Puts all my flash drives to shame, even on USB 2.0 It hits and holds 34MB/s when my fastest flash drive does 28MB/s.
On USB 3.0 it's a true champion, hitting even its rated speed a few times.
Case seems flexible enough to avoid breakage, yet Rigid enough to protect it's internals from a pretty descent impact.
Cable supplied is tiny, but so is the drive, who wants a 4 foot cable for a 2 1/4" by 1 1/2" by 3/16" drive????
Con's
Drivers supplied right on the drive, but it must be formatted before using correctly on windoze, so save the files on your PC and copy them back. THESE FILES ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FROM SAMSUNG. So if you want the software on other PC's you'd be out of luck if you don't.
It's so small I feel like I might loose it out of my pocket when I sit down, not really a con, but still.
Device got VERY warm when transferring 220GB of Video files over USB 3.0.
Other Thoughts
With it's flexible but rigid design it seems to be able to stand the test of time.
It's speed is un-equaled by anything I have tested before.
Pros: Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, small
Cons: available software for use on other pc's
I would recommend this to a friend!
