Greetings.
I have problems with write speed on this drive... The read speed is fine with transferspeed between 400-460MB/s. But when writing to the drive its only between 30-50MB/s. Ma old WD elements mechanical drive is faster than this SSD.
When doing a benchmark test in Samsung Magician it says 438MB/s S read & 440MB/s S Write.

A lot of storage in a small package
on January 8, 2024
Posted by: kbrn2002
from Superior
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, this is an impressive option for portable storage. It's amazingly small, fit's easily in the palm of my hand. As you might notice from the uploaded picture this drive is unfortunately a bit of a dust magnet, lol. It doesn't affect performance however. The file transfers are fast. The ability to securely encrypt files is a big bonus, especially if you intend to keep business or financial files stored on this drive. This is a great tool for moving files between devices as well as keeping important files backed up. The only thing that would improve this is to include a USB C to USB A adapter as this only connects via USB C and not all computers have available USB C ports. I'm able to connect this to my desktop, laptop and phone using the USB C so I haven't determined if there would be any decrease in file download/upload speeds using a USB C to A adapter.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon opening the package, you can feel that the built quality of the Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD is really nice, feels nice in hand, too. Further inspect the product, you notice that the material is really nice. It's USB Type-C connection, the upload speed is really fast, you can also plug it into your smartphone as an external storage room or if you need to transfer all the photos or documents from your smartphone to an external drive, this SSD can will be able to do so. And did I mention that this Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD is 2 terabytes?
The size of the Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD is really small so, it's easy to carry around with you.
Overall, I really like the Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD, another superb product by Samsung. If you are in the market looking for external storage SSD, I would recommend this Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD.
