Why Portable SSD T5 by Samsung Should be Your Storage Solution?
External SSDs are a separate type of portable storage media, which, due to the advantages in speed, durability and volume, are gradually replacing portable HDDs and flash drives. And the leadership in this niche seems to have been captured by Samsung. The company has been able to design a convenient, compact, high-capacity, and reliable portable USB drive that performs as well as internal SATA SSDs.
Samsung EVO Plus is one of the best storage media for photo or video equipment and mobile devices. Today we will talk about the Samsung Portable SSD T5 – an external portable storage medium, which, according to its formal characteristics, also seems to be the leader among all such solutions.
Specifications
In general, external SSDs are not very popular solutions. With the spread of various cloud services, the need for such devices has decreased markedly. However, high-speed Internet is not always at hand, and in this case, the Samsung T5 is able to come to the rescue. The basic idea behind the hardware design of this drive is quite simple: an external SSD should offer roughly the same performance as an internal SSD. T5 was created with an eye to ensuring that users get about the same experience when dealing with it, as they would from working with conventional SATA SSDs.
The Samsung Portable SSD T5 is a USB version of the popular 850 EVO internal hard drive. Therefore, you should not be surprised that the hardware stuffing of the external model consists of a 64-layer fourth-generation TLC 3D V-NAND flash memory, which is controlled by a standard Samsung MGX controller.
In addition to using an additional interface bridge, the Samsung Portable SSD T5 differs from internal drives in another fundamental point – the type of file system used by default. Initially, the external drive is marked under exFAT, and not under the usual NTFS for Windows users. This was done with a certain intent: NTFS is a closed file system that does not have full support in operating systems of the Linux family (for example, in MacOS or Android), therefore, in order to expand T5 compatibility with various devices, the developers relied on a more common alternative. As a result, the Samsung external drive can be used without any problems not only with computers, but also with mobile devices, game consoles, media centers, smart TVs, and so on. However, no one bothers the user, if necessary, to reformat T5 under NTFS.
Appearance and internal arrangement
The design of the Samsung Portable SSD T5 lives up to its intended use. The drive has a fairly small size (slightly more than half of the usual 2.5-inch SATA SSD – 74 × 57.3 × 10.5 mm) and low weight (about 50 g). The considered SSD is made in a flat metal case with rounded edges, allowing you to carry it in your pocket and not damage your clothes. In addition, the case, made of metal, makes the T5 a very reliable solution in mechanical terms – it is almost impossible to break it during transportation or use. And the ability of the driver to endure falls from a two-meter height is even included in the specification.
This is not to say that the Samsung Portable SSD T5 is a gadget necessary for everyone and for everyone. The scope of high-performance external drives in our time, when literally everything around is shrouded in high-speed networks, is quite narrow. However, if you need a standalone device to back up or transfer large amounts of data, then there is probably a no better option than an external Samsung SSD.
