  • Best Portable Device Ever!!
It says for it self. Its very very light didn't know anything can be inside of the plastic shell, just thought it was a very expensive hollow plastic shell and it holds true to the speeds given. Tested this on my 2013 DIY desktop and my Surface Pro 3 and the speeds were crazy, I put a copy of Louis CK new show (3.58 GB) and in 10 seconds it was already in the device and it only took 12 seconds to put it on my surface pro 3. Since the video was a large file I also put in 2 smaller files (~500MB) and it took on avg. 12-15 secs on both devices as with smaller files the speed decreases but with usb 3.0 and a ssd. I think it did alright or more than decent since each device has its limitations regardless whether they're brand new or a few years old and I love samsung products for pcs and now for potability this is a must have, like for large file uploads or a portable backup for your computer. Pros: High Speeds -Need to have USB 3.0 or connect to one Nice value for price Short Cable is good if you like the distance Very light weight -The box that it came in is heavier than ~6 of these T1's - Also the box is thicker due to the doc it came with and the safety of the cable Cons: Cable is short so go get a longer one -I suggest StarTech B00KTKTBLU for price keeping and length of cable Since its new when you register it must be on or after Feb. 1 2015 and not before (unless you purchase it sometime this month) -Also no product support for awhile since samsung is probably doing it at the moment Also if you have norton 360 it finds the app as a [SONAR.Heuristic.120] and it won't run properly so I advise if you currently have norton 360 wait until a fix comes in (check the site for the app version change) for the miss hap or disable sonar until the app is installed. ... show more

  • The Samsung SSD T1 Portable 250GB is an excellent product
The Samsung SSD T1 Portable 250GB is an excellent product, not cheap, but not too expensive, I would perhaps have liked to opt for the 500GB, but the cost I would not allow, however I am fully convinced that it was an excellent purchase, since this device is characterized by multiple aspects. The first mobility is designed to be compact and lightweight allows us to carry it to wherever and although some may not like, I do charm out of plastic and making it extremely lightweight (I know, some will say for the price it would be best an aluminum body, like her sister T3, I on the contrary think that plastic requires less care, especially if it falls to the floor or if or if shares space with car keys, and the T1 will not suffer from scratches and chipped) The second is its design is compact, very compact, fits in any pocket, and design made on the surface laser is hypnotic, touch me seems fine, perhaps the only thing he had asked Samsung is a color palette more espacious. Thirdly, connectivity, although this formatted by default in exFAT, works with Windows, MacOS X and Linux, so we will not have connectivity problems, also has the USB 3.0 standard which results in a copy speed excellent , here it I have to complain because the cable which is very small and has later than early positions as incomodad in which we need to put this cable log. Finally something worth noting is its encryption software, a plus (which however will lose support Linux operating system officially unsupported) simply remain encrypted and therefore our files safe voyeurs or worse offenders. For this the Samsung T1 SSD is an excellent buy. ... show more

Capacity: 1 TB
I am using this as a Time Machine for my iMac, and the Samsung T1 Portable USB3.0 External SSD is brilliant! Previously I was using a Thunderbolt Lacie Little Big 2TB external non SSD hard drive, which is really fast; but the fan was really ANNOYING. Yes the Samsung T1 Portable USB3.0 External SSD is about 25% slower than the Lacie, but the Samsung is SILENT. I run Parallels on my computer and thus Time Machine does 68 Gig back ups every hour, and it only takes about 6 or so minutes each time with the T1 Samsung, and totally SILENT. Easy to use. No noise. Fast. Reliable so far. Really small and really good looking. The indicator light that flashes blue, red etc is perfect. Noticeable but discreet. Well done Samsung! Really looking forward to a 2TB External USB SSD drive, but at a better price. ... show more

  • Fast and small, but requires its driver, cable might be faulty
Fast, small, light as a feather. Got my 250 GB for only $100. My only gripe with this is that without the driver, it is risky to use in other computers as some sectors cannot be read or are partially read, and saving to the drive can corrupt a completely different sector. Once I installed the driver to both my desktop and laptop I was good to go. EDIT: Shortly after writing this review, my T1 slowed down to USB 2.0 speeds. The corruptions came back, and they were in full force. One time Windows 10 flat-out told me my T1 malfunctioned. After much frustration, I tried my T1 on a different USB 3.0 cord and was glad to know that it wasn't defective, as it went back to 430 MB/s and the corruptions slowed back down. You might want to buy a USB 3.0 cord with this as the cord that comes with the drive is a little bizarre. This is, however, the first time Samsung is producing portable SSDs, but more or less, this design issue should not be overlooked. ... show more
