Or indeed those who plan to use a drive with devices that don’t have a 10Gbps USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 2 connector. As for the competition, the Samsung T3 is now far cheaper than the T5 and might be a better choice for those who aren’t too fussed about the performance gain on the T5. With a fast transfer rate and a three-year warranty, the T5 shows that Samsung is at the top of its game when it comes to NAND technology and producing a quality product.Ĭontrolling the entire supply chain means bigger margins. The Samsung T5 is a great all-rounder SSD for those looking to move or carry incredibly large amounts of data.
You get USB Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Type-A cables, both about a foot long, plus a 256-bit AES hardware encryption and software suite for Windows, macOS, and Android. Note that you will achieve much higher numbers if you use a compatible USB Type-C Gen 2 connector, up to 540MBps/515MBps respectively in read/write speeds according to Samsung. It also managed to transfer a 10GB file using Teracopy in 47 seconds, giving it a real-life transfer rate of just over 212MBps. Using a USB Type-C Gen 1 connector (therefore limited to 5Gbps), the T5 drive achieved respectable read/write speeds of 433MBps and 323MBps respectively in CrystalDiskMark, and up to 462Mbps and 323MBps under ATTO. Samsung Portable SSD T5 achieved respectable read/write speeds of 433MBps and 323MBps respectively.
