It is faster and very small.
Purpose served is a backup drive attached to laptop.
Do not have hard empiricle data, but impression is much faster than the replaced drive.

Great drives to have for anytime storage.

I love these Samsung SSDs. I have multiples of these devices and they are fast and reliable. I use mainly for the storage and transfer of large image files.

T5 fan!

I love the T5 drives because they're hardy, and they work with my Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera. I film in Alaska, and they stand up to the extreme weather conditions.

Big things DO come in small packages

Purchased this SSD exclusively for Time Machine backups on my iMac. After reading countless reviews on various sites, I followed their recommendations. I deleted all of the Samsung software by reformatting the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted). The drive automatically backs up every hour on the hour and has performed flawlessly. The drive is perfect for taking with you because it will fit into any pocket with room to spare. The combination of SSD plus USB 3 make it a speed demon. Small size, lightning fast, and plenty of storage capacity. What more can you ask? Oh yeah, the price. That's great too. I'm looking to purchase another in the future.Read full review...

Spectacular in speed and capacity

I recently bought a 500 GB T5 new, and this one is twice the size and used. The product arrived in original packaging, and performed equally spectacularly. I simply transferred the contents of my main drive to the T5, and now my iMac boots in seconds, and everything else that depends on disk access is sped up many times. Read full review...

1TB used internally!

I've had great luck with previous Samsung external SSD models, so I expect that this one would work wonderfully as well. However, I bought it to disassemble and use its internal mSata card. As best I could search, this external product was less expensive than that internal component by itself. Go figure! But it works like a charm as the second SSD in my Lenovo laptop. Just what I wanted, and 1TB for a smaller price than the 256MB version was in 2017.Read full review...

Blazing fast!

So in love with it. Using it with a Macbook Pro to set up as external / separate drive to allocate Disk Cache and Media Cache folders for configuration of Adobe After Effects an Premiere Pro. The result is that rendering speed for previews and editing has accelerated dramatically. And it's so light and its footprint so small that I can leave it permanently connected to my MBP by attaching it to the laptop's cover using velcro, and voilà! Works like a charm.Read full review...

Small, Fast and Easy to Connect

Kind of surprising how small this is. Connected easily to my Mac and then I formatted it APFS and set it up as my main drive for my documents and media. Works just like the internal SSD drive, but it’s much bigger. File transfers seem very fast.Read full review...
