Samsung has introduced a new ultra-fast solid-state-drive called the Samsung Portable SSD T5. This model boasts up to a 2TB capacity alongside transfer speeds that reach up to 540MB/s, making it suitable for editing raw 4K footage and other large files. This drive is notable for its use of Samsung`s 64-layer V-NAND technology, the driving force behind the rapid transfer speeds of this lightweight, pocketable model.
Compared to the company`s own testing with an external 500GB HDD, Samsung says its T5 SSD model is nearly 5 times faster, this despite measuring in at only 3 x 2.3 x 0.4-inches / 74 x 57.3 x 10.5mm. The South Korean company has also boosted the SSD`s durability by using a shock-resistant internal frame, one capable of handling drops from heights as high as 6.6ft / 2m.
The drive features USB-C, and is shipped with two cables, one featuring a USB-C connector and another featuring a USB-A connector.
The T5 drive is offered in two finishes: Alluring Blue, which comes in 250GB and 500GB capacities, and Deep Black, which comes in 1TB and 2TB capacities. All four models feature AES 256-bit hardware encryption and are joined by a companion app that makes them compatible with Android mobile devices.
The models are available as of today starting at $130 USD.
