Way better than the T7 in my opinion. Fast reliable and is on the BMPCC 4K/6k approved memory list. The storage capacity on Samsung T5 come in several sizes the 1T is more than enough for recording raw files in full 4K plus more. Side note* They had some left on 44th 5th Ave. I went and every one downstairs gave me excuses about how it’s no longer there, no one can really look for it right now, take the T7. Etc. I came specifically for the T5 which showed in stock on website which I needed last minute for a film gig. Really needed the T5 love it that much. As I was heading upstairs to leave I called Adorama to check stock and was going to be late now to go further downtown to get the T5. Good news, Melissa(braids/ glasses) the young lady upstairs in Best Buy noticed I was annoyed and asked how she could help? Long story short she found the T5 for me in 2 mins or less. Thanks Melissa !!! Saved me a trip/ time and the shoot was great.

Samsung's product designs are always classy and sleek. I was debating whether or not to get this in Red or Rose Gold because both colors "pops." It is amazing to know that this product can hold up to 1TB and it is small and can fit in your pocket. Transferring, opening, downloading, saving files is a breeze and speeds are fast. Would be nice if it came in a small pouch/dust bag to hold the SSD and cord.

Great for needing extra space for games. I play multiple games on this device and can have them all downloaded and play with great load time and games work perfectly :)

Best reviews. Trusted brand name. Great quality. Fast backups. Bought this to make a backup. Plugged it in and it did the rest. Upgraded OS from Yosemite to BigSur (skipped everything in between; what an improvement). A keystroke and all my files and photos were back in place. Clean install. It’s now like a new computer. I didn’t need the one terabyte external drive because I’m only using 100 megabytes and have 1.1 terabytes free space on my internal hard drive; however, still I’m glad I decided on the one terabyte Samsung T5.

Bought this little drive to edit on the go and save footage (videos and pictures),. It's 1TB so it's enough for my needs.

Today's new thin laptops not in the $800+ range highly likely have less than 250 GB, especially those with detachable keyboard or 10" tablet at 64GB max. This SSD is a real + as an external storage that you can carry in your pocket or in your bag by just throw it inside (of course with a sandwich bag at least) ; you need not to constantly being careful with it. It is sturdy with no moveable part inside that you have to worry about damaging it internally that can't be seen. It hook up with either device with 2.0 or 3.0. USB port. I am not a racer, so I don't really care about timing the speed with either 2.0 or 3.0; however, mentally I do notice there is a difference in speed just as you are driving a car with a V8 or V6. In whole, it is a plus if your device has less than 250GB, especially those with only 64 GB while higher models with higher GB would coat as much as $500 difference.

Incredible tech. I use this with my Macbook Pro 16 inch and run Windows 10 off of it. Superfast for when I play Microsoft flight simulator. I bought it on sale for $20 off but still expensive, in my opinion. It is much smaller and portable in person—great quality, MADE in KOREA.

Simply amazing,fast load times and really portable. Only issue is depending on what you use it for it may get a little warm. But then again it is sitting on my Xbox, I bought a mini fan and the problem was solved. It’s very easy to format, it’s basically plug and play.

Super fast and easy to use. I use this product to store my pc games and they load up pretty quick and don’t have any issues. Tried it with both usb type C and usb c to usb 3.1 and can’t tell a difference.

These drives are not the cheapest, but they are blindingly fast, portable, and bus-powered. These are perfect for backups, your steam games library, or just about anything else.

This SSD was well worth it I've gotten one for my Xbox One X and I'm getting one for my PlayStation 4 Pro. I don't know about anyone else but not only did I get better load times. But I am getting better graphics and performance especially with textures as well as some other stuff. Now I'm not saying it's all next gen enhanced but it is definitely different. I noticed this from playing cyberpunk 2077 on internal HHD and switched to playing it on SSD. I did the same thing with Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Definitely seems to unlock a little extra console potential.. when it comes to games get you a good SSD it changes everything. I honestly don't see the need to even get the new generation consoles right now with an SSD an late last gen consoles..

I use the Samsung - T5 1TB External USB Type C Portable Solid State Drive with my Apple Macbook Pro store and work with my photos in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Once I export the images to this drive, and the drive is 90% full, I keep the drive as a backup drive. The fast transfer of my large and numerous files is much appreciated. With the high speed and reliability of the Solid State Drives, and the prices dropping, this is now the preferred storage of my professional photos.

I am a lover of photos and videos and I have found in this Samsung equipment the best to store all the special moments Thank you Samsung

I was looking for some External SSD Hard Drives and found this one. I owned another one (blue but 500GB) and was very pleased with the size and weight! Feels like a feather! Also works good and for video editing it works great.

If you’re considering buying the Samsung T5 please consider this: you will have access to a level of speed and performance that could have only been achieved by an expensive raid a couple of years ago.... on top of that you now have the reliability of an SSD on your side, something a raid could never guarantee. If you shoot 4K video and care about your time the T5 is a must have tool. It has become quickly one of my favorite investments.

Light weight, fast and not too pricey. Loved it so much I purchased a second.

Purchased for backups for a mac mini after looking at all the reviews on wire cutter. Made sure to format it for time machine with Mac OS extended (journaled) and GUID portion map scheme. It works great and is so much faster than my old drive. With my older model, was happy to see that the adapter cord for USB was included. Like the small LED light on it so I know when backups are occurring.

Works great, took a minute to format. My deal, I encrypted on one of my Mac's and tried to use it on another and it came up with only 43MB storage. I un-encrypted on the original Mac and that fixed the issue. Works great, speedy and a value purchase from Best Buy!

Simply fast and quiet. The best External hard drive I’ve owned. Works very well with my Blackmagic 4K camera.

I’m using this for my Xbox One X and find that it significantly improves load times and texture pop-in on Forza Horiza 4 and Call of Duty Cold War. Word of advice: Be cautious when using the back USB port. I found that the back ventilation warms up the USB port. I’ve moved it to the front USB and problem solved. SSD can warm up so standing it up would be ideal for long gaming.
