Samsung software bad; loose connectio

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 22, 2021

USB-C to USB-C connection is not tight and easily pulls away from the Mac USB-C port. A little scotch tape fixes that, still, when you connect, a window pops up saying that you had not disconnected properly the last time. (Thanks!). Now the Samsung software is telling me that the disc is disconnected, despite it's being shown as mounted. Tried to do a fresh download of the Samsung software, but that isn't working either; despite using an uninstaller to get rid of the incumbent, I get a message saying that the old software is still there, and the new one cannot be installed. All I want is a disc without some stupid software 'adding' functionality. Could use as a paperweight, but it may be too light.

T5 is the ultimate one

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on June 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

I purchased a T5 SSD 1TB version after my friends and few YouTube channels recommended it to be the best portable SSD. I ordered it on 13th June at around 1 PM and was promised delivery by 14th June 9PM. As Amazon is most of the times ahead of the estimated delivery, I received the product on 14th June at around 11 AM. Now, coming to the product, I will mention each and every details minutely, so that you get a clear idea whether or not to purchase this one.

Build Quality: When it comes to build quality, Samsung's T5 is the best, I would say. I also have one Sandisk Ultimate SSD 500GB version. This T5 is of aluminium build and offers a sturdy build quality. Samsung claims that, if it is dropped from 6ft height, no data loss would occur. But my suggestion is that, please don't intentionally drop this, and use it carefully after all, it comes at Rs 15k almost. The Sandisk one has a plastic matte finish and that one also has a good build quality, but this T5 comes. with a premium feeling when holding it. So, 5 stars for build quality.

Design: In terms of design, T5 is also a very nice pick. The SSD is much more smaller than a Credit card, lengthwise and in terms of thickness, it is similar to a mobile phone battery. It feels lighter in hand, and can fit in any trouser pocket, or small space easily. The Sandisk one is a little bit longer, lengthwise, and thickness is lesser than T5. Moreover, you get an opening for attaching it to a bag. Again 5 stars to T5 for the design.

Connectivity: When you will connect the T5 to any laptop or MacBook for the first time, you will need to download the Samsung Portable SSD for setting the password. The software to be downloaded is already present in the SSD, you just need to be connected to the internet for the download to complete. In the Sandisk one, I did not find any software to be downloaded, when I connected it to my Mac. In this T5, when I connected the SSD for the first time to my MacBook, I was getting an error message that the software version is not compatible with my MacOS version. As a result, I had to download the updated version from Samsung Website to my Mac for setting the password. After connecting it for the first time to my Windows laptop, the software downloaded without any error. Again a 5 star to T5.

Security: Encryption in T5 is also commendable. Every time, you connect the T5 to your system, you will need to enter the password that you had set at the time of software download. Otherwise, your SSD will only be read-only and you will not be able to write anything. In case, you forget the password, factory reset is only one option, and all your data stored will be lost. I could not find any. such encryption in the Sandisk one. Again 5 stars to T5 for security.

Speed: Speed is an important thing which matters,. when it comes to SSD. I transferred files of total 10.56 GB from my Mac to the T5. The speed was approximately 785 MB/s when connected using USB C. When connected using USB 3.1, I got a speed of 692 MB/s. I did not test for the Sandisk one.Again 5 stars to T5.

Packaging: Packaging also matters when it comes to premium products. The T5 was nicely packed, with one USB c to USB C and one USB A to USB C cable inside the box. Sandisk provided only one USB C to USB C cable with a USB C to USB A adapter. 5 stars to Samsung for this one.

Final Review: All the features of the product are top notch and so it deserves 5 stars. But, quality comes at a price. I believe, the price is a little bit high, the price should be around Rs 10,000- Rs 11,000. When you go for a 2TB variant, you have to pay Rs 30,999, which is huge jump from Rs 15,000.

I believe, you can make out from this review, whether or not, you should purchase this one. Thank you for reading this.

Compact and fast when it works however there is a loose contact

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on October 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

My key challenge with this is when it gets disconnected - I used the given type c to type c cable.
Unfortunately reconnecting it to computer is a huge challenge - I keep connecting and disconnecting, swapping the sides etc finally the computer says it has detected. From there I have to ensure no vibration occurs to disconnect it again. But the product is compact and when connected it works fine. As I said it is the loose contact Im struggling with. Not sure why. I'm buying a new cable (C to C) to see if it will help

Tired of slow read/write speeds ? Buy this tiny storage beast

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on August 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

I was running out of storage and was searching Amazon when I found this on offer. Decided to grab it as the price seemed too good to be true. After trying out almost all brands of external SSD’s which I chose based on the cheaper price tags, this was my first Samsung SSD.

I think Samsung hit it out of the park with this one, has considerably higher Read/Write speeds. Does not heat up like WD’s External SSD. It comes with both USB C to USB C and USB C to USB A cable, so can be used with both regular USB and USB C ports.

Solid build quality and fits easily in the palm of your hands, extremely portable fitting into any pockets.

Faster + Safer + More Reliable than regular HDD. If you can afford the price tag, definitely hit the Buy Now button and enjoy the experience of Uber fast transfer speeds.

ALMOST SATISFIED

MY LONGINGS AND BUYING:
For years I've used HDD for my editing purpose. Buying a SSD was my dream. Thinking about price of 1TB I definitely cannot afford, but Amazon's great Indian Festival with cash back offer and Amazon pay I got it for Rs. 10,110. Indeed a great offer.

HDD AND MY WORK MACHINE:
MacBook Air (early 2015) is my machine for editing. Reading some comments after the purchase regarding it is not working in Mac's put me in trouble.

DELIVERY:
I got the product earlier than the delivery date.
The product was incredible. HDD is so light weight that I scare it is empty inside. Came with the cables and mauel as per mentioned in the product details. Cables are bigger for the HDD.

FIXING ISSUE AND COMPROMISEING:
Then I connected with my Mac Book Air (early 2015), thank God it was detected. I installed the installer for Mac, it asked for my location whether in Europe. I simply force quit the application. Because I read it in the comments that HDD is disappearing after mentioning location is not in Europe. So I couldn't set up a password for it.

PERFORMANCE:
Transfer speed is good in Mac and Android. But not upto promising speed.

Format on connecting everytime

Review for device delivered first (requested replacement)

It's such sad that they're cheating the Indian customers by providing defective products to them. It shows "Issue with Samsung USB Drive, please format to use the USB". Did it once, twice, thrice and then on connecting Everytime to my phone. It gives such a headache to use this piece of waste. Unhappy from amazon and Samsung. Appario retail seems to be a bad seller as its my second time that a costly electronic device functions/behaves like fake and roadside item.

Review 2(replacement)
This is the worst design for a SSD only good if you use in one device. If u try to backup from one mobile phone and use on other then it will ask you to format.
