5.0 out of 5 starsSuper fast - using this as my boot drive in OS X
By Amazon Customer on April 9, 2016
Verified Purchase
I got a great deal on a new Retina iMac 27-inch during an easter sale. But unfortunately it came with the 1TB standard hard drive, which was super slow (100-130MB/second read time). To add an SSD on an iMac is crazy expensive with Apple.

I bought this drive, cloned my OS X internal drive to it (the 512GB model), and my computer now behaves like it has an SSD for a fraction of the price. It supports UASP, which was critical for me. We'll see how it lasts, but right now the difference this made in the computer as a boot drive means it no longer takes 20-seconds to open Lightroom, but instead 4-5 seconds (with a huge library of 90k photos).

According to disk speed test, I see right around 390mb/s write and 425mb/s read over USB 3.0.

5.0 out of 5 starsA great portable storage product.
By Lon J. Seidman TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on March 19, 2016
Verified Purchase
Length: 5:33 Mins
UPDATE -- Oddly enough my T3 is now performing at the same speed as my T1. Whatever performance issues my device had when I first began using it have now disappeared. Perhaps some early wear leveling? I will be updating my review on YouTube to reflect the changes and will upload something here as well.

The Samsung T3's exterior casing is and improvement over the prior version of the product. It' snow metal and much more rugged, it sports a reversible USB type C connector, and it now works out of the box without additional software installation.

This is a great portable storage device that's fast enough for just about any use that might be thrown its way. Great for general video editing (even multicamera 4k edits) and certainly more than adequate for gaming. I use a bunch of these as field editing drives for my YouTube channel and have found them to be every bit as good as desktop class SATA SSD drives.

You will need to buy a USB-C to USB-C cable for connecting to a USB-C PC, however. The cable it comes with is a USB-C to standard USB 3.0 connector.

NOTE: I purchased one of these originally and later received one via the Amazon Vine program.

5.0 out of 5 starsI would love to get my hands on the 2TB model
By AG on March 2, 2016
Size: 1 TB Verified Purchase
I am a huge fan of the previous generation of this drive, the Samsung T1. The qualities I look for in external storage are speed, speed, speed, and reliability/durability.

I've yet to have a Samsung disk fail, and I've owned and used a small handful over the past 3-4 years. For me, use means ran a full system from, whether it be as a root drive or as a host for a partition with a Virtual Machine on it. I've not yet been able to confirm the durability and reliability of the T3, but I would be surprised if it failed any time sooner than their T1 l ine.

Now, for performance. I will let the numbers speak mostly for themselves, but I will say this- the is is the fastest external drive I've ever found or heard of, and it's actually quite faster than many internal SATA SSD drives over 6gbps interfaces.

Here are the no BS benchmarks. I was only able to test the 1 TB model as my budget doesn't allow me to buy one of each of the other sizes. That said, I would love to get my hands on the 2TB model!

For the benchmark, I'm actually using a 64 bit Linux system and the partition I am testing on is using software encryption, the settings being xts-plain64-sha1 with a 256 bit key size. This benchmark focuses on what I tend to care most about- raw, sustained throughput. Many drives will burst to a certain speed via some caching mechanism, then quickly return to 1/10th that speed. The T1 and T3 devices do not have this issue- or at least their non-cache speed is still blazing fast.

Before I get to the numbers, I'd also like to commend Samsung for not setting the device as a CD-ROM type device untilo formatted using their Windows based software. This device was a 1TB disk out of the box, easy to partition however I wanted.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsImpressive
By Geoff on March 7, 2016
Size: 2 TB Verified Purchase
I had my eyes set on a Samsung T1 for a long time, but decided to wait until the next generation drive before buying.

I picked up the 2TB model of this drive, and am seeing (encrypted) speeds of 360 MB/s write, and 450 MB/s read. Reading reviews of the T1, it appears this is slower than the previous model. Not a huge concern of mine considering I would rather opt for the increased storage (2TB).

After initial frustrations with Samsung's required software in order to password protect this drive, I decided to just format it as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) and encrypt it myself. The drive comes pre-formatted as exFat, but I was unable to encrypt this drive with Disk Utility using exFat because of CoreStorage issues. Formatting as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), then encrypting the drive worked flawlessly.

Having never owned the T1, I'm seriously impressed by how tiny the casing is. They fit 2TB of SSD storage into this tiny package... quite amazing.

The included USB-C to USB-A cable allowed me to plug in right away and get going without worrying about compatibility issues if they had used a USB-C - USB-C cable.

The cheaper variants of this drive make it a candidate for anyone looking for fast external storage in a tiny package! I might buy some of the smaller models for different backup reasons.
