Samsung Portable SSD T1 ( 250GB)

What's more, unlike other compact storage devices, the T1 supports data encryption. It also works with both Windows and Mac computers, after a brief setup process.

The Samsung Portable SSD T1 is tiny yet super-fast. The drive has up to 1TB of storage space, supports data encryption and works with both Mac and Windows.

The drive is expensive and has only a three-year warranty.

Other than its cost, the Samsung Portable SSD T1 is what any portable drive should be.

It looks very sleek and is a convenient size to carry around

The cable is very annoying, it's very short and rigid. Also when used in a USB 2 port (which it states is compatible) it very often loses connection to the laptop completely. Mine corrupted and has to be repaired by Windows on two occasions after being...
