Samsung Portable SSD T1 review: Portability and performance redefined

The T1 is the tiniest portable drive you can buy, yet it also has the best performance.

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.

Great performance ; Extremely compact and light ; Easy to setup on both PCs and Macs ; Password-protection

Pricey ; Clumsy USB cable ; No ability to reset password personally ; Not using USB 3.1 standard to maximize SSD's capability

On the bright side, prices of flash memory has been falling and the Samsung Portable SSD T1 is actually quite affordable in comparison to the Transcend ESD200 from two years ago. Back in 2013, the the 256GB variant of the Transcend ESD200 would set you...
