The new Portable SSD T3 with a metal structure makes the drive very sturdy and less susceptible to damage. The performance is very good, compared with most mechanical, platterbased products sold today.
The price is the obvious problem for most users, and we really hoped this series would see a major cost reduction. Realworld file transfer performance is lower than we expected from a product with superior synthetic performance.
The Samsung Portable SSD T3 offers good looks and high performance in a compact size. Samsung didn't have a problem adding an awesome product tax when we wanted to see a better value for consumers. In time, the price will come down and that will make th...
Much like the original T1, the new Samsung T3 proved itself with internal SATA SSD-like results, sustaining a throughput of 390MB/s when downloading (reading) a single large compressed file and 300MB/s when uploading (writing).The T3 shines when handling...

The Samsung Portable SSD T3 500 GB is slightly larger, weights slightly more and is just as fast as the Samsung Portable SSD T1 500 GB. This means that if you already have a T1 here is no reason to upgrade unless you want to shell out a lot of money for t...

Speedy performance, USB-C port, Mac, Windows PC, and Android compatible, Drop tested to 6 feet, Three-year warranty,
Pricey, USB-C-to-USB-C cable not included
The pricey Samsung Portable SSD T3 is one of the fastest portable drives we've tested. It's an ideal choice if you need lots of speedy storage in a box about the size of a deck of cards...
The Samsung SSD T3 is a superb product, and its full feature set is not often matched, if ever. Even if you restrict the comparison to performance and size (and forget about durability, design, and security), it is well positioned to compete aggressively...

An important point to note here is that each of the first three blue and green areas correspond to 15.6 GB of writes and reads respectively. Throttling, if any, is apparent within the processing of the photos suite itself. It is obvious that the transfer...
Multiples faster than the average USB thumb or hard drive, Roughly on par with the price of internal SSDs, Type C, USB 3.1
Nothing to speak of
Most people aren't used to the kind of USB storage performance the T3 can deliver. Really. So no matter what you do, don't buy a T3 (or a T1). Speed addiction is a scary thing. Seriously, if you buy a T3 and find yourself harboring a sudden urge to bu...
Overall, the T3 is the smallest 2TB portable external SSD on the market today. At $850, however, it's an extremely expensive way to carry around a lot of data -- even if it's got a small footprint. Cost, however, is relative. Most SSDs -- particularly ext...
