Outpaces thumb drives and rival SSDs, super light, runs cool, features USB 3.1 TypeC and a metal case versus the T1's TypeA connector and plastic case.
A tad slower than the T1 in some tests yet the 1TB T3 is priced 20% over the T1 at $430 versus $350 (not to mention the 1TB 850 Evo mSATA at $300).
Great transfer speeds, High capacity, Durable, premium design
Didn't quite reach quoted performance
Well designed and very speedy, the Samsung T3 is an excellent portable SSD that would make an ideal companion to the traveling professional or media enthusiast that required quick transfer rates in a small and sturdy package...

Nice Enclosure, Strong Performance, USB Type-C / USB 3.1, Capacity Up To 2GB
Still Not As Fast As Internal SATA SSDs, Price Premium

The fastest USB 3.0 device we have tested to date, Extremely good performance with base Windows 10 drivers, AES-256 encryption saw no impact on performance and was easy to enable and use
Heavier and larger than the T1, Some may prefer the shorter flat cable style of the T1, Possible USB compatibility of older systems may result in reduced speeds, The Samsung Portable USB T3 is largely just a refresh of their previous T1 model. Even though

From a performance perspective not much changed on the Samsung Portable SSD T3 from the original SSD Portable SSD T1 from last year. The predecessor was not slow when it came to transfer speeds, so that shouldn't be an issue. The new Portable SSD T3 is ba...
Slim, durable-feeling shell, Available in capacities to 2TB, Improved write speeds compared to previous-gen T1 model, Future-looking USB Type-C port
High launch pricing makes older model (and a competing SanDisk drive) more appealing

Outstanding performance for an external USBpowered drive, Very small and light, high impact resistance, Easy to use security application
Very expensive compared to traditional external drives, USB 3.1 Gen. 1 support limits raw transfer speed to 5Gb/s, No Type C connector cable included

The Portable SSD T3 is super compact, rugged, fast and can have up to 2TB of storage space. The drive has a USB-C port, allowing it to work with more devices than other portable drives
The T3 is a tad larger and slightly slower than its predecessor, the T1, while costing more. Its three-year warranty is short for a storage device at this price
Compact, rugged, fast and capacious, the Portable SSD T3 is an excellent portable storage device to take on the go...

Once again, Samsung has introduced an industry leading product to the consumer with the T3 Portable SSD, one that quite frankly seems to be void of any competition. Not only does it rule in value, performance and capacity, but also, Samsung truly listened...
Abstract: IDGUntil WD's My Passport SSD showed up on our doorstep, Samsung's T3 USB 3.1 (Gen 1, 5Gbps) portable SSD was the last word in super-svelte, high-capacity storage. Now there's at least a conversation. The My Passport SSD even adds a little spice to the de...
