External drives have never been so portable.
This drive combines a 500gb MSATA drive to a usb 3.0 port to make an external drive that is small, and incredibly fast.
Based on Samsung 850 evo, the t1 uses 32-layer TLC V-NAND and uses a full fledged MEX/MGX SSD controller in a very small form factor device
Because it uses a controller you would find on an SSD, the performance you can squeeze out of usb 3.0 is astonishing.
The claim for 450gb read and writes is almost spot on. Crystaldiskmark rates sequential read/writes at just above 400mb/s however, real world data transfers maxed out at around 350mb/s read and 220 writes
transfering all my games/pictures/movies on and off this drive was a breeze.
No trim support
included cable is very small so for people who have desktop pc's without a space to set the drive on when using is kind of a hassle(although the drive is LIGHT and it's weight can easily be held up by the usb connector)
Coming from a mechanical storage external, this drive has made my life easy. It will easily fit most if not all of my games i could want it to on the drive and i can transfer them extraordinarily fast compared to a 7200rpm drive connected via esata making reformatting finally a breeze.
Because this product is a samsung product, samsung makes all components used in the ssd. Their known for reliable and fast drives which i reccomend 10 out of 10 times to my friends when purchasing anything ssd related.
The housing has a nice finish and it's quiet and did i mention small.
SSD prices are continuing to fall and soon drives like these will make the most sense to hold your important data with it's AES encryption and speeds so fast you spend less time waiting and more time doing.
