What customers say about "Key Specs"
Samsung T5 External SSD — USB 3.1 Type-C
- The transfer speed is also faster than I expected. I will by upgrading to 1TB (or higher) strictly for video soon.
- While I'm not seeing the quoted average "up to" speeds of 500+ MB/s, they are still impressive.
- I really love this portable speed demon. It's built very well and is the perfect size for putting in your pocket or laptop bag.
- The transfer speeds between the internal SSD and the T5 are just quick.
- Extremely slow on USB 3.0. Writing a 20GB file only does so at 24MB per second.
SanDisk Extreme 900 Portable SSD
- They are quiet, cool (as opposed to running hot), and an easy size to handle. There is a rubber strip around the edge to help protect it if it falls.
- Wow - just wow. Was debating this forever based on cost but I pulled the trigger. Really well built drive that's gorgeous.
- Super fast. Very light, and you can tell its tough. Definitely my best external yet.
- Super fast, aesthetically pleasing, zero compatibility issues with 3 different PCs unlike the Samsung models.
- So fast, never has any troubles, light, you can use usb A or usb C (both cables included), I love it. Truly, get either one and you will be happy.
- I also wish that is had rubber feet on one side as the skin it slick so I have to be careful where I place them.

What customers say about "Features"
Samsung T5 External SSD — USB 3.1 Type-C
- Rugged metal case means I don't have to worry about dropping it.
- It is encrypted which is another very valuable feature. It is a great failsafe!
- The samsung software for Mac, providing password encryption and other features, does NOT work with Mac Sierra or Mojave OS.
- I should also mention, it has a password function to allow the user to put in a password. The is a nice feature.
- Adding a slot that would ingest SD cards dynamically like the Gnar box would be a cool feature. Get the biggest size you will use it.
SanDisk Extreme 900 Portable SSD
- It's just really fast. Love the fact that it's USB 3.1 C gen 2 - it works really well with my new Dell XPS 9550.
- Exceeded my expectations. I am a photographer and have tens of thousands of photos that I edit and store on an external drive. I was blown away at the speed and performance of this drive for my photos.
- This device transfers huge files at incredible speeds. This works faster than a thunderbolt easily. It is well made physically as well. Rubberized exterior makes it more resistant to damage and looks good as well.
- The SanDisk Extreme 900 Portable SSD will take a slow computer and make it faster; it will take a fast computer and make it super fast!
- Definitely not close to the 850+ MB/s advertised or teased in their promo material on other websites.
