Samsung T1 Portable SSD review - Introduction

Super small portable storage with scrorching performance

The lads at Samsung figured, hmm ... why just out SSDs for laptops, server and PC solutions ? Our latest tech is affordable, very fast and over USB 3.0 an excellent alternative for storage on the go. As such we review the Samsung T1 Portable SSD,  the new portable storage unit allows you to connect it towards USB 3.0, combined with the DNA of an SSD it makes the T1 a VERY fast storage unit. In fact this product houses the very latest 3D Vertical NAND. Our sample has been equipped with a 500 GB NAND flash storage and if you are on the move, this great looking yet very small device might just be what the doctor ordered.

The Samsung T1 Portable SSD external storage drive is at 9mm probably the thinnest external HDD storage unit you have seen to date. And hey now, it is compatible with USB 3.0. USB 3.0 (also known as SuperSpeed USB) has a maximum bandwidth rate of 5 gbps (gigabits per second). That would be to 625 MBps (megabytes per second), ten times faster than USB 2.0 (aka Hi-Speed USB). And yeah at 71mm length it is among the smallest and he thinnest portable SSDs overall (71.0 x 9.2 x 53.2 mm). The first series of drives are available in three volume sizes, 250GB/500GB/1TB. The 250GB starts at roughly 175 EURO. As stated the Samsung T1 Portable SSD has 9.2mm thickness and comes with a nice carbon feel surface that has scratch resistance features. The drive also has a bright LED indicator for indicating power and data transfer status. The T1 uses 3D Vertical NAND (V-NAND) SSD technology that you know from the latest Evo 850 series. 

Here's a schocking moment; the drive has sequential read/write speeds of up to 450 megabytes per second (MB/s) on that USB 3.0 super speed interface and random read/write speeds of up to 8,000 inputs/outputs per second (IOPS) and 21,000 IOPS respectively.

Interested already ?, well have a peek with the help of a photo first and then head onwards into the review.
