Review on Samsung T5 Portable SSD MU PA500B by Hong Hng Quang ᠌

Some pros: The disk is a good workhorse. The kit comes with two cables Type C - Type A, Type C - Type C. Therefore, you can connect to both new and old computers. In the characteristics on , only one available USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C interface is incorrectly indicated. In fact, the drive works with both USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0 and even USB 2.0. If you need high write speeds, then you need to understand that the drive uses SLC caching and will only write ~ 5% of the available capacity at full speed. On my 512 GB model, this is about 20 GB on an empty disk at 377 MB/s, then the speed drops to 180 MB/s and the last 30% of the disk is already written at 90 MB/s. Different cons: They could have done it faster, even USB 3.0 is not completely utilized during recording. And the speed drops quickly when copying large volumes.
