Review on ๐Ÿ’พ Samsung T3 Portable SSD 500GB USB 3.1 External Solid State Drive (MU-PT500B/AM) by Reginald Holman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very fast, feels solid, quite small and flies with Type-C USB 3.1

So fast! So small! I have two T3 SSDs - 500GB and 250GB. It is great! Copying files from my laptop to the drive is very fast, even with very large Photoshop and video files. An SSD is much faster than the old spinning drives. The T3 is a lot smaller than WD and Seagate portable (spinning) drives and looks a lot more reliable. If your laptop has a USB 3.1 Type-C port, I highly recommend getting the J5 Create 2.3. USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-C coaxial cable (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B3N3VYE) to connect the T3 to a (faster) Type-C port instead of the included USB-A to use. Cable. Note that many (most?) USB 3.1 Type-C cables currently on the market are NOT USB-IF compliant and will damage electronic devices. Tested by Nathan, Google Type-C Expert, the J5 Create cable is USB-IF certified and compliant with the USB Type-C specification version 1.2.
