Review on 💻 SAMSUNG T5 1TB Portable SSD - Lightning-Fast 540MB/s Speed - USB 3.1 Solid State Drive in Black by Kaveen Reyes

Started this review after failing 1 out of 3 but never posted for some reason. Probably waiting to see what the Samsung warranty will do. Just reformatted and sent back. I treated this with a little suspicion/caution. But then the 2nd of 3 failed! Again completely invisible to the computer except in Disk Management. I don't remember if Disk 1 was there, but unlike Disk 1, this time I was able to recover the contents of the disk with EaseUS sw! Since I could access it in Disk Manager as an empty drive, I (slowly) initialized and formatted, then burned several large files to it, including several movies. Movies play normally, files are readable. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen again. FWIW, Disk 1 has been working reliably for over 6 months now. I still like this drive for its compact size, light weight and quick access. I don't like that 2 out of 3 completely failed just a few months after I started using them. This is a reminder to duplicate everything on disc 2 and possibly disc 3. Even carrying three of them is still smaller than a portable hard drive, so I probably won't go back to the seemingly more fragile but ultimately more reliable portable drives when traveling!
