Sequential throughput may be limited by other bottlenecks in older systems
Getting full throughput may require using an Intel USB port and driver
Housing gets warm/hot during heavy continuous use
USB 3.0 may soon be dated in favor of USB 3.1c
The Sams
Expensive (compared to USB thumb drives and external HDDs)
Pricey on a per-gigabyte basis
Runs a little warm when reading/writing for an extended period
The supplied USB3 cable is rather short at only 13cm.
The drive is expensive and has only a three-year warranty
Not especially cheap
Speed can vary
On the expensive side
Bright blue status LED
Still more expensive than a hard drive based enclosure
The 500GB/1TB models seem overpriced versus buying other solutions and the T1's plastic case feels flimsy

The Samsung T1 SSD is almost impossibly small. If you're looking for a way to carry an additional 256GB, 512Gb or 1TB of data around with you, it doesn't get any more portable than this. It is also blazingly fast both writing and reading data. The mSata c...

The Samsung Portable SSD T1 is without a doubt an impressive little flash drive. Once upon a time an external drive meant pretty slow performance as a 5400 rpm or in extreme cases and 7200 rpm hard drive was used. The Samsung Portable SSD T1 is a great ex...

With an emphasis on performance and portability, the Samsung T1 puts SATA speeds in your pocket for a fair price at least with the 250GB model.
The 500GB/1TB models seem overpriced versus buying other solutions and the T1's plastic case feels flimsy, especially for the premium involved.
The Samsung T1 proved itself with internal SATA SSD-like results, sustaining a throughput of 390MB/s when downloading (reading) a single large compressed file and 300MB/s when uploading (writing). This is the fastest USB 3.0 storage device we've ever test...
