The editors didn't like
Expensive
Must install security driver to use on computers
Price (For Some)
Pricey at launch
Requires a few steps for initial set up out of the box
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

It's early days for portable SSD storage devices and currently, prices are relatively high; between 4.5 and eight times the price per gigabyte (GB) of portable magnetic HDDs with the same capacity. In addition, the highest capacity for a portable SSD is 1...
Fast. Really, really fast, Great value when compared to other USB 3.0 flash drives, Incredibly light,
Expensive, My other drives all feel slow now, Can turn other drives into a bottleneck,
Samsung's T1 SSD is legitimately insane; its hands down the fastest external storage drive I've tested. It may come across as overkill, but if you're dealing with large amounts of data - and have an internal drive that can keep up with it - the T1 is inv...

Abstract: Samsung's latest external storage device, the SSD T1 is very fast and very light, except on your wallet.That's the benefit, and in many ways, the curse of SSDs; they're fast and very light, but they're not exactly cheap, which means that drives like the S...
