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
Tiny, pocketable size, Excellent performance, Easy drive encryption, More affordable than comparable flash drives
Pricey compared to mechanical disks, Short bundled cord
