Portable solid state drives are the new black. At least, I like to think they are. For me, Samsung's Portable SSD T1 has managed to replace both flash drives and external hard drives for me.

Really fast, Small form-factor, Better value than last year

No USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable in the box, Slightly slower and slightly bigger than last year's model, Slow drives will bottleneck the T3
The Samsung Portable SSD T3 2TB is beautifully crafted, is compatible with Android and PC and offers a large amount of storage at a pocketable size. However, it comes at a hefty price tag, read our review to see how it performs.
"Owning something like this is a delight."
Ordinarily we take some time to discuss price, performance, and the market as a whole when reviewing SSDs, but in this case we don't have test results for a full field of comparable drives to weigh the T3 against.
Samsung's portable SSDs bridge the gap between a small, throwaway USB flash drive -- usually with a tiny storage capacity -- and a larger portable USB hard drive. The new T3 really is the best of both worlds, and brings the luxury of high-speed USB Type-C too, but you'll pay a hefty premium for it.
When Samsung released the Portable SSD T1 it sat at the top of the charts when compared to similar USB flash drives but wasn’t what we’d call perfect. The reason I say this is because I could never figure out why Samsung decided to use a plastic enclosure with one such expensive USB 3.0 drive...

Final ThoughtsAs of writing the is the smallest portable solid state drive available in a capacity of up to 2TB. SanDisk’s Extreme 510 drives are around the same size, but are only available in capacities of up to 480 GB.

– A USB TypeC to TypeC cable should be included
SSDs are awesome, and so is USB-C. What could be better than a combination of the two? That’s the idea behind the Samsung T3, a portable SSD that operates over the USB 3.1 standard for extremely file transfers and access times.

Bonafide SSD speeds, Super portable; plug and play, Works on PCs and Android

Expensive (£300 for 1TB), Not as fast as internal SSDs, Cable remains unsightly
The Samsung SSD T3 with its USB 3.1 port certainly delivers impressive results, making it one of the fastest external drives on the market today. Its appeal lies on its cross-platform support and backwards compatibility, thanks to the USB 3.1 port.

Small update to the T1, Still quite expensive
Very fast portable storage and with USB 3.1 / Type C support make this truly a next-gen standard for its category.
Drive works very well, fast with USB 3.1 connector for the computer. You do not need a new cable for this if you have an older computer. The cable is backward compatible with the older USB 2.0.
light, fast, slim, silent... Da best!
