There are those who with current USB sticks or conventional external hard drives do not have enough. Also, when it comes to moving all the information from one place to another, the smaller the hardware, the better. We have already commented on occasion that SSD prices are dropping and they are catching up with conventional HDDs.
However, when we talk about mobility, the prices of these storage media get more expensive. But they do help a much lighter transport. And this is the case of Samsung's latest bet on external storage issues: the Samsung SSD T5.
With an aluminum chassis and available in different shades (black or blue), The Samsung SSD T5 is an SSD disk in a format that is equal in size - and can even be smaller - than that of a credit card. That is, you can carry it in your trouser pocket without knowing it (it weighs only 51 grams). Its chassis, in addition to being striking for its size, is also striking for the use of aluminum, thus giving it a more premium. In addition, it has a thickness of less than 11 millimeters.
Also, the Samsung SSD T5 is the evolution of the Samsung SSD T3 that has been sold for a long time. Now, in this new version we find two things. The first: you can get it in capacities of 250 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB. Of course, the first two capacities are intended for the color blue. While the last two - and more interesting - can be purchased in deep black.
Also, the connection ports are updated. And Samsung bets on the market standard; that is, use a USB-C port. In addition, the that the company attaches in its Samsung SSD T5 can be used on both Windows and Mac. But beware, because the worst news comes from the sale price. And if you decide on the model with more capacity, you should pay the not inconsiderable figure of $ 799,99 (about 680 euros at the current exchange rate).
