That has about half the theoretical maximum transfer rate of USB 3.1 Gen 2, which is the interface used by this drive. On the upside, it is still fully compatible with USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 and while the transfer rate you’ll experience will be lower than if you had a computer with Gen 2 USB, it really isn’t that much slower in actual use. If you’re moving from any spinning platter drive to an SSD regardless of the interface you were using with the platter drive, you will see a HUGE performance improvement using this external SSD drive. **Q: Should the cable go in smoothly, or does it kind of snap in and need some pull to come out? Just got mine and wondering if that is normal.** A: The first one I got the cable did not fit well and Samsung replaced the drive. The second one has been fine **Q: I just bought i want to use with an imac and a pc should i plug it in when i get it to imac first and if i do can i drag pc files to it after?** A: I would do a clean format of it on the imac first, you can choose exFAT (it will work on both PC and mac) or you can choose Mac OS Extended (HFS+) which is more stable than exFAT, but you will need software on your PC to read/write to the drive. If the PC is your main machine I would just choose exFAT. **Q: How long is the usb cable?** A: Measured at 16 inches. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It worth to buy it *by A***A on 14 July 2021* Ultralight weight, very tiny and amazing transferring speed ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very lite *by A***A on 19 August 2020* A very nice product with seamless stability...used for a year now...very much lite and small... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small and fast *by S***H on 3 March 2021* good product and very small and fast ## Frequently Bought Together - SAMSUNG T5 Portable SSD 1TB - Up to 540MB/s - USB 3.1 External Solid State Drive, Black (MU-PA1T0B/AM) - SMALLRIG Mount Bracket SSD Holder for Samsung T5 SSD with 1/4”-20 Threads, Compatible with SMALLRIG Cage for BMPCC 4K & 6K and for Z CAM, Compatible with iPhone 15 Pro Max Phone Cage (New Version) - SmallRig Camera Base Plate with 15mm LWS Rod Rail Clamp, Baseplate for Sony A6500 A6600 A6300, for Canon R5 R6, for Sony A7SIII / A7III, Both for Cameras & Cages --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/257102156-samsung-t5-portable-ssd-1tb-up-to-540mb-s-usb](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/257102156-samsung-t5-portable-ssd-1tb-up-to-540mb-s-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
