  • Premium build quality, Great speed performance, Thunderbolt 3 + NVMe, Portable, Easy-to-use software
  • The drive can easily get hot, Only one color combo available
  • Samsung has always been one of the best in providing both an elegant looking external drive, as well as an excellent performance to go along with it and the X5 does deliver in both departments, especially from the speed point of view and not just purely f...

  • The 1TB variant of the Samsung X5 SSD costs Rs 48,999, making it one of the (if not the most) priciest external drives in the market. It goes without saying that for most prospective SSD buyers, the X5 would be overkill. It's clearly not meant to sit in a...

  • The Samsung X5 is just one of the many new fast external hard drive to emerge recently.It is, however, one of the few that features Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C. This means that it offers far faster read and write speeds than the majority of the competition.I...

  • Samsung's latest portable drive is touted as being its fastest yet. The X5 leverages both NVMe and Thunderbolt 3 technology for performance as high as 2.8GB/s read and 2.3GB/s write. Ideal for creative professionals or media enthusiast, the new drive can...

  • The Samsung x5 matches its advertised read speed and writes thanks to that fast last generation 64-layer 3-bit written V-NAND. Combined with a bit of an SLC and DRAM cache and a very fast Thunderbolt 3 interface, this thing will smoke anything and after c...

  • The X5 blew all of our other contenders clean out of the water. There is no doubt that it will land far ahead of the other portables in our rankings. We distill an overall performance rating using an older SATA SSD as a baseline. To compare each drive, w...
