The editors didn't like
The price is the obvious problem for most users
And we really hoped this series would see a major cost reduction. Real-world file transfer performance is lower than we expected from a product with superior synthetic performance
The T3 is a tad larger and slightly slower than its predecessor
The T1
While costing more. Its three-year warranty is short for a storage device at this price
Abstract: When I reviewed Samsung's Portable SSD T1 last year, I was very impressed with what it had to offer. Of all the external SSDs on the market, the PSSD T1 proved to be the best combination of speed, capacity, and physical size. Because it utilized Samsung's...
Extremely small size, Solid design, Great performance, AES 256-bit hardware encryption, Available in capacities up to 2 TB, 3 year warranty
A USB Type-C to Type-C cable should be included

The Samsung Portable SSD T3 offers good looks and high performance in a compact size. Samsung didn't have a problem adding an awesome product tax when we wanted to see a better value for consumers. In time, the price will come down and that will make th...
Much like the original T1, the new Samsung T3 proved itself with internal SATA SSD-like results, sustaining a throughput of 390MB/s when downloading (reading) a single large compressed file and 300MB/s when uploading (writing).The T3 shines when handling...

The Samsung Portable SSD T3 500 GB is slightly larger, weights slightly more and is just as fast as the Samsung Portable SSD T1 500 GB. This means that if you already have a T1 here is no reason to upgrade unless you want to shell out a lot of money for t...

Abstract: We'd been on the lookout for a handy companion for our USB-C-toting smartphones and laptops and - what do you know? Samsung busts one out. This is the Samsung SSD T3 with USB-C, working with the same controllers and flash used in Samsung's 2.5-inch SATA S...

Speedy performance, USB-C port, Mac, Windows PC, and Android compatible, Drop tested to 6 feet, Three-year warranty,
Pricey, USB-C-to-USB-C cable not included
