I rely a lot on portable hard drives for backing up and working on the go, and would go as far as saying that this is one of the finest portable SSDs I’ve used. The drive comes ready to go, with a USB Type-C to Type-A cable in the box. LED displayĪ small blue LED displays when the drive is powered and connected. The drive weighs just 51g and measures 74x58x 10.5mm (WxHxD). Samsung Portable SSD T3 – key features Weight and size

There’s built-in hardware encryption for both Windows and Mac users to keep files secure, and as well as the 500GB sample reviewed here, it’s also available in 250GB (£99), 1TB (£305) and 2TB (£596) versions.
Just don’t expect to get as close to its claimed 450MB write speed as you would via USB 3.0. It’s also backwards compatible with USB 2.0. In the middle of one end is a USB 3.1 Type-C socket, and for those who want to achieve the fastest write speeds possible it should be connected to a USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 port. Unlike some portable drives, though, it’s not waterproof and doesn’t feature rubberised protection at the sides or edges, so you’ll want to be careful not to drop it. The T3 has a resilient metal body that’s half finished in aluminium and half in a soft-touch, matt-black plastic. Unlike portable hard disk drives (HDDs), which are cheaper and made up of moving parts that can be prone to damage or failure, SSDs do not contain any moving parts and are renowned for their excellent reliability and quiet operation.
