It is really amazing think Samsung Portable SSD T1 redefines portability. Super-fast, it raises the expectation of what a portable storage device is capable of. In fact, it’s how any portable drive should be. The drive is perfect for those needing to quickly back up data or even do some video editing on the go.
My only minor concern is its three-year warranty. Considering Samsung backs the 850 Evo drive with a five-year warranty and the 850 Pro drive with a 10-year, the T1 looks short-changed. Plus, of course, paying $600 for just 1TB of storage space is a luxury most people can’t afford.
That said, the T1 is best suited for professional and high-end business users. For the rest of us, I’d wait till the price comes down before getting your own.
