Storage Redefined

The Samsung Portable SSD T5 elevates data transfer speeds to the next level and unleashes a new experience in external storage. With a compact and durable design and password protection, the T5 is truly easy to carry and stores data securely.

Fast Transfer Speeds
With Samsung V-NAND flash memory and a USB 3.1 Gen2 interface, the T5 provides fast transfer speeds of up to 540MB/s, that's up to 4.9x faster than external HDDs. Transfers and backups of large-sized data including 4K videos and high-resolution photos will be much quicker and faster.

Download times from laptop to T5:
4.8GB 4K UHD Movie - 12 seconds
3GB Full HD Movie - 7 seconds
100 Photos (2.8MB each) - 3 seconds

Metal Minimalism
The top to bottom metal design and rounded unibody fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The T5 comes in two distinct aluminum finishes - an alluring blue for 250GB and 500GB models, and a deep black for 1TB and 2TB models.

Compact and Light
Smaller than the average business card, weighing just 51 grams, and only 10.5mm thick. The compact, light and slim T5 is the perfect portable storage.

Solid Inside and Out
Stay worry-free. The T5 has no moving parts and a sturdy metal body, so it can handle drops of up to 2 metres. The optional password protection with AES 256-bit hardware encryption keeps your personal and private data more secure. It's all confidently backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

Management Software
The T5 comes embedded with new intuitive software for PCs and Macs to easily set the password and get the latest firmware updates. You can also download the mobile app for Android smartphones and tablets.

Connect with ease
