On OCinside.de we have an external Samsung T5 Portable 500GB USB 3.1 SSD in the test, today. The special feature of this external USB SSD is that it supports USB 3.1 Gen2 at up to Gb/s and can reach or even exceed speeds of an internal SATA3 SSD. The matching USB 3.1 Type-C cable and USB-C to USB 3.1 Type-A cable are included in the delivery. In the following Samsung Portable SSD T5 review we will clarify if the performance in practice succeeds and we also explain what you can do if the USB 3.1 port is too slow. Of course we compare the external USB 3.1 SSD with dozens of SSD benchmarks and show infrared thermal images of the new Samsung T5 SSD as well.
