Samsung unveiled the T5 portable SSD earlier this
month. Today it has launched it in India. This has the same compact design and
weighs just 51 grams as last year’s T3, but this offers up to 540 MB/s transfer
speed and uses USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) interface compared to up to 450MB/s
transfer speed and USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) interface. It also has a full metal
body unlike the predecessor that had plastic caps.
It is built on Samsung’s latest 64-layer V-NAND
technology and comes with two connection cables – USB-C to C and USB-C to A. It
is compatible with PCs, Macs as well as
Android smartphones and tablets.
