The Samsung Portable SSD T3 houses a Samsung mSATA 850 Evo drive, which means that it has all of its features.

SAMSUNG HAS ANNOUNCED the arrival of a new range of external SSDs, following on from its T1 range a year ago.

Samsung has announced a new portable SSD based storage device called the Samsung Portable SSD T3.

The Portable SSD T3 (just T3 from here on out) retains the same pocket-friendly form factor of its predecessor, only now it offers multiple gigabyte and terabyte options. Combined with SSD TurboWrite technology, the T3 is a rated to deliver read and write speeds of up to 450MB/s through its USB 3.1 interface. Unlike traditional hard disk drives, SSDs have no moving parts, making them less vulnerable to damage if they’re dropped or bumped. The new SSD comes in 250GB, 500GB, 1TB and 2TB models and is encased in a device that’s the size of your palm and that weighs less than two ounces.

Samsung has now launched a new Portable SSD T3 to kickstart 2016.

Like the T1, the T3 uses the same vertical 3D-NAND (V-NAND) memory found in Samsung’s 850 EVO drive and is capable of read/write speeds of up to 450 MB/s. The T3 also supports USB 3.1 and Type-C connections and comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable. For use across your devices Samsung says the drive is exFAT formatted and should happily converse with your Android smartphone/tablet, SmartTV, desktop or laptop (Mac or Windows) and more. An integrated Thermal Guard is also included, which helps prevent overheating in extreme temperatures. Users can send data from the T3 to a PC and vice versa, access content on the T3 through mobile devices, and view the drive’s multimedia content on large-screen devices such as TVs.
