Samsung Portable SSD X5

 

The sleek, expensive Samsung Portable SSD X5 offers the fastest single-drive external storage money can buy, but it's suited mainly to well-heeled content-creation pros using late-model Macs.

Extremely fast data transfer speeds, thanks to Thunderbolt 3 and PCIe NVMe interfaces. Multiple capacity options. Sleek design.

Expensive. Heavy. No USB support. Difficult to connect to Windows PCs.

Bottom Line: The sleek, expensive Samsung Portable SSD X5 offers the fastest single-drive external storage money can buy, but it's suited mainly to well-heeled content-creation pros using late-model Macs.

Samsung Portable SSD X5 review: The world’s fastest external hard drive

 

Even faster than Samsung's own trusty T5, the X5 SSD is the new king of high-speed portable drives

Incredibly fast; Very portable; Stylish design

Won’t work with regular USB ports; Hugely expensive; Not waterproof

The Samsung Portable SSD X5 is a niche product, but it's unbeatable on its own terms. if you’re looking for the fastest external drive in the world, this is it.
