For a long time Samsung has been my preferred portable SSD drive manufacturer -- mainly because of their compatibility with Mac OS's.This drive is no different. Setup takes no time at all, Install a driver and you're away. By default the drive gets you to set a password, which as a security professional I welcome (people should be forced to do this with devices as small as this which can be lost easily).It's compatibility cross-platform is why I choose Samsung again-and-again. I can take this drive out of my Mac and plug it into my Android phone with no problems at all. It just works.Write speeds are quick over USB3 - 5GB in less than 10 secs.The size of this device makes it super portable. It takes up no space in my backpack, This is especially nice as a remote worker travelling between sites. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great back up disk but......see full review !!!! *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2017* Very nice SSD , super fast transfer via USB-C ,I bought a USB-C to USB-C cable separately . Wish I could afford the 2 TB one, but alas the 500 GB is my financial limit at the moment, as soon as I can afford the 2TB I'll be ordering it , One word of warning if you use the password manager for security, it ejects the disk and up pops a notification saying "DISK NOT EJECTED PROPERLY" , I contacted SAMSUNG and they suggested I remove the password manager (which I did ) and it works fine now on my new MacBook Pro with touch bar , BUT A BIT SILLY THAT I HAVE TO REMOVE THE SECURITY PASSWORD JUST TO GET IT WORKING PROPERLY ?????? otherwise its a great SAFE way of backing up my MacBook Pro .....Oh and it looks so cool next to my laptop ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely Portable and quick *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2017* This SSD is tiny and works well between my windows computer and my MacBook Pro 2017.There are variation in speeds....lighting quick with a USB-c adaptor straight into the MacBook Pro (doesn't come with it, had to buy it seperatly)But with windows even with a USB 3 connection can be very slow at times, but quick at others.Would have given it 5 stars but doesn't come with a USB C to USB C cable as well as the usb c to USB 3 cable and not consistent with the speeds on USB 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/47986247-samsung-t3-usb-3-1-500-gb-external-solid-state](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/47986247-samsung-t3-usb-3-1-500-gb-external-solid-state) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
