activation required

I bought the 1TB drive but it only shows 124MB. Apparently you have to activate this drive before it registers the 1TB (actually 913MB). You can activate with or without password. I recommend with the password. The drive is slightly smaller than the size of a credit card so it can be easily stolen from from a laptop.

Hard drive era over

Great light-weight replacement for portable hard drives. SSD has the advantage of being very small and has no moving parts to suffer wear and tear. The two reasons why it didn't get 5 stars are: 1. plastic enclosure does not have a robust quality feel, but this is only a first impression and not be a reflection of actual durability. 2. preloaded software is annoying. Would be best to allow a clean install.

Nice Drive but Mac Users Beware

Nice hardware but I lowered the rating because of significant installation software issues. I got this because I need a small fast SSD to back up Lightroom libraries on a 2011 Macbook Pro. So far, it works fine – great on USB 3.0; very slow on USB 2.0. If using this on a Mac, please read the online discussions about how the Samsumg encryption software installs kernel extensions when you first connect the drive. (You'll find its two components at /System/Library/Extensions/SATSMARTDriver.kext and /System/Library/Extension/SATSMARTLib.plugin.) I used the Samsung software to disable encryption so I can just plug the drive into any Mac's USB port. And I reformatted it with the OS X file system. The Macbook pro on which I ran the Samsung software then stopped recognizing Firewire drives when connected to the Macbook. Thought I had a hardware failure, but when I deleted the Samsung kernel extensions and rebooted, Firewire started working again. Please beware when using this with a Mac!!!

About Samsung T1

Stunning performance inside, stylish design outside Enjoy the new fast, safe, and stylish portable SSD from Samsung

Carry who you are in a portable portfolio
There's a new way to have your personal and professional data on you all the time. Ever heard of the T1? It's the portable SSD designed with V-NAND technology. Samsung has carefully taken the powerful performance of an internal SSD, added the best security you can find and put it in a cool looking shell roughly the size of business card. The T1 is the perfect portable portfolio for your life in the digital world we live in.

Imagine if you never had to wait on your data
As you go through your day, why wait for data when you don't have to? With the T1 portable SSD you get superfast read-write speeds of up to 450 MB/s driven by TurboWrite Technology. So you don't have to wait anymore. When tested head-to-head against a comparable external HDD the T1 demonstrated a data transfer speed 3 to 7 times faster. This means you save every second of your precious time when moving or retrieving files like movies, photos or applications.

Focus on your life, not your data
For many people their data is their life whether it's personal or professional. That's why Samsung's made sure the T1 is embedded with the latest in advanced security using an AES 256 bit encryption algorithm to secure valuable data. It's easy to use and can be accessed with one password. Since the T1 has no moving parts, it is designed to withstand more shock impact and more vibrations than alternative storage solutions with sensitive moving components. This along with resistance to high temperatures allows you to take it safely with you wherever you go.

Bring style into your digital life
Let your portable portfolio be an expression of your trend setting style. The T1's sleek premium design is accentuated by its slim compact design, primed for chic portability. Plus, It's been designed with laser patterning and black chrome metalizing finishing. How cool does that sound? Even the T1 custom cable has been designed for style with its jet black color. Take a look and see.

A revolution in portable performance and reliability
You grow old, but your data storage doesn't have to. The T1's ground breaking V-NAND technology brings a new level of performance and reliability that had been impossible with conventional planar NAND memory. With the V-NAND technology, T1 will ensure revolutionary performance and reliability in portable data storage.

Take your data wherever you go
You should have immediate access to your data any time you want it. Now, you can keep your data with you at all times thanks to the TI's compact, portable design. At 71.0x9.2x53.2 mm you can slide into your pocket, wallet or bag and you're good to go. Data storage has never been so portable.
