Samsung recently announced the newest addition to their SSD family: the Samsung SSD T5. With a lightning fast transfer speed of up to 540 MB/s and storage capacity of up to 2TB, it may be just what we photographers are looking for.  Samsung has also added some eye-catching features to their newest creation, providing photographers and videographers alike with a potentially helpful new tool.

Samsung SSD T5

The T5 offers:

  • 4 different storage options: 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, or 2TB
  • Portability: it weighs 51 grams and is relatively tiny in size (3.0 x 2.3 x 0.4 inches)
  • 2 connection cables: USB-C to C and USB-C to A (more information about this in the next section)
  • No moving parts
  • A shock-resistant internal frame
  • The ability to withstand drops of up to 2 metres
  • Data encryption
  • A mobile app for Android users

All in all, the T5 offers photographers a chance to travel smoothly and safely with their work.

Since it can withstand significant drops, the T5 is ideal for people who travel a lot and wish to avoid accidentally damaging their files in the process. Also, it won't take up much space, giving bulkier items a chance to fit into your camera bag.

Its speed will allow room for quick file transfers and users will be able to work on their images without having to import them. The connection cables are compatible with almost any modern device. Unless you have gadgets that aren't available in the market right now, you'll be able to connect them to the T5 without a problem. Data encryption will let you easily secure your SSD and keep everything in it safe.

As mentioned earlier, there are four different versions of the T5, available in 2 colours: Deep Black and Alluring Blue. Deep Black represents the 1TB and 2TB models, while Alluring Blue represents the 250GB and 500GB models. The prices are as follows:

$129.99 for 250GB
$199.00 for 500GB
$399.99 for 1TB
$799 for 2TB

Compared to other hard drives, the T5 has seemingly ridiculous prices. However, if you take its lightning speed, portability, and size into consideration, the cost might make a little more sense – but you will need to weigh-up features vs price. Being able to store your photography files in the Samsung SSD T5 may sound like an incredible investment to some, and a horrible waste of money to others.

Whether it proves to be a success in the long term or not, the T5 is certainly revealing tremendous progress in technological advancement.
