It’s faster, too. Samsung claims it delivers speeds up to 540 MBps. Of course, for that, you’ll need a USB Type-C port on your computer. But if you have an older laptop, you can still use the included USB Type-C to Type-A cable to attach to your existing ports.   The T5 is about the size of a credit card and weighs just 0.1 pounds, so it’s also far smaller than HDD-based storage. Samsung backs it up with a three-year warranty. The 250GB and 500GB models come in blue, and the 1TB and 2TB come in a much nicer-looking black. The 500GB model is $200, the 1TB model is $400, and the 2TB is a very-pricey $800. So if you’re looking for something you won’t need to take out a mortage on, stick to the low-end.
