Abstract: Want one? Amazon: techteamgb.co.uk/samsungx5 Samsung make some amazing SSDs like their T5 USB C external SSD – but clearly felt it wasn't quite fast enough… So, introducing the X5. A Thunderbolt 3 SSD. Here's a bit of an overview of it! Products shown pro...

Thunderbolt 3 interface, Sequential read and write performance, Full hardware-based encryption,
Expensive, Drive gets hot under load, Lack of color options, Three-year warranty, Non-slip coating isn't very effective
The Samsung Portable SSD X5 is rather pricey, but the impressive performance will speed up your workflow. Full AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption provides a nice layer of additional security for the professional crowd, but the three-year warranty i...

Blazingly fast, Portable
Lack of AC jack makes it Thunderbolt 3 only, Expensive, though not out of whack for NVMe SSDs
If you want the fastest possible portable storage for your Thunderbolt 3 Mac, the X5 is it. The biggest issues are price and a complete the lack of compatibility with the vast majority of Macs and PCs. If that's a major concern, go USB 3.1.But USB...
Nur Thunderbolt-Anschluss, kein USB, Unterstützt offiziell nur Mac und Windows
Noch nie hatten wir eine schnellere externe SSD im Test: Die Samsung X5 1 TB erreicht eine extreme Lesegeschwindigkeit von 2.400 MB/s und eine Schreibgeschwindigkeit von etwa 1.800 MB/s. Damit ist sie etwa fünfmal so schnell wie eine herkömmliche SATA-SSD...

Terrifyingly fast performance, Beautiful, sleek design, Rock solid build quality, AES 256-bit encryption, Up to 2TB capacity, Neutral, - 3-year warranty
No USB Type-C support, Very pricey
Muscle flexing and showing off seems to be the X5's game. Every test we threw at the drive was handled incredibly well, even prolonged usage such as the PCMark 8 test didn't faze the drive, eventually landing up with a stronger score than a 250GB Samsung...
Hoge doorvoersnelheid, Zelfde prestaties als intern, Encryptie, Stevige behuizing
Werkt niet via usb
Samsung maakt met de X5 de belofte waar: dit is een externe ssd die vrijwel net zo snel is als een intern exemplaar. Je kunt de X5 dan ook zonder zorgen inzetten voor alles waar je normaal gesproken een interne nvme-ssd voor inzet. De X5 is ook een prima...

I have to admit that when I first received the Samsung X5, I was flat out impressed. Exterior packaging was of a premium quality and the exterior build of the Samsung X5 is beyond reproach. It is very compact and absolutely gorgeous.Next up we looked at p...

sehr hohe Leistung, maximale Leistung steht sehr früh bereit, Thermal-Throtteling für die Praxis keine Relevanz
sehr hoher Preis, Glossy-Oberfläche kratzanfällig
Samsung liefert mit der Portable SSD X5 endlich das Gerät, das wir uns schon so lange von den Südkoreanern gewünscht haben: Eine mobile SSD, bei der das Interface nicht den limitierenden Faktor darstellt. Entsprechend kann das Laufwerk dann seine Performa...
