![]() ![]() This is not storage you carry around confident in the knowledge you can plug it into anything, but if you regularly transport data from one Thunderbolt 3-equipped computer to another this is an extremely appealing way to do that. The X5 does work on two other systems, a Dell XPS laptop and a Lenovo laptop. It never gets the initial 'Approve' popup. It is not being recognized on one of my systems (a new HP Z2 Mini G4 Workstation). The Thunderbolt 3 interface that makes such high performance possible is also potentially its limiting factor due to its relative rarity in devices today. I am having a problem with my new Samsung Portable SSD X5. ![]() Samsung has introduced a super-premium product, with prices and performance at the top of the field. Peak sequential write speeds were just above 2.480MB/s in testing, with peak read speeds of 1.440MB/S. In our testing the drive maintained sequential write speeds of around l,700MB/s for around 25 seconds before thermal throttling kicked in and performance dropped to around l,200MB/s. Inside, most of the weight is taken up by the SSD’s heatsink, which, along with adaptive throttling Samsung call Dynamic Thermal Guard, keep the case temperature below 45. It is not waterproof or resistant, it does, however use magnesium for its case which is strong yet light. It comes pre-formatted using exFAT to maintain compatibility between Mac and Windows machines.
