Samsung Portable SSD X5 review: The world’s fastest external hard drive

 

Even faster than Samsung's own trusty T5, the X5 SSD is the new king of high-speed portable drives

Incredibly fast; Very portable; Stylish design

Won’t work with regular USB ports; Hugely expensive; Not waterproof

The Samsung Portable SSD X5 is a niche product, but it's unbeatable on its own terms. if you’re looking for the fastest external drive in the world, this is it.

Samsung Portable SSD X5 Review

 

The sleek, expensive Samsung Portable SSD X5 offers the fastest single-drive external storage money can buy, but it's suited mainly to well-heeled content-creation pros using late-model Macs.
