And so this is article is only a first-experience notice and is not a full (nor even a quick look) review. I'll be engaging Samsung technical people to work out the details, but in the meantime, I cannot recommend this product in its current state. However, the executive summary is that in initial testing of this product, I found serious user interface and technical problems. After all, a one ounce (actually just 26 grams), fast, external SSD with a 500 GB capacity looked to be a remarkable and useful product. When I received the Samsung Electronics Portable SSD T1 last week for review, I was enthusiastic about reviewing it.
I did some initial testing and the results suggest Mac owners should defer a decision on this new product until more details are sorted out. On January 20, Samsung announced what appears to be an exceptional new storage product, a one ounce USB 3 external Flash drive, essentially a portable Flash SSD, called the T1.
