This 500GB #SamsungT1 Portable SSD weighs about 1oz and is smaller than a credit card. Beautiful. Fast. USB 3.0.

As part of the Imagelogger program I often get to check out some great Samsung products. I recently received a brand new Samsung Portable SSD T1. This solid state drive is a 500GB powerhouse in a smaller than credit card sized package. What an incredible piece of tech and I’m so excited to have been able to receive one to back up all of the great photos that I’ve been shooting with the Samsung NX cameras. This drive is also fast enough where I can edit my 4K videos right off the drive. I made a video unboxing of the drive, too.

Below are some details about this drive.

Features of the Samsung Portable SSD T1.

• The Samsung Portable SSD T1 is a stylish, external portable solid state drive that represents a new standard of storage for today’s digital life

Let's put this #SamsungT1 size and weight into perspective. These tiny Transformers Kreo figures are holding the super fast 500GB Samsung T1 SSD. So light. So fast. So small. So powerful. #Imagelogger

The image above shows just how light this drive really is. It is being held up by two LEGO sized minifigures. Minifigs can’t go holding too much weight and a drive that is almost an ounce is so easy to hold. I couldn’t even imagine this drive before I received it. I have tons of external drives and this one blows them all away.

I also received a 32GB SD Pro card. It is a perfect way to capture some 4K video and huge image files so quickly. I’m pretty lucky for sure.

Love all my #Imagelogger gear, can't forget these super fast SD Pro cards either. Speed like that helps me #DITCHtheDSLR
