Overview

The Samsung T5 Portable SSD (MU-PA250B/AM) packs 250GB of solid-state storage into a compact metal enclosure that easily fits in a pocket or bag. Its USB 3.1 Gen.2 interface delivers sequential read and write speeds up to 540MB/sec, making it a fast and practical solution for transferring large files, running portable applications, or backing up important data on the go. The drive is compatible with Mac, PC, and Android devices, offering broad flexibility across platforms.

Security is handled by AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which can be configured through Samsung's Portable SSD software to require a password before the drive's contents are accessible — a valuable feature for anyone carrying sensitive data. The solid-state design means there are no moving parts, giving the T5 a meaningful durability advantage over traditional portable hard drives when it comes to resisting drops and vibration. This listing is for a renewed unit, which has been inspected and tested to meet functional standards, making it an accessible entry point into Samsung's well-regarded portable SSD line at a lower price than buying new.
