A sneak peek of Samsung's recently launched product! What is it?

[Magickiller9]

Is it worth paying so much for fast speed?

For those that can justify the price/speed ration yup. For me no.. I rather buy multiple hard disk.

 

[Magickiller9]

What C brands?
Apart from big brands like Samsung, Kingston the others can't promise lifetime warranty. At most few years.

Don't think Samsung offer any lifetime warranty. Max 10 years.

eSATA can provide power to the samsung portable ssd like usb cable?

Nope. Still needs external power supplied. But Samsung could make a cable that incorporates both eSATA and USB2.0, eSATA being for the data transfer lanes and USB2.0 purely for power. eSATA provides exclusive data lanes for SATA data transfer, while USB3.0 requires data and power to be transmitted together. So eSATA is 'safer' than USB3.0 in terms of data transfer, but downside is requires external power.

10 years usually is more than enough, by then the card would serve its purpose, time to upgrade to a bigger and faster one.

Is there differences in term of transfer speed performance between flat and normal cable?

I don't remember reading there is, but the quality of the wiring inside and built of the external wire is always good to have made from quality materials.

Internal wire should be cooper only. The external is just sleeve to protect. Unless it's Rj45 i remember it's twisted to 'prevent signal interference'.

Perhaps they should invent eSataPwr.

Anyone knows the hardwarezone promo for Samsung T1 1TB, 500GB, 250GB SSD already got people redeemed?

It's quite an awkward picture that Dr.Vijay and his team has photoshopped together though. Coz speed and torque are on opposite ends of the spectrum. In this world, when you have speed you sacrifice on torque, vice versa. Hence you see the physics behind why slow cars are more stable on negotiating bends. But the 'No Speed Limit' and 'Torque' magazine just don't seem to complement each other. Good marketing tactic on that, or Samsung T1 SSD is suggesting something along the lines of speed and torque...

 

[Gribber]

Coz need to refresh lineup?

It's the same with the SSD. Samsung 850 EVO SSD fast enough alrdy wad, y still need the T1 SSD? I guess Samsung needs to pre-empt ailing HDD makers like Seagate and WD from entering the external SSD market, given that the internal SSD maerket is already saturated?

MIlk more $

 

[Alexz_Hong]

I also want the EVO card but little quantity.

haha. same here. I'm probably not going to even try for the Samsung EVO+, settle for EVO since it's sufficient for my needs already for just storing music and photos.

I can help to answer this though. The top 3 prizes for the Samsung portable SSD T1 likely all still available. There is a limit to the amount of points that can be earned each day, and not enough time has passed yet.

 

[Alexz_Hong]

The Samsung Portable SSD T1 is actually not that new. When the contest first started i go find the news, and it was announced earlier this year. But of course I think its compact form factor is still quite unique in the market, a blend between SSD and thumb drive. But faster than traditional HDD in terms of read/write speeds because of TurboWrite.

Longer cable is very cheap in ebay, $2-3 with free shipping.

But reliability may not be there. Always best to get original.

 

[shadow84]

To improve the SSD T1, USB 3.1 and wifi capabilities can be introduced.
Maybe the SSD T1 can be unlocked by using an app too instead of a using password.

Wifi is a little redundant as it will be the bottleneck. Samsung ssd will become likr samsung hdd..

 

[Valour]

as well as the Samsung Micro Evo, Pro SD cards

I couldnt find down to specific items, but under leaderboards, most rewards, some redeemed items which is most likely the evo cards.

 

[shadow84]

One of the hidden rules of this contest. No mention of why only certain timing can get the points and it get push back later everyday.

Any range of timing to post good stuff about samsung portable ssd t1?

 

[shadow84]

Is there differences in term of transfer speed performance between flat and normal cable?

I think the material used and its quality is more important.

I agree, keep the size of the samsung ssd t1 slim and small will be nice
