The X5 comes with a three-year limited warranty and will be available globally from Sept. You get maximum read speeds of 2800 MB/s and writes in the 2300 MB/s range, the NAND used is Samsung's 64-layer 3d NAND (TLC written, with an SLC cache) is used, and yeah that makes this a 970 Evo in a shiny red box really. You can set the password and manage the security mode through the Samsung Portable SSD Software which is available for computers (Windows and Mac OS) and Android devices through an app. It is external and a portable storage unit, so it will also offer optional password protection via robust AES (256-bit) encryption. Important to mention is that the X5 is not backward-compatible with the anything USB, which is a bit of a deficit of course. You need to connect the X5 to Thunderbolt 3 on your PCs or Macs.
This is needed as the device is so fast, it needs some sort of cooling. We'll show you that in the teardown of course. The unit looks really slick, in an all-new but somewhat bigger and heavier design. The storage solution is stronger, and faster compared to last year’s T5 thanks to an internal NVMe unit. This, by far, is the fastest portable storage ever released to date as puppy is both NVMe and Thunderbolt based, combined with the DNA of NMVe it can reach 2800 MB/sec (!) The X5 makes use of the latest Vertically stacked NAND and one could say, this is Samsungs fastest M2 unit packaged into Thunderbolt. We review the Samsung X5 Portable SSD (1000GB).
