Alternative SSD drives available that offer built-in security include the iStorage 256GB which is available for £239. The T3 is available for around £120 for the 250GB version, £185 for the 500GB version, £360 for the 1TB version, or £596 for the 2TB version, which makes it quite good value for money compared to other SSD drives with built-in security. There was no loss of performance whether the drive was password protected or not. Using USB 3.0 we were able to get very quick speeds, significantly quicker than USB 2.0. We ran the T3 drive through CrystalDiskMark software using USB 2.0 and 3.0. If password encryption is enabled you need to enter the password in the Samsung software (on the drive) before you can access the data. The T3 drive comes ready to plug in and use, but you can also use the software which is on the drive to enhance the functionality, change the name of the device, view the serial number, and setup a password for secure data encryption. The drive comes with a USB cable that is 45cm long, which is plenty for a laptop, but could be a little short for a PC. The T3 comes with a new Android mobile app to securely manage content - so that you can use the drive with an Android smartphone, tablet or laptop if you have the right cable or a USB socket on your device.
SSD stands for Solid State Drive, and this, in layman's terms, means it uses flash memory chips to store data, which means that there are no moving parts, and access to data is much quicker than with traditional physical hard drives.
The T3 is available for around £120 for the 250GB version, £185 for the 500GB version, £360 for the 1TB version, or £596 for the 2TB version. The Samsung Portable SSD T3 is a 1TB (roughly 1000GB) portable SSD hard-drive with high transfer speeds of up to 450MB/s when using USB 3.0, with a metal case with shock-resistant internal frame, and password protection.
