Mumbai: Samsung India Electronics on Thursday announced the launch of Samsung Portable SSD T3—a premium, palm-sized, external solid-state drive (SSD) that offers multi-terabyte (TB) storage capacity.
Equipped with Samsung’s proprietary Vertical NAND (V-NAND) and SSD TurboWrite technology, the T3 drive provides advanced performance, enabling consumers, content creators, business and IT professionals, to quickly and easily store and transfer large multimedia content across a variety of devices.
Representing a major step forward for external, mobile storage, SSDs offer a truly dependable and versatile solution. Samsung is leading the market by offering a new 2TB T3 SSD, along with a wide range of capacity options including 250GB, 500GB and 1TB.
The benefit of the new Portable SSD T3 is the blazing-fast read/write speeds that facilitate quick transfer of data. Users can easily manage their password settings on the move.
The security features of the drive also make it among the safest in the world. With 256 bit hardware encryption, the T3 is safer than keeping your money in a bank.
The Portable SSD T3 saves users precious time with extremely fast read/write speeds, enabling users to plug in and quickly grab their work to present to prospective clients or partners.
The drive comes with sequential read/write speeds of up to 450 megabytes per second (MB/s) with a USB 3.0 super speed interface—up to 4X faster than external HDDs.
With just one user-set password, the drive is safe from unwanted access, due to AES 256-bit hardware encryption.
The drive is designed for portability; it can withstand bumps and drops and users do not need to worry about the wear and tear of moving parts that can result in lost or corrupted data.
It has a metal body with a shock resistant internal frame. It is shock resistant up to 1,500G and resistant up to 2-meter drop test. It has a thermal guard, which efficiently manages workload to prevent overheating.
Featuring an adopted USB 3.1 Type C connection, the T3 is compatible with a wide range of USB supported devices, including the latest Android smartphones and tablets, and computers with Windows or Mac OS.
Users can send data from the T3 to a PC and vice versa, access content on the T3 through mobile devices, and view the drive’s multimedia content on large-screen devices such as TVs.
T3 uses exFAT, a widely adopted file system, as its default file recognition format to create a seamless user experience. T3 also works with a brand-new complementary Samsung Portable SSD Android mobile app, which supports password changes and remaining capacity checks.
The drive has a simple set-up process for users, with one user-set password. The drive is equipped with AES 256-bit hardware encryption for the high level of security and protection across Windows, Mac and Android OS based devices. Even if the drive should fall into the wrong hands, the data stored on it would be inaccessible.
The new Portable SSD T3 will go on sale from 21st March, 2016. The price will be Rs 10,999 for 250GB, Rs 18,999 for 500GB, Rs 37,999 for 1TB, and and Rs 74,999 for 2TB.
The device will be available at retail stores as well as leading online stores, including Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal.
