    Our digital storage needs are growing on a daily basis thanks to an increasing number of photos, higher resolution video and a voracious appetite for apps. But as you store more of data, the need for faster transfers also arises. That's where faster USB 3.0 comes in.Paired with a USB 3.0 port, a USB 3.0 storage device like an external hard drive or flash drive can copy multiple gigabytes of data in a few minutes. The problem with hard drives though, is that they're fairly bulky . You can't move them around too much while in operation either -they're delicate that way.Samsung is looking to address the problem with the T1 SSD.

    It's an external storage solution that's positively tiny -smaller than a credit card and about the thickness of a stack of 10 credit cards. And it weighs next to nothing too -just 30 grams. The casing is plastic but looks smart thanks to laser pattern etching and black chrome. Samsung is using 3D V-Nand flash technology because the T1 has been designed for speed.And it is blazing fast. Another massive advantage the T1 offers is that it can be used with any phone that has USB host functionality . Think about that for a second: you can add 1TB of storage to your phone! Even with a phone that has a USB 2.0 port, we got write speeds of 30 Mbps while regular dual USB drives were doing 7 Mbps. On a computer with USB 3.0, your write speeds will vary between 150 to 200 Mbps. So in a nutshell, it's tiny, fast, secure and packs a punch. If you can afford the price, there's no better portable storage solution.
