IDGĬontrary to the artificial benchmarks, the T5’s write performance dropped off in our real-world tests. We offloaded the included management software and reformatted to NTFS for better performance when writing small files. Note that the T5 arrived formatted to exFAT. Our real-world copy tests showed gains over the T3 as well, though a bit more modest. It’s not in real life, but it is still very, very fast. IDGĪS SSD says the T5 is every bit as fast at Kingston’s super-fast internal MLC SATA drive. We’ve seen better scores from an external USB drive only when RAID or PCIe/NVMe is involved. With the exception of random access times, the numbers were as good or better than an internal SATA SSD drive and about 20 percent faster than the T3. After our initial test unit failed to pass muster, Samsung replaced it, and the second set of benchmark results turned our heads. As the major change between the T3 and T5 is the implementation of USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps), let’s first talk about speed.
