The Samsung PSSD T1 will be available in capacities of 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB. Although the PCB is being redesigned to fit into the PSSD T1’s smaller chassis, Samsung will carry over the same MEX/MGX controller along with the 32-layer 3-bit per cell MLC (TLC) 3D V-NAND found in the Samsung 850 EVO. Internally, the Samsung PSSD T1 utilizes a lot of the same components as the recently introduced Samsung 850 EVO. It also weighs in at about an ounce, so it’s not the heaviest thing in the world either. Physically, the Samsung PSSD T1 is a fairly small device, measuring in at less than 2.8″ long, just over 2″ wide, and 0.36″ deep.

They’re slow, they’re heavy (even the portable ones), and one drop no matter how minor may result in complete data loss. Ultrafast External Storage at Under 1 Ounce
