SanDisk planar SSS faster/cheaper than Samsung 48-layer V-NAND......................... Hmmm.... Concluding RemarksThe Samsung Portable SSD T3 is a unique product - it is the only palm-sized bus-powered direct-attached storage unit with a 2TB capacity in the market right now. In addition to the 2TB capacity ( priced at $850), we also have the 1TB, 500GB and 250GB variants at $430, $220 and $130 respectively. The closest competitor to the Samsung Portable SSD T3 is SanDisk's 1.92TB Extreme 900 Portable SSD. At $800, it is a bit cheaper, but has a bigger footprint compared to the T3. The Extreme 900 also comes with a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface and boasts speeds of up to 850 MBps compared to the T3's 450 MBps. These are aspects that we would like Samsung to consider for the next iteration. In a bus-powered enclosure, it is difficult to incorporate PCIe SSDs. However, it would have been really nice to have a faster version to go along with the capacity bump in this generation. The slight retrogression in performance over the T1 is also a small cause for concern. In terms of usage on mobile platforms, it would be nice to have exFAT access capabilities in the Android app. In addition to the provided Type-C to Type-A cable, we would have also liked a Type-C to Type-C cable for the price of the unit. Even though the price per GB ($0.425/GB) is lower than the T1's at launch anandtech.com
