Design Story

In the past, a ‘storage’ was akin to an immovable object that
required users to store data at a designated location and
access it only within the bounds. Nowadays, the value of
storage is defined by safety and its capacity to be ‘fast and
organic’. In an age when users have countless options for
storage, the Samsung Portable SSD T Series best embodies
this very value through foolproof function and design.
The SSD is smaller than the size of your palm, which makes
it utterly lightweight, and the comfortable UX design gives
life to incredible functionality. On top of that, it has technical
stability. We can now carry in our pockets the epitome
of all that is required for storing and recording data
in this day and age.

External Storage

The Samsung Portable SSD T Series is a portable SSD storage
device that is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
It is also sturdier and faster than external storage devices
that have been previously widely in use. The device has been
manufactured using flash memory that can keep the data
safe even when the device is dropped on the floor, and also
boasts a high level of data security due to a hardware-based
encryption module. As the first pioneers to envision the
category of the ‘portable SSD’ itself, Samsung Electronics
further established this unique brand by once again setting
the bar with state-of-the-art design for the ‘T Series’.

    The T1 focuses on the value of being ‘portable’, and has been
    designed to be lightweight and pocket-size using plastic
    material. This storage device showcases a sturdy and
    fashionable look with its cone-shaped exterior,
    three-dimensional pattern, and Black Chrome two-toned
    design.

    Pocket Mobility

    The T3 exudes an aura of toughness and strength from its
    exterior by using metal and plastic that has been applied
    with rubber spray. We ran countless tests to find the ideal
    size (74*58*10.5mm, 51g) that can provide a sense of trust
    and compactness at the same time. We made it slightly
    bigger than the T1 to eventually find the perfect ‘Pocket
    Mobility’ size that can effortlessly fit into your handkerchief
    pocket.

    Metal Minimalism

    The T5 uses metal materials to boost its premium image and
    wears a blue coat that gives off a bright and cool vibe. Colors
    for the 250GB and 500GB devices are in blue, and large
    capacity devices that go over 1TB are colored in black. The
    device has been developed to be faster, and is also able to
    eliminate any emission of heat even after utilizing metal
    materials. Furthermore, a USB Type C port has been
    implemented to ramp up usability and gives the option to
    connect to the latest devices.

T5,
A Storage Device
Imbued with
Uniformity and
Comfort

When users purchase external storage devices or portable
SSDs, they base their purchases on a device’s data capacity,
speed, and durability. However, just as the hardware
technology for portable SSDs advanced greatly over the years,
the software technology in the form of UX design has become
an important factor for evaluating a user’s heightened brand
experience when using the device, not purchasing it.
Samsung Electronics completely renewed the uniform UI and
usability that comes from the exterior of the T5 to provide
comfort through high product quality and stability.

    Straightforwardness that
    Comes from Simplicity

    Since information security is crucial for a storage device, it
    must provide an easy and straightforward UI to its users.
    Complicated interfaces and unnecessary screens only serve
    to obstruct and hinder a user from understanding the product.
    The T5’s UX design moves away from the previous
    conversational interface type and has simplified the interface
    flow by decreasing the page numbers. All pages of the UI have
    been unified into a single format, which allows for better
    understanding even after the screen switches to another
    page. Descriptions for each function have been added on the
    top to enhance clarity in conveying information.

  2. A Consistent Design Identity

    A unified design instills peace and comfort for a user and also
    increases product familiarity. The all-new T5’s UX also carries
    a single analogous tone and manner for its design. We
    deviated from a monotonous look by adding a touch of blue
    to the trustworthy shade of dark gray. We also included a
    sense of movement that reacts to user input in the UX,
    and lastly, maintained the central identity of a Samsung
    product by incorporating the SamsungOne Font. The icons
    have also been newly developed with the Samsung Portable
    SSD brand identity in mind so that they can be used again in
    next generation products in the future.

    Any Device You Want

    The UX of the T5 has been designed with the expansion of the
    device and its surrounding user environments in mind. An
    identical UX is supported through various platforms from
    Windows, MacOS, to Android, and this UX also provides a
    consistent experience in many different user environments
    such as smartphones, tablets, PCs, etc. Therefore users can
    comfortably make use of the T5 anytime, anywhere. *iOS not supported

A Vessel for Living Information

We are living in an era where information storage devices
have moved its location from within the PC to the surface of
your desk, and then again to the outside world wherever
users go. A vessel that stores such living and breathing
information must also carry the same vigor of life. This is a
vault that alleviates all the hardware and software
discomforts of existing external storage devices and can also
be entrusted with valuable information. The Samsung
Portable SSD T Series has been designed to be this very
device that stores more than just data, but also the future of
storage itself.
