Samsung’s Portable Series External Hard Drive is a high-performance external hard drive that supports USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. Unlike conventional desktop disk drives, the Portable Series drive makes it possible for you to instantaneously add greater storage capacity to your system without having to take the computer apart. The drive comes fully partitioned and pre-formatted in NTFS format so you can instantly access the drive by simply plugging it into your computer through a USB port.

The drive has a small blue light on it to indicate successful PC connection and the light flashes when data on the drive is being accessed. Although the drive can be used without the need for any additional software, it comes pre-loaded. The software supports various functions including  backup, file / folder security, drive diagnostics, partition setup, and power management settings. Of course, standard Windows software and tools can be used instead of or as well as the Samsung-branded software if preferred.The drive has a black  textured finish on the top surface and is piano black gloss around the sides. It has a durable matt black underside stability and acoustic insulation. A USB 2.0 cable is included. Because it uses a 2.5 inch (laptop-sized) hard drive inside the enclosure, its dimensions are small, it operates quietly, robustly and remains cool to the touch during operation. The drive will work perfectly well if it is connected to a USB 2.0 port on your PC, but it will transfer data around ten times more quickly if a USB 3.0 port is used inste
