Samsung MU-PA500B/AM

The Samsung MU-PA500B/AM is a portable solid-state drive that delivers 500 GB of fast storage in a slim metal enclosure. Built around a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C interface, it reaches speeds up to 540 MB/s for reading and 515 MB/s for writing, so tasks like moving 4K video footage, raw photo libraries, or large project files finish quickly instead of dragging on.

Inside, Samsung pairs its MGX controller with V-NAND MLC flash, a combination that balances speed, endurance, and low power draw. Hardware-level AES 256-bit encryption adds a layer of security without slowing transfers, and an optional password keeps private data locked down. Because the drive has no moving parts and can withstand drops from up to two meters, it is ready for daily commutes, field shoots, or cross-country flights.

Samsung includes both a USB-C to C cable and a USB-C to A cable, letting you plug straight into newer laptops, tablets, and phones or into legacy desktop ports without hunting for adapters. Content creators who need a scratch disk, professionals who back up presentations on the go, and students who want a reliable home for class projects will all find the T5 a practical companion.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
