We love this one! We have used this T1 for a couple of months now and it initializes much faster after plugging it in the Tesla USB port than the USB sticks we used before. This speed is also a great advantage when you transfer your files from your PC or network. It comes with a short fat cable and with its black finish it sort of dissapears between seat and console.
The Portable SSD T1 500GB USB 3.0 Drive from Samsung utilizes a solid-state drive to provide quick access to your data. This drive transfers your files to and from a computer via USB at a rate of up to 450 MB/s. Furthermore, it features USB 3.0 technology that keeps up with the fast transfer speeds this drive offers and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. To store your important files, it offers a storage capacity of 500GB and protects it with AES 256-bit encryption. Since it uses no moving parts, the solid-state drive withstands shock and vibration better, when compared to a typical hard drive. This portable drive is less than 0.4" thick and weights only 0.9 ounces so you can easily carry it in your pocket, purse, or handbag when you need to take it with you.
Please note that this drive is encrypted out of the box and will require you to run the activation software in order to access its full capacity. Software and instructions are preloaded on the drive.
NOTE FOR TESLA USERS: encryption should be disabled in order to work as media drive in your Tesla.
