It's small, fast and rugged.
No, we are not talking about Usain Bolt, after being hit by a shrink ray and put inside a protective force field.
We are talking about the Samsung Portable SSD T3 Hard Drive. Full disclosure, Samsung supplied us with this wonderfully small and speedy drive so we could do a full review.
I know, as far as gadgets go - portable SSDs (Solid State Drives) are not the most exciting of things. What the SSD T3 lacks in excitement, it makes up for in practicality. At under 2 ounces and smaller than the length of a business card, yet packing 2TB of storage, the SSD T3 has numerous real word uses.

You Have Moving Parts, So Your Hard Drive Shouldn't
As humans we have all types of moving parts in our body. Sometimes these moving parts bump into things...and drop things. This is precisely why you do NOT want your hard drive to have moving parts.
Standard hard drives have platters, read and write heads...you don't really need to understand what all the parts do, you just need to know they move in precise manners. If you accidentally drop that external hard drive filled with your priceless family photos and videos, there is a good chance the drive head will make contact with the platters and you will lose data.
The Samsung T3 SSD has no moving parts. Like the memory in your smartphone, it is solid state and therefore much better equipped to survive the bumps and bruises of everyday life. The T3 is shock-resistant up to 1500G, meaning it will survive a drop from your hands or off your desk.
