Samsung Wireless Streaming Hard Drive Review

As the Wireless aims to make it easier to take your media collection on the go, obviously it needs to be a portable device. And it certainly is.

Weighing just 275g, it would be very easy to connect your smartphone or tablet to the Wireless, drop it in your bag, and then forget about it. It does not weigh much, and certainly not enough to warrant any serious criticism.

Product dimensions also make portability very easy. Coming in at 19.9mm x 89mm x 126.5mm (WxHxD), it is a small and compact drive. You could definitely fit it in a jacket pocket, and maybe even in the back pocket of your jeans.

Presumably to keep the Wireless light, though, Samsung have made the portable drive entirely from plastic. The top looks like brushed metal, but it is still plastic. This means it does not feel very premium, unlike the stylish TSST TB100PA portable charger we reviewed last month.

However, this is not a huge concern. It still looks fairly sleek, with a simple rectangular design. If you will take the Wireless out on the go, chances are it will be in a bag anyway, so the plastic build really does not matter too much.

In terms of the included connectivity ports, there is one USB port for charging your phone, a microUSB 3.0 port to charge and transfer data to the Wireless, and an on/off switch.
