The Fast SSD does come with certain value-add features like dead-simple backup and sync software, and the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. If the Fast SSD and the SanDisk Extreme Portable are within $5 - $10 of each other, the value additions could help tilt the choice in favor of the former. As it stands, the 1TB version of the SanDisk Extreme Portable is very attractively priced at $0.23 / GB. Compared to the Samsung T5, it boasts equivalent performance with a lower price and an IP55 rating.
Though it might not be as fast as some of the other portable SSDs we've reviewed, the Seagate still boasts good performance that will suit pretty much any consumer or media professional need. It is also very affordable, has a reliable build and will sit nice and pretty alongside a workstation.
