The Cost of Being The BOSS! is EFFICIENCY
My honest feedback is that it works great for the devices it is compatible with. I would have loved an interchangeable interface cord that functions with my MacBook, iPhones, and Camera. The speed, durability, and the amount of space for the price are a fantastic deal based on 1TB comparisons. Overall I would recommend it!

Samsung Portable 8tb SSD Is Nice
I bought the Samsung Portable 8 TB SSD because I have a lot of Samsung portable drives, and I wanted a bigger drive for my desktop. I bought two of the Samsung drives. The first one, I keep my files and pictures on. The second one, I use as a backup to the first. The second one I configured as an Apple Time Machine backup. So far, they are working perfectly. When I travel with my laptop, I disconnect my first drive and carry it with me. I didn't want a NAS, and the large desktop drives were too big, and I couldn't take them on trips as easily. I find the speed of the drives to be good for me. I have no complaints.
