    These drives are great! I bought a second one, to run my Native Instruments Komplete library out of. It loads Kontakt instruments at least 3x as fast as the former LaCie Thunderbolt drive I was using. Amazing. I use the first one for library storage as I'm working in Final Cut Pro X. There is very little wait time to rendering - it has always been spot on. Best thing going so far.

    This USB SSD is fast, reliable, and comp[atible with most everything I throw at it from a PC to a Raspberry Pi 4B. I also have a PNY 1 TB SSD and it seems to have trouble when run too long while this Samsung can take as much use as I can throw at it.

    This drive is fast. I'm able to run virtual machines directly in the drive, makes a portable lab much easier. The performance is on par with an internal ssd. Would buy again. Getting the GS certified version was perfect, save some money and get a sweet drive.

    This SSD meets my needs! I use it daily and it’s trucking right along. The only issue is that when I bought it I got a refurbished one and had to reformat to get my laptop to recognize it

    I bought this refurbished. Works out of the box after partitioning. Great investment and incredibly fast. I've ran memory intensive applications off this portable SSD between computers with no problem.

    Used this as an external drive for an xbox one. Works great, but only bought it for aesthetics. any SSD and a usb/sata adapter works as well.
