While some find the price to be a bit high, the positive feedback on other features outweighs this concern. The drive is praised for its simple plug-and-play setup and overall performance.

    It is a lot smaller than the other hard drive storage options. It is more expensive but I think it is money well spent.

    Lightning fast read and write speeds! I bought this for my 2016 MacBook Pro 15 inch. The cable has a USB type C connection on one side or the actual drive, and a regular USB connection on the other to connect to your computer. I use a USB type C adapter to connect to my MacBook Pro. I read and write speeds are super fast!

    Samsung T3 Ext SSD is great. It's VERY fast. I have a Fusion Drive iMac and the T3 is much better and a lot faster. I have two of these...one on each mac in the house.

    I ended up returning it because it was overkill for my use-case, but this drive is ridiculously fast. A 1.5GB movie will transfer (under the right circumstances, mainly a 3.1 connection and decent hardware) in about 2-4 seconds. I could see this as great for media professionals.

    This portable USB is perfect for all applications you need a USB device for. The incredibly fast read / write speeds are very impressive. Once you switch to solid state you won't want to go back to the standard USB flash drives. I highly recommend this.

    So Good yet too expensive

    The only complaint I have is that this drive is way too expensive. It is screaming fast. The claims of speed and even my perceived speed in daily use are even better than I could have hoped for. I use it for musical applications and it works well for that. Much better than lugging around a larger drive. I can't wait until the larger drives (1TB+) come down in price more. Pre-formatted in ExFAT so large files are not an issue and it's both Mac and PC compatible that way.

    Using it with Windows 10 installed on it for MacBook Pro. Blazing fast. Up to 500 MB/s read. Cable comes with USB 3.1 to USB 3.0. Would have been great if it came with a USB 3.1 to USB 3.1 instead and a small pouch.

    This is the fastest USB way to get files into memory. I use it for a keyboard rig as a musician on the go. It loads large samples almost as fast as the internal SSD drive. Highly recommend if you need the speed!

    I bought this drive to use with sampling. I needed a great drive that was dependable and able to be compatible for music with my 2016 Mac with USB type c. Amazing product and fast enough for my needs.

    Units works well in my older USB 2.0 port. Smaller footprint, less power. Replaced a HDD that I had for several years and was starting to get concerns about data stored of the HDD drive.
