    I haven't needed it for a whole lot just yet, but it is SO fast. It also worked without issues going from a Mac to a PC. Came with two types of connectivity cords- usbA and usbC so that's useful. It's also the size of the palm of your hand. Not a huge tech person, but I am very satisfied with my purchase. I got this as a deal-of-the-day for $130. Bought a case separately.

    Needed an external SSD because my external hard drive was too slow and always gave me an error whenever I tried to eject it. But now with this Samsung SSD does not give me those errors. Also, the Samsung drive is much more reliable; transferring files is quick. Runs nice and cool when loading/running games (Apex Legends, COD MW, and Fortnite.)

    This is an amazingly small and fast hard drive. Be aware if you encrypt the drive with the included samsung software you will need to install that software on whatever device you want to decrypt it with. I am using it as an external drive to store media files and it has worked great. I have used it with PC's running windows. I have not tried to connect to my phone.

    The Samsung external solid state hard drive is truly a great external to store my files on. Because it has no moving parts- there is less chance of losing your data. I was able to use it on my Mac computer without any formatting and was able to give to my son and he was able to use it immediately on his windows computer. It comes with a USB cord and also a Type C newer connection cord.

    I've owned several different portable storage drives over the past few years, and none of them were as portable as this Samsung T5. This thing is tiny! But most importantly, the read and write speeds for this device met my expectations. Don't know what else to say. If you are looking for a portable SSD, then look no further. Just get this.

    Bought this drive a little while back and I have been using it regularly on my MacBook Pro to store all my photos and my Lightroom catalog. Currently looking to pick up another one for my video projects. Great drive, never had a single issue and it comes with me everywhere because of how small and lightweight it is. Highly recommend it.

    This was just what needed to store all of my musical sessions from ProTools. It has so much space and I'm able to save everything I had created and still have about 650 Gbs left over. The actual drive is so small and slim, that it fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Love the sleek black look as well. Two thumbs up!
