    I use the Samsung - T5 1TB External USB Type C Portable Solid State Drive with my Apple Macbook Pro store and work well. The fast transfer of my large and numerous files is much appreciated. With the high speed and reliability of the Solid State Drives. Just see price has dropped now. I purchased while price was high :-(

    This is the second Samsung SSD drive that I've purchased. Asa photographer, I need fast transfer and compact sizing, along with dependability. I saw this drive and the price point had dropped, so I moved and picked it up. In my experience, these drives are easy to us, dependable and fast. I'd highly recommend picking one of these up.

    I was looking for an SSD portable hard drive and when this one went on sale, it was the one for me. All online reviews were very good for this T5 drive and it is very fast when connected using the USBC port. I got the 1TB size which doubles my previous portable hard drive when isn't SSD but the older type HHD. Love it so far!

    So happy I got this. Transferred ~ 400GB of data from one USB-C SSD to this one in about 10 minutes. NEVER got hot to the touch the way the other drive did - barely even warm. Humming along fine - just as fast as internal storage with the C to C connection. The footprint of this is what really sold me. Smaller than my front pocket wallet.

    Enough can’t be said about these new Samsung SSD external drives. Purchased this to use with my new 2019 MacBook Pro and works like a charm. Ultra fast, small unit with no moving parts, great companion to any laptop. So far I’ve had no issues and love that it comes with both a usb and usb c cable. Easy to setup and get to use right out the box.

    This drive is fast, super fast. I'm getting transfer speeds nearly 500MB/s with my 2017 Macbook Pro. It's a great drive for trasnferring, backup, and editing 4k video footage. The physical drive size is also incredible with a footprint smaller than a credit card and about 1/2 inch thick. If you need a fast drive for work or backup, do not hesitate to buy these.

    Easy to use and setup. I was searching for portable solution that has plenty of memory in a solid state drive without breaking the bank. I feel the Samsung Portable SSDs checks all the boxes. This portable hard drive has been reliable so far and I like the the speed when compared to other devices from Western Digital and Seagate. I use this devices for transferring work files between home and office computers. I use this for primary music storage and it works efficiently. I'm only giving this 4-stars due to phantom communication issues being experienced on my work laptop. Nothing seems or appears to prevent the unit from working, I get a pop up message each time it is connected.

    This is a great device. It's simple to use and has a password feature to protect my data if I should ever lose it. It gives me peace of mind knowing everything is backed up. Tiny and sleek yet enough storage for my entire laptop and plenty of room to spare.

    Absolutely the fastest USB 3.1 drive out there, also one of the smallest/lightest you can find. I have several other brands of either 1tb or 0.5tb; this is the fastest. Have a much more expensive thunderbolt drive that is the fastest of all, but more than double the price of this drive. No regrets love this drive

    Great little device. Just starting out in product photography and needed additional storage for RAW files and this seems to have been a great investment. Easy set up and compact for keeping on me and accessing photos when needed. Like that it came with two cables for USBC and USB.
