    I remember when I first seen this hard drive, it made me realize I am old. I became so accustom to devices that were gigantic or clunky. Felt heavy and fragile at the same time. This... It's compact, silent, only needs one cable, and is extremely fast. My go to for sure and my 2nd one.

    Works great as game storage for my Xbox Series X. Please note this will not run dedicated Series X games, you'll have to move them to internal storage to run. But it's much nicer than the 'spinning disk' varieties and loads games much faster otherwise. I have this in addition to the proprietary 1GB card made for the Series X/S so I can dedicate this to legacy games that will run from a regular external drive. I also like that it's silent and doesn't require a separate power supply, compared to the spinning disk drive I replaced it with

    Purchased to move LOTS of large files from desktop to server and bypass a slow network connection. Moved files from windows to a linux smb server after finishing projects WAY faster than the network would allow. Moved over 100 TB of projects, data & files with zero glitches. Very happy with this product.

    This is a great little external solid state hard-drive. It's physically smaller than your more traditional hard-drives with moving parts. I am using it as a time-machine to back up my MacBook Pro, and it's fast and does the job. I will only buy SSDs from here on out.

    Bought this last October (2020) to use for video capture with my 4K camera. Very lightweight — plugs firmly into the camera (USB-C) and does not strain the cable. Great SSD. Recorded hours and hours on it already without a single issue. Really easy to transfer from camera to Mac.

    This little is solid...state that is. It’s my first SSD and I love it. Lightning fast transfer makes editing 4K video a breeze. Side-by-side comparison, older drives froze up, this ones breezed through. Not for storage, but for a working hard drive, can’t be beat.

    Amazing and extremely fast SSD through the USB-C connection. I used mine to work large files from (such as with Maya and After Effects) and also to play games on Steam, GoG, Epic. It is very small, compact, and portable, slightly smaller than a credit card.

    Can't say I've seen the full write speed these advertise, but they worked great for streaming hi-res 60Hz video uncompressed straight to disk, are tiny, and rugged. The USB-C port has a satisfying click when the cable plugs in. Comes with both USB-C <-> USB-C and USB-C <-> USB-A cables (both fairly short).

    Bought this so I could do local HD clone. It's an amazingly small, compact device so it doesn't take up much desk space. Runs really fast, especially if you connect to a Thunderport but you need to buy the special cable to get the high speed. Overall, I'm very pleased.

    Unbelievably small drive that is very convenient for travel. I use it as a backup of my computer so I am able to travel with all of my essential files with me. The drive was a touch slower than I had hoped it would be but not so terribly so that I felt the need to return it.

    Excellent hard drive! My PS5 immediately detected it and it’s been rock solid. Super fast and loads PS4 games faster than my PS4 pro did with a regular HDD. This SSD is so small and hides right behind the PS5.

    This replaced a failed hard drive and so far this thing has been flawless. I have dropped it countless times and it still works great because there are no moving parts. It’s only half the size of my previous hard drive and it is very light. I love how sturdy this item is and I am definitely going to buy another one.

    I use this thing to give me the capability to work on video projects between work and home. All my external drives prior to this one were Lacie Rugged Hard Drives. Made a decision to go with Solid State and have no complaints. A little surprised at the size. It's tiny. But, it's fast and dependable.

    After 2 western digital external drive failures in a year I bit the bullet and went ssd. Setup was a breeze, didn’t even have to initialize it. Very small so it doesn’t occupy much desk space. Very fast and since it’s ssd there’s no noise.

    Samsung 1TB SSD - Wish it worked with my Router

    I bought this to use it as a shared network drive attached to my Netgear router. Unfortunately the drive was not recognized at all - and I had to return the unit. I do not know whether this a problem only with the NetGear router or you may face the same issue with other routers as well. I truly wished that the Unit will work -- as the unit is very fast, robust and handy for use directly with laptops.
