    Got this drive to store my evervexpanding iTunes and photo library. After formatting the drive for the MacOS everything worked great. So much faster than my previous hard disk drives. Looking for speed and reliability - so far so good.

    I love the size and speed which I rely on when working with large files such as photos and the like. I will buy another but larger Samsung external drive in the near future.

    Needed storage for videography work that I do but didn't want to lug around a bulky hard drive. This thing is way smaller than I imagined but in a good way. Good value overall.

    For only $25 more, you can get the T7, which has basically double the speed, but this works just as well. It is easy to use, comes with the two cables you may need and is my daily workhorse.

    Great hard drive. This is my first SSD drive. I’m surprised at how small and light it is compared to the non SSD drives I’ve had in the past. As far as noise, there is non.

    Fantastic speed on my iMac.

    I have an iMac internal 5400 rpm drive that was too slow to use with the latest versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Instead of paying for a replacement drive I purchased this to set up as the startup drive and the internal as an extra drive. After reformatting and installing the latest Big Sur OS I installed new copies of Photoshop and Illustrator. WOW! Startup times are at least 10 faster with no lag in running the aforementioned programs. Best purchase I've made! If it were not for Big Sur requiring a check of the internal drive before switching control to the external, startup would be around 10 secs., maybe less.

    Must go with the SSD drives over the standard drives and this Samsung works great. Recommend reformatting the drive when opening it to get rid of any software on it for a more reliable drive. Very small and compact to take on the go.

    Super fast and super convenient! A backup (or storage) device you can carry anywhere. And it comes with two cables, so there's compatibility with both newer and older USB-enabled devices.

    My video game system has been out of space for several months and I finally git around to purchasing this SSD. Works very well and is much faster than a regular hard drive. Well worth the price!

    When you need storage for pictures, large files, or any large program, this thing will do the job. Small and compact, it doesn't require a bookshelf to hold it. Price is right too.

    This is a great drive, very similar to its older brother, you won't notice a difference in speeds. The t5 is an extremely capable, compact drive, doesn't get hot either!
