    I purchased this SSD for use with video editing projects which require a lot of memory. So far so good. It operates very fast and even with the files I have stored so far, I still have A LOT of space left.

    Solid State Drive with USB-c and USB connectors

    Wonderful external drive. Backups are very fast when done with a solid state drive. The size is very small and it is quick. My only reservation is making a USB from the USB-C by using only a plug put on the USB-C cord. I wish for the price that Samsung had used 2 cords or let me fill out a warranty for the needed other cord. The adapter will get lost in my house. A cord to put the USB on would not be lost.

    I haven’t had it long, so can’t comment on its longevity of work life, but it is a very fast, compact drive. Works well for my need - which is to supplement the storage capacity of my laptop.

    Tiny little joker. Plugged right in and saved all of the stuff clogging up my computer drive. Also held a good video project on here. Will need to go back for a bigger one soon.

    Very simple to load. Nice compact size. A bit pricey certainly against a RW drive these days, but I’ve had too many of those go bad to go there again.

    I use mines for an external storage for my Xbox One. Works great and I like that it’s small and light. Doesn’t take up much room and it’s USB powered so those are all good things to me.

    Zippy external drive for Mac backups; this solid state drive is incredible. Does what it's supposed to do and won't take up too much space in a backpack, bag, briefcase.

    I bought this drive to be the source for my digital music server. It is my understanding that ssds are quicker and electronically quieter than HDD. This seems to be true in my case.

    I have 3 WD passport external hard drives that each of them have quit working. One I totally lost all my photos it said bad partition and couldn't recover the photos. So I went with this Samsung SSD T5 and so far I love it! The transfer of photos from an SD card in my computer to the Samsung external hard drive is so amazingly fast. No fan noise or rattling while transferring. The only thing I worry about is I'm going to lose the tiny thing! Will have to get a bag for it. Getting it on sale helped make it even nicer
