My Laptop which is a Dell XPS 15 9570 has a SSD of 1B and I actually bought this for video editing and disk expansion and with its SS 3.0 USB it actually is just as fast as if I had a 2nd disk drive embedded in the laptop and there was no need to R&R the internal SSD to upgrade it to a SSD 2TB drive. Have seen no problems as of yet.

This drive is a great option if you don't have the scratch to go with an external NVME-type SSD. (If you don't know what that is, just look for something priced about 4x as much as this one with about 5x the speed via Thunderbolt instead of USB.) The T5 is reasonably priced for the performance level. Just be sure to use the provided cable because some USB-C charging cables don't do fast data transfer (looking at you, Apple). And don't try and save a few bucks on the WD MyPassport SSD, it's only half as fast as this one.

I have not had this item for very long but so far I’m very happy with my purchase. I’m relatively new to photography and one of the photographers I admire recommend buying it for its reliability and durability. Reliability and durability is very important to me because I travel a lot and typically find myself needing to offload pictures from my SD card (in fear of accidentally losing the data or running out of storage in the middle of a shoot) and editing photos in my downtime while traveling from one location to another. I recommend buying this item.

Blazingly fast hard drive, SSD format is small and easy to store. It is a drive that expands the computer.

Fast, reliable and perfect size. Setup was easy. I use it to backup photos and the speed is amazing, not just for backing up but also viewing thousands of photos.

I got this hard drive for backing up photos for a class I was taking. It’s really light weight and small, and as a solid state drive, should be durable for traveling.

I use this on my old Mac for backing up my 1T of data. I knew it wouldn't provide the performance that I could have with a newer interface vs the old USB2. But the backup goes much faster and when I reboot using the T5, the reboot is so much faster than when I've backed up using the cheaper HDs I have. I'm very pleased with the purchase, and when my old Mac finally gets replaced, the T5 will provide a much faster backup with the faster interface. Pretty expensive but I got it on sale!

This is the second Samsung External Drive I have bought. Both are simple to use and I have had no issues. It is very light and small ... easy to transport.

I love how small, light and compact it is. I can put it in the side of my purse and have it handy whenever I need to clear out the storage on my phone.

excellent device. very portable and fast speed. i like it better than my older extwrnal usb. you will not be unhappy with this purchase

extremely fast, and portable, because of it's small size - and because it is solid state, it is a safer storage device for media files

I hate carrying external disks. But this changed my mind. Transfer Speed is excellent . Using with my macbook and it rocks

This external drive is great. Small and holds more then enough footage to edit when I get home from my travels to edit. I love to edit straight from it because it makes edits go faster.

Works great with PC - MAC - PS5 Very happy with the purchase as the SSD is very reliable and fast.

For the price on blackfriday 2019 excellent deal. Fast I had no issues and it was perfect for file transfers fast and very user-friendly.

Fast and reliable. Needed something to store photos and other files and it does the job. I loved how it includes a usb c to usb c and a usb c to usb A.

Fast Portable And Very Small you can carry anywhere. Compare it close enought to a credit card in size .. super fast file transfer

Very fast ssd. I love Samsung products. The form factor is great with how small it is…put it in your pocket and go.

Compact size, Great performance. Efficient. Samsung is a trusted name in electronics. This Solid State Hard Drive will not disappoint.
