    Awesome SSD! Of note, we own the 500gb and 1tb and with the majority of SSDs, the larger SSD is much faster, talking noticeably faster!

    Works perfectly as my iMac Time Machine back up drive. It does not take up any space and I don't have to worry about the drive failing.

    This solid state drive worked right away and has been working since. The very small size (smaller than a deck of cards) makes it VERY portable. Nice color too!

    Many computers now a days only really have 128 GB or 256 GB. If you plan on working with any type of content (video or picture), it is highly recommended that you get an external storage solution. The Samsung T5 is like the sports cars of external storage. If you pair it with any newer computers that have USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 support, moving pictures, or videos will be a breeze. If you use a standard Hard Drive, it will take so much longer, up to 5 times longer. When you constantly do work with media, the extra money you spend on a drive like this pays itself off with the time you save moving content, and makes your workflow a lot snappier. The SSD has a USB-C port on it, and the box comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, as well as a USB-C to USB-A cable so you will be ready to go wether your computer has the newer USB-C adapter or not.

    I have several of these and have had good luck with them. I like that it comes with USB-C and USB-A cable options included. I use 1 to augment the SSD that came installed in my Mac Mini. It's not as fast as the internal drive, but fast enough that you never notice the difference. I also use them as clone backups for my Mac's. With the newer versions of the OS a spinning disk is WAY TO SLOW to boot from the clone. I've never used the software that comes with them. Seems like I had issues when I tried to use the Samsung encryption.

    This is one nice SSD. The form factor easily allows it to fit in the watch pocket on a pair of jeans. The drive is super fast. Plus the drive allows you to encrypt the data.

    I picked up this drive after watching Youtubers utilize it for content creation and gaming, and am in love. For me it is primarily used to play games on my PS4 Pro (instead of the slower 5400 rpm hard drive), and I have noticed a reduction in load times. More than worth the price, as time adds up waiting for load screens over the course of a year. Any time you can save in this cram-packed day and age will be a win in my book! The USB 3.0 is exactly what is needed for the PS4 Pro as well. Happy playing!
