    These are reliable and fast. Very handy as an alternate boot drive on Macs with Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C.

    I purchased the Samsung - T5 1TB External USB Type C Portable Solid State Drive from Best Buy a few weeks ago and i am using it as a start up drive on my iMac computer. This drive is amazing. It would take anywhere from 2 to 3 minutes to start and load all my stuff on my desk top. Now with this new drive 30 seconds and ready to use. All my software programs like Photoshop and Lightroom are now instant access. Everything works so much faster. Would highly recommend this product, 5 stars all day long.

    I needed large storage in a small space. This exceeded my need. The SSD is compact, no moving parts, and is idiot proof.

    So glad I switched to an SSD back up drive. It’s super fast and has a ton of storage space. No regrets here.

    I’m using this for my Xbox One X and find that it significantly improves load times and texture pop-in on Forza Horiza 4 and Call of Duty Cold War. Word of advice: Be cautious when using the back USB port. I found that the back ventilation warms up the USB port. I’ve moved it to the front USB and problem solved. SSD can warm up so standing it up would be ideal for long gaming.
