    I bought this not so much because it's portable, as that it is reliable. I can depend on it. I'm using it in tandem with my NAS for full Time Machine backups for my MacBook Pro. Set it and forget it, it just works, and works well. My reasoning for example, is that if perchance we had to evacuate during a natural disaster, it's a backup that I can just grab and go.

    I bought this specifically to run more demanding games on my Xbox One X, and it works beautifully. The read/write speed is clearly more than double the internal HDD, and the USB 3.0 port is not a bottleneck compared to the internal SATA connection. Long story short: games load faster. Assets, resources, textures all stream/load faster. Games run better. Especially demanding expansive open world games.

    This is a small Portable Solid State Drive. I purchased this to make the transferring of info from my old HP computer to the new HP computer. It was a breeze to do, didn't lose any files or important data in the process. This "compact" external drive is capable of holding a lot of information, pictures, etc.

    Portable, quick, easy to use, but a little to expensive. I have one on a ps4 pro and one going on a ps5. I’ve not used them much but I have moved everything off the ps4 pro to this sad and it does great.

    I bought one T5 1 TB to use with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema camera (based on other reviews) and it works very well and at a good price. The size is also convenient and can easily be mounted to the camera without taking much room. The drive came with two short cables. I’m very satisfied and I plan to get another T5 drive. On a separate note I found that the Samsung T7 does not work with the Blackmagic camera.
