    I originally had the 500 gb but returned for the 1tb for my Xbox one x. It works great for extra storage and it’s fast noticeably faster then the stock Internal HD.

    I have owned this (1TB) about a month now. I mainly use it for extra storage on my Xbox Series S console. I must say. It is very fast and the form factor is also compact. It’s about the size of a debit card. I was going to pick up the T7 instead. But no use buying a faster one since the interface of the console is only USB 3.1

    I love this ssd .. it works alot faster and I have an ample amount of space to save all my work. The speed was amazing watching how it handles a large quantity with simply no effort. Comes with 2 attachments that connect it to a phone or the pc. And it is a good name brand. I hope it out does it's performance later on. But so far it's good.

    It bothers me that they have created​ a password-protected software in order to safeguard the contents of the hard drive, but that same passworded software does not allow you to take your external hard drive out anywhere and use in any other computer unless that computer has the Samsung software attached to it. That's one of the reasons I gave it a four. The other reason is that Samsung updated its software and the update locked me out of the hard drive the same day I needed to download a video I edited at the Church computer. It was quite a bad experience.
