    I am very happy with the speed and efficiency of this new drive that was installed by the GEEK SQUAD, they are excellent in the information and service they gave to us. Plus, we are very satisfied with the Tech Plan we purchased for Web Root. This will take care of our computers and our cell phone. Thank you Best Buy!

    I bought this drive for my bmpcc 6k and it is so much more convenient than using CFAST cards. It transfers data quickly and I can connect it right to my MacBook and edit directly from it if I have to quickly edit something and don't have time to transfer all of the footage over. Makes shooting video a breeze with this camera.

    I had been thinking "what would happen if my computer crashes and I lose all of my data and photos". I decided it was time to get something to back up my drive. None of us wants to spend extra money, but consider it insurance. This is so small and convenient. So easy to use. I am so glad I bought it. I highly recommend it to all!

    As a filmmaker, storage is a necessity. I shoot with heavy codecs that take up a lot of space, so after purchasing several 500gb T5 SSD's, I decided to buy one of these to save some Thunderbolt 3 ports on my touchbar macbook pro. The speed of USB 3.1 Gen 2 is really quick, so I quickly found an appreciation for this drive. Highly would recommend for anyone with compatibility of Gen2 speeds or faster.

    I purchased this SSD drive to up my PS4 gaming experience. And man oh man did it push things to another level. The installation was relatively easy and an excellent ad on to my PS4 gaming system. Excellent quality for the money. All in all, it is faster and kicks the gaming experience to another level of speed and access. I highly recommend this product.

    Install was truly plug and play. FIle writing has been really fast, especially compared wiht my older portable spinners. Only downside is that the write speed is constrained by the read speed of the originating drive. That's NOT a problem with the Samsung. Highly recommend!!!
