Samsung 1TB T5 is best solution for lots of fast storage. Excellent overall other reviews. Quality, fast, no moving parts to break like external HD. Much faster than thumb drive. Includes all needed cables.

Picked this lil monster up last night for an event, and loaded it with 500gb of videos. I video mixed with Serato Video DJ PRO for 5hrs straight without any issues!
I use a 2017 MacBook Pro. I’ve used lacie and western digital external hds, both have overheated, and seized due to rigorous, nonstop hours of video performances using both thunderbolt and USB-C cables. I highly recommend this unit to all Video DJs 100%

This SSD is really small, so it is perfect for laptops or connecting it to the phone to transfer files and photos. I had games installed on it and they were loading off this SSD, and it never got hot while being used.

I purchased a 256 gigabyte version of this external drive two years ago before a trip to India to backup my digital photo files. It has performed flawlessly. The price of the 1 T drives has come down, and I needed more storage, so I stayed with the Samsung T5. I like the fact that it has both USB C and USB A interface cables. Transfer speeds are excellent, though not NVME fast. The size and ruggedness are both a plus. Very compact and sleek. The included security software is simple and unobtrusive. Excellent product. I wish Samsung did not charge a $20 premium for the red version. It's gorgeous.

I love these, easy to use, unlike some other complex for no reason/faulty externals & very reliable. I’ve had 3 of them for different backup purposes for years and all of them are still going strong with no issues.

Compact, big capacity and lots of different colors to choose from which is great when it comes to items like these because you might them on the go and depending on size is when I’ll determine whether to either leave it at home or not. Works really well!

Small, lightweight, and extremely fast. This is the best external SSD on the market. I edit 4K video on it and there is no lag. I bought the 500GB first but exchanged for the 1TB after I saw the performance. I consistently get 430Mbps read and write. Highly recommend.

I'm thrilled with my Samsung T5 1TB Portable SSD in deep black! Its compact design makes it incredibly convenient to carry my data with me wherever I go. The USB Type-C connection ensures fast data transfers, and I'm amazed by the speed. Whether I'm working on large projects or transferring multimedia files, this SSD handles it all without a hitch. The sleek deep black color adds a touch of sophistication, and the durable build feels reassuringly sturdy. Plus, the security options for password protection give me peace of mind for my sensitive files. It has truly transformed the way I manage and access my data, making it an excellent investment overall.

I got this for my PS5 to store PS4 games, and it's perfect! It runs fast, obviously not as fast as the internal SSD, but it's still great. The large size lets me finally download my extremely large PS4 games, which take up a total of almost 250gb, and store them here. It's great so I don't have to download them again when their upgrades are released. PS5 games you're not playing at the moment can be stored here, but not played off the drive (at least, not yet). This is a perfect solution while we wait for the SSD expansion bay to be unlocked!
One bit of advice - if you're using this on the PS5, make sure to plug it into one of the rear USB slots, as the front one isn't made for external drives.

I purchased this to back-up my Mac, and it works great. This is my first solid-state back-up drive - much smaller and lighter than I expected. The sales guy at BestBuy was great in guiding me through my selection. He told me that this SSD drive does not really have true USB C output and it limits the speed of data transfer, even though it is a USB C slot. I am using Apple Thunderbolt cables to connect it to my Mac - I think it is blazing fast, way faster than I anticipated. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a rapid and small data storage drive.
