    this device is very very small. It is also very fast assuming you use it with the proper version of USB port.

    I used this as a drive to Install Steam games on. I moved 647 GB with no issues at all and since then have downloaded more to the drive. Doesn't heat up much and has a nice size to it. Its not too big or too small. I have other Samsung ssds and this one doesn't work with Samsung magician for whoever uses that. It will say that the device is not supported, however the device works 100% because Samsung magician is not a requirement.

    I had a project that I needed to edit on my iMac using FCPX. I had really large files that would take up too much room (approx. 450GB). I tried using my 4TB G drive, but it was too slow for editing purposes. I finally gave in and bought this Samsung T5 and I am glad I did. The speed and work flow was seamless as though I was working with my internal drive. Not once did my project crash and everything worked perfectly.

    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.
