    You plug it in. It works. Fast enough for most, I should think. Is there really anything else to say.

    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.

    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.

    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.
