    Drive worked very well. Already own the 500gig version and went to purchase this one as well. Packaging is great with good quality cables. Ultimately returned as I needed a larger drive, but would definitely purchase this again

    I bought this to record footage from my Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. The SSD has no issues handling RAW format as well as high frame rate. Highly recommended for any BMPCC 4K owners. The transfer rate is amazing. Editing off of the drive is also flawless.

    Love my little external drive. Great for data storage when you just need a little bit more space or if you need mobile data to pick up and go with you whenever you leave the house. You can't go wrong with these portable SSD's!

    A lot smaller than I imagined to be honest. However, it does it's job and it does it well. I use this to carry games when using my work laptop (Don't tell them that...) and I pair it with my eGPU so I got gaming to do while at work.

    I had a 1st gen Seagate USB 3.0 backup drive that was 1 tb, so no size increase here, but there is a very obvious increase in performance, my transfer rates are blazing fast compared to that old Seagate USB 3,9ll

    Very happy with this drive. As my macbook has only 500gb of HD, I use it to offload RAW photos and videos when traveling. The size of this is so small it can fit almost anywhere. My only wish was they actually add a retractable USB-C cable to it. That'd make this 6 stars!

    I am using this as an extension to my MacBook pro's 512G ssd and the performance is very good. It also has an inbuilt encryption that helps to safeguard the data stored. Easy to update the firmware and the application. Good purchase.

    I bought the 1 TB Samsung SSD T5. I used the drive to backup my iMac computer. The backup went seamlessly in a reasonably short time. No issues installing this external drive and it functioned perfectly.

    Impressively fast for keeping my RAW photos and Lightroom catalog. Connects with USB C to a mac mini or a MacBook for editing where ever I am. Very pleased. It also stays cool if plugged in for a long time.

    Very fast SSD! Got this for more space on my 2015 Retina MacBook Pro. Read instantly by system, was transferring files in no time. Nice secure connection. Speed is almost the same as the internal SSD. Happy with this!

    I needed a one stop spot to store all of my images, work projects and music onto for safe storage and this works very well. It allows me to keep most of my most needed files close by without the need for an SD card that can get lost on the go.

    Great drive for the space. Reads and writes fast dependent on the bus hooked up to it. Highly recommend for USB 3.0. I use it as a backup drive for my PS4 in which the size allows it to be hidden sneakily away in the back.

    I bought this because solid state drives are supposed to last. Time will tell. I'm really impressed with the speed! I record and mix music. I transfer large music files from Pro Logic in a breeze. If it lasts as advertised, it's a great choice!

    Bought this to expand my son’s PS5 storage. Very easy to set up and use. So far we haven’t had any problems or issues. Couldn’t believe how small it is. I am thinking of buying another one for myself.

    Chasing data storage is unending. Moving data from floppies, cd and thumb drives is driven by the cpu evolution and reconfiguration. This device is plug and play and hopefully will suffice for a long duration since USB peripherals should stay through the miniaturization of cpu systems. This device's ease of use, flexibility (should work on smart TV(s) if storing pictures and videos), portability and size makes it ideal system for keeping valuable records, sharing memories and entertainment media.
