    Swallows huge numbers of photos almost instantly and makes them appear on PC quick as a wink. Once you go SSD it's unthinkable to go back if you're working with large files. With small files, you better not blink because they appear instantly. Jim

    The pictures can be deceiving because it looks bigger than the actual picture. The size is very portable and I love it because I can take it anywhere. It's not too small and not too big. Solid state is always good so my main concern was the size.

    This 1TB ssd drive is fast and efficient. It works very well with my Blackmagic camera. It has space for a few hours of high-quality footage. It is very quick and editing is easy. I recommend it highly.

    Got this for extra storage for the Series X. Works well with it and transfers game extremely fast. Also got a 8TB HDD also to hold and play games that don't need to play off of the internal SSD.

    This was the perfect purchase to bring along on an extended vacation so I could save my hundreds of photos to it and back them up while on the road. Small, compact, light and easy to carry from stop to stop.

    I personally used this Solid State Drive for my steam gaming (If you install your steam folder onto an external hard drive, you can bring steam with you where ever you go! Lol sounds like an ad, but it's true, and I had no problem running games straight from this Solid State Drive, and it never got hot or even warm; which means it will work great for just about anything.

    I needed a fast backup drive to do a complete backup of my Mac prior to upgrading the OS to Big Sur. The Samsung T5 1TB SSD did the trick at a reasonable price, and is easily storable in a desk drawer.

    I am currently using this as an external hard drive for my Xbox one X and I must say the games load so much faster. You're not getting the storage space you can get with a normal hard drive but I'd rather have the speed.

    Excellent speed writing and reading. One oddity, it mounts as a Folder, not a USB external device (Windows 10). There is no "eject" option. A little hesitant to just disconnect it. Maybe that's normal for very large storage devices?

    Great design and form factor for an external drive. It worked right out of the box with my Mac. I liked the fact that it came with two cables: USB-C and regular USB. So no adapters needed anywhere!

    Wayyyyy faster than my Samsung USB flash drive or Western Digital Passport Hard Drive. Took about a minute to transfer 50 GB of data. Why didn't I get this sooner? Also Android friendly.

    Works great. Bought a smaller one previously but wanted more room. Maybe not meant to hold computer games but we use it for that and haven’t had any problems

    These drives have been a lifesaver for video editing. Dumps to and from drive are lightening fast and I definitely have noticed and increase in how quickly I can work with files on these drives in Premiere vs. a typical disk drive.

    I bought this to replace an external hard drive that wasn't even a year old but was making a clicking sound. Samsung did not disappoint with the portable ssd. It is very fast and durable.

    Fast enough to run your os off of. I think that says a lot. smaller than a 2.5" drive and USB 3 is lightning fast. They are expensive but if you need this kind of speed and capacity it's the way to go.
