    This product has given me the opportunity to expand my game collection on my gaming computer. The device is very easy to attach to your computer and is very portable. The quality is also great, very solidly built.

    I guess other than the T7s these are the best drives around. SSD changes your life. I have 15+ of these for work and personal. I use them everyday all the time, I’ve had no issues. Highly recommend

    The very best; I have never had a problem with its performance - or reliability - or appearance and fit. I have several and none have ever let me down at all.

    Love this thing. Perfect for my PS5. A very reasonable priced SSD for my PS5 and it slips behind the PS5 for perfect storing. Can’t go wrong if you need this for your new gen console

    It very compact and performance is excellent. Comes formatted to exFAT by default but if cross compatability with MacOS is not an important format this to NTFS for best performance especially with small file transfers with Windows/Linux.

    I was looking for a quick, portable, and easily storable drive. This product is everything I was looking for. I would highly suggest buying this. Don't settle for a lesser price product. Spend the money.

    Remarkable upgrade for my aging iMac. Using this as a boot drive on USB 3.1 and basically makes my machine feel like new again. Can't imagine if i had USB C! Very happy with speed and no problems after about 4 weeks.

    Drive was more expensive than I wanted, but it has done very well. No complaints. A setting has to be changed for the whole drive to be formatted as "read & write" but with that done the drive just sits there and works.

    I use these for live music storage for samples for soft synth. Super fast, very stable, no issues with data transmission during a gig. I have 3 of them, one for computer backup and one for soft synth backups.

    My hard drives kept on crashing and lost lot of data till I switch to Samsung SSD. Worth every penny, and very realiable for storing data over a period of time. The price is great with Best Buy!

    I've read reviews for this over the years and it has consistently been rated among the best. I've had many different brands of hard drives including Lacie, G-Drive, Seagate and WD. I use them primarily to backup my MacBook Pro. This Samsung is by far the fastest and smallest hard drive I've used. The new MacBooks only have USB-C inputs and this drive includes the cable as well as a USB-A cable. It is password protected, which is another great option that some of the previous models don't offer. I bought this one on sale and for a 1TB SSD drive, this was a great deal. This is thing is ridiculously small, which makes it ultra portable. Even if you can't find this on sale, but want something fast and portable, this is about the best available. I would definitely recommend this.

    Purchased this external SSD to dual-boot Windows 10 on a 2017 iMac. Plugged into my computer through a thunderbolt/USB-C port. Works as expected and is honestly faster than my internal HDD!

    This was purchased for a PS5. Works great. A little problem in formatting so that it could be seen by the PS 5 but once that was resolved, I'm happy.
