    This is a very snazzy little hard drive. Totally silent while in use as it is a solid state drive and load times are WAY faster than previous USB models.

    Not much to say but that this Samsung SSD performs extremely well. I edit both 4K videos in Final Cut Pro X and RAW images in Lightroom from a Sony A7III off this SSD and performance has been nothing but stellar.

    Convenience and portability are the 2 first words that come to mind about this external hard drive. I wanted SSD and wanted a "jump drive" but with a LOT of space! This was it and it's been phenomenal!

    I was skeptical at first because I wasn’t receiving the speeds this advertised at first but realized I was transferring data from a HDD. But if transferring from ssd to ssd it delivers!

    Researched portable SSDs and this one is a great combination of price and performance for this storage size. Best Buy online chat price matched as well! Overall great experience.

    I am a videographer and this was the only hard drive that kept up with my editing. I now own four of these because I am scared of erasing any footage. If you are in the field of doing videos this is a must have

    Works well with the black magic 4K camera. I have 2 so far and had an issue with one of the cables after heavy use. I contacted Samsung and they were able to give me a new cable.

    Efficient. Easy to use. No difficulty with retrieving files once transferred. I feel much more relieved to have this system in place as backup for my computer files.

    Samsun Solid State drives are the best. I trust them to store all my important docs. They have proven durable whenever I have accidently dropped. Preserved all my data.

    Works great on PS5. I used this to hold my ps4 games and they play as expected. Ps5 games can only be held on the device for transfer but not used to play them.

    Fast transfer of data in a strong enclosure. The aluminum case works well to keep the drive from becoming hot. I have purchased at least 20 of these drives over a couple of years and have never had a problem.

    This is my second of these in recent months. The speed is amazing and have had no problems with this type of drive. Plus, the Best Buy price was so good at holiday shopping time, I couldn’t resist.
