    So far has worked perfectly and is great for use with editing short 4k videos of "Cut downs" form longer 4K videos to be used on social media.

    Very nice SSD drive. I have this and also a T7. In my opinion, they are both excellent and fast drives. I set up this T5 for a boot up backup for my desktop.

    Super fast for an external ssd! I love how I can save things externally and not have to worry about the speed of the transfers. MacBook 16 works perfectly with it.

    this is really tiny and has ridiculous speeds. I chose the Samsung brand because at least they tend to be a bit more reliable. powers directly from usb-c and works on my macbook pro

    Another good product from Samsung. I haven't owned long, but everything I have done on it thus far has been great. Fast reading and writing speeds. Easy to use.

    Using this for a PS4. Does not seem as touchy as the HDD ones for portability. Working well so far. It also comes with the necessary cables to connect to USB so no need to buy separate.

    I have tested this drive for speed, and that turned out to be Super. I haven't used it 'for real', yet, but would be using it for primary computer backup, which should be encouraging to know.

    I'm always mobile, and I needed more storage for my laptop. I was tired of mechanical external hard drives, so I opted for something much faster and less noisy. Definitely happy with the improvements.

    Just what I was looking for. I bought it to use as storage on my Plex server. The response time is incredible, and the small size makes it easy to tuck away

    Great product from Samsung. This 1TB SSD has plenty of memory for all your projects, whether you are storing spreadsheets, photos, videos, music and even larger data items like movies. The device offers software pre-installed in order to use the option of securing you data with a Password. This SSD works smoothly on both Apple and PC’s. So if you are in need of a well constructed SSD, don’t settle for a cheap flash drive, go with the Samsung T5!

    I needed a new hard drive for my MacBook Pro and this seemed like the best option. It works well with usb-c and backed up my 512 gb hard drive quickly. I also love how compact it is.
