    Worked great and the setup was very easier. My computer picked it up immediately. I use it for gaming and it handles great for the little bit I do.

    This thing is small, thin and perfect to use as an external for a PS5. Only issue is you can only store PS4 games but play them directly off it.

    This Samsung SSD was recommended by the company that services/monitors our home computers. Its compact size allows the flexibility to take it along when traveling. It is perfect for my needs.

    I replaced a hard drive with this SSD and the speeds are great. I now boot into Windows 10 in less than 30 seconds (used to be 6-8 minutes).

    Excellent external storage for PS5 and Series X. Works great for running older PS4 and Xbox games directly off the SSD.

    I own 3 other Samsung T-series SSDs, and needed some additional storage on the go. I primarily use the T3 and T5 SSDs for my video and photo editing needs, and they work great!

    This is exactly what I was looking for in an external ssd. I found it easy to connect, easy to use, and enough storage for all of my files. It is a bit on the pricey side.

    Not an expert however it was very easy to use. Downloaded files with ease. Small and does not come with a case so one must be purchased separately

    This seems way too good to be true. They said it's guaranteed to get there the next day, and I didn't believe it, because shipping is so slow right now. I ordered at 4:33 pm, and the next day, it was on my doorstep at 9 am. That's insanely fast, and it was FREE! I was also skeptical, because Sony hasn't certified one SSD Hard Drive for the PS5. It works with the PS5 and ir's easy to use. I got about a 15% discount and free overnight shipping. You get a free Office trial and a free Shutterfly item too! This purchase was 10/10!

    Definitely notice a huge difference using a SSD on my XBOX. games are loading faster and maps aren't blurry. I would suggest anyone who is a casual gamer or advance gamer get one.

    Using this as external storage for my PS5. Runs super fast, loads the PS4 games I stored on there much quicker than a regular HDD would.
