    Amazing Storage

    I recommend this product to anyone looking for additional storage for music, pictures, videos, gaming etc. I use it for composing music and backing up the files. It's easy to install and the writing speed is faster than you'd expect. It's durable and sturdy. I'll most definitely buy another when I need more space .

    Excellent Performance and Sophisticated Design

    Setup was a breeze. Read and write speeds are excellent with the thunderbolt connection. There's a thunderbolt to USB connection but I haven't used it yet. The compact design is impressive and the materials feel durable, but I do wish the Samsung Portable SSD had a tasteful modern pattern or texture like Seagate products usually have.

    The Hard Drive on the Xbox One S is trash. However, this external SSD solves that. I went from crazy long loading screens to just a few seconds of loads screen and response when I hooked this up to my Xbox One S. Remember to use it as your primary drive, but otherwise, this is a must have.

    You'd be amazed how small and lightweight this is once you get it in your hand. Or course they got me with the rose gold color but a terabyte for this price was awesome! Now that I have this I've consolidated all my other flash drives and externals. Enough space for everything including backing up my Macbook.

    I got the for my Tesla Model 3 to use as a storage device for the car’s cameras. This should have plenty of space and I won’t be stressed with missing any footage due to a maxed out unit. The streamlined design fits perfectly with the Jeda USB hub.

    I bought this to record high bit rate video from a BlackMagic Design Pocket Cinema 4K camera. I tested the continuous write capability of the SSD for 30 minutes and didn't experience any problems. I would recommend this SSD if you are using it with a BMPC4K.
