    I bought this because every external hard drive I ever owned would eventually stop working and I would lose all those files. So I thought I would be prepared and get this device and have loved the satisfaction of not having to worry about losing my data.

    Bought this to complement my Newly purchased Mac mini, and it works perfectly. Have been using a 500 GB Samsung Drive and now have them both hooked up. Nobody can beat Best Buys price on this drive. I looked on line and at other retailers. Looking for a 2TB next.

    Installing the SSD was like putting a turbocharger in my Xbox One S. Once I copied my games over, games started much much faster, it was a difference between waiting 60 seconds to load as opposed to 15 seconds.

    Works extremely well with my BMPCC4K. I also don’t have to transfer files from the drive on to my PC. I can edit my footage directly from the T5. I only regret not getting the 2TB version.

    I've now purchased three of these T5 SSD external hard drives because of how awesome they are. Two I use for redundant computer backups, and the latest will be for expanded PS5 storage. Great value and quality.

    At this juncture the SSD has been working fine. I had to reformat for the purpose of using it with my iMac, but that wasn't a big issue. Given that there are faster SSD's out there now, this is still a good bargain.

    Reliable and fast, but expensive for just 1 TB. I would buy this again instead of other brands like Seagate.

    Very nice little external HD that packs more punch then I need. USB Type C is fast and the physical size of the drive makes it easy to pack with my laptop when im on the go. LOVE the security app included as well.

    Got this for my Xbox Series X - only for storing / holding previous generation games and it works great. Not quite as fast as the internal drive, but it is still way faster than an external mechanical hard drive.

    So far I have loved this it helps me alleviate storage issues on my macbook and keeps my files safe with a security code. I also like the peace of mind of still having my files incase the computer breaks down unexpectedly.

    Great portable memory drive. The 1TB is enough to hold most of my photos and scans. Doing a time consuming genealogy project over the Winter and I needed something that gives me confidence in a backup.
