    Fast, reliable, and plenty of storage. I have two, one for work and one for personal use. I plan on buying 2 more for when my kids go to college to back up their MacBook Air devices.

    I bought this to use a backup to the data on my two computers. It works great and I can safely store it elsewhere. I use the password security option without problems.

    Actually much better than i expected. Super fast download/upload. Plugged directly into a Macbook and immediately just worked. No issues whatsoever. When the price comes down i'll probably get another,

    I purchased a T7 but the speed was not consistent, so I bought this T5 instead. This is super consistent across copying. Getting around 400mbps which is really good

    Have a 500Gb T-3 and a 500Gb t-5 that has all my music and all my movies and I love them. Just got the 1Tb T-5 to store my 80,000 digital photos. Super fast, reliable and small. My favorite external storage

    I got this to store music and samples while producing music. Works like a charm and it has very fast read and write speeds. Wish it was a little less expensive, but its worth it.

    I love this Solid State Drive. The download speeds are incredible and the upload speeds are good enough. If you need a Solid State Drive, I highly recommend this brand and model.

    Very compact and appears to be well made. I like that it comes with (1) USB C to USB C cable, as well as (1) USB A to USB C cable. Very convenient.

    It works well, I can copy files and edit file from and is a lot faster than my Western Digital Drive (But it is not a solid-state drive). I really like the drive.

    Honestly, the T5 is still the best portable SSD out there in my opinion. I have used other brands, but overall the quality, speed and price for this SSD just makes it the best!

    It includes a usb type a to usb c and a usb c to usb c cable in the box, which means I could use it on the Xbox series x for older game storage.

    The software you need to use it is buggy. I had to check online on why I couldn't use a product I paid over $100 for. Samsung needs to fix the software issue.

    I love this product. I am in film and photography and when shooting in true 4K it doesn't take long to burn what you may have and the Samsung T5 is a great little unit to keep in the camera bag.
