    I bought this device because on my desktop i needed more space and i wanted an external ssd just in case if i want to move the files around or plug it into my phone to use one of my files. And the device is pretty secure, with the software and password. I would honestly buy more of these they are worth it.

    This external SSD is lightweight, fast, and has plenty of storage. A bit expensive, but more reliable than standard disc hard drives.

    I have purchased 3 of these now, all the 2TB size. I have combined a number of small 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB hard drives into one. And another I use for a computer backup. And another for storing backups of all my photos. They are far faster and way more lite weight than a congenital portable hard drive. This has been great not weighing down my backpack. Also they come with a usb c to usb c and a usb c to usb a cable. So I can hook to a new laptop as well as older computers. They are ja out 1/3 to 1/2 the size of a conventional pocket hard drive also.

    We have about 6 or so of these for our 3-man video team in various sizes. They all love them. Our video guys are recording 4K content and they will actually do fast edits off of these drives (more involved edits are done off of our NAS), and love being able to dump the contents of their SD cards on these from a laptop. If you're looking for quality, speed, and portability, these are hard to beat.

    I. LOVE. THESE. DRIVES. This is my 4th drive I've purchased of this model. (And I've purchased 2 additional ones for other people...6 total.) I've had these Samsung "T" series drives for years now. I use them with a Mac, and they work very well. Super fast, super portable. What more could you ask for! Also, pro tip for the Mac users, re-format the drive completely when you get it. This method has worked for me for years with these and I haven't had any issues. Can't recommend these drives enough.

    Love this little drive - i use it 5 days a week at work to listen to music; i have a huge collection and my rips are not the small file size. It does get quiet warm, but i haven't had any issues with it. Bought a silicon sleeve for it for handling

    Definitely did its job. My son needed more storage for games on his laptop. This SSD is an excllent choice. Speed is good, not bulky, it is very user friendly-just plug it in. And lots of storage. Just what he needed.

    First thing is that this device is very easy to operate/use. Quick to setup straight out of the box and very quick with downloading and storing precious information. The only downside is have to say about this product is that it is on the expensive side compared to the competitors out there although Samsung is a fairly well known brand it is worth investing in a quality product if you have the funds.

    Bought 4 of these. I tried the T7 but the T7 got very hot and the speed wasn’t noticeable. The T5 stay cool and still very fast. Using for Xbox and PS5 and it’s faster than the internal SSD. Save money and just buy the T5 over the T7. Had a Sandisk and it was very hot or warm all the time so I returned it. T5’s are known to last. Bought the 2Tb Samsung T5’s for $200 on Black Friday.
