    This external SSD is pretty fast and very compact. It worked fine with my iMac 27 (2017) model but did not work with USB-C. I had to use the C to A adapter that came with the drive. I purchased this drive for time machine backups and it's working well for that.

    Couldn't wait for Sony to activate NVMe drive so using this SSD as an external storage drive for my PS5. Works great! (Can only store PS5 games but can play PS4 games directly from the drive)

    The current bleeding edge in external storage. This drive is so fast that it improved my download speeds on STEAM. Yeah, you read that right. This drive is so fast that I am now able to take full advantage of my 350Mbps download speed without any HDD writing throttling.

    Needed a hard drive that I can transport around with me when I’m going on vacation and I don’t want to have my phone or camera filled with all the photos or video. It reads and writes fast and comes with password protection software so only you can view it.

    This is the second T5 I've purchased. The first one I've used to store my movies and shows, Easy plug and play from my computer to my Samsung TV. Using the second to store my music. It's super fast and reliable. SSD is the way to go.

    Samsung T5 is just right for keeping my files safe and easy to access. Yes the modern way to store files is on a cloud. I don't have the best internet service provider so a cloud is not my first choice.

    Main reason for getting this unit is that it works with BMPCC 4k and 6k cameras. More affordable than SD cards on a price per MB basis. The T5 works whereas the T7 won’t!

    I bought the t7 thinking I can use for BMPCC since their speed is faster but the buffer. So went back to these because they work great in any record setting.
