    Very small and relatively fast. I have been using this for a year now and am very happy with it. I use it to take a backup copy of all my data and pictures when leaving town.

    This SSD is literally perfect in every way. You can use it to back up your computer, augment your current storage capacity, or even copy your operating system onto it and boot directly off the drive. This is awesome for security while doing online banking or other sensitive tasks. It's like having a whole other separate computer just for important things. I've had mine for over a year now and it's showing no signs of giving up anytime soon! Love!

    If your computer has a USB-C port this drive will give great performance. Samsung SSD are one of the most reliable manufacturers in the business.
