    I am in love with my Samsung Portable SSD

    I love the transfer speed on my Samsung SSD, I think this is a must have for post production work. I am currently using it to download Pictures and Videos so it does not slow down my computer. But the only thing I have noticed is that my Bluetooth features turn off from my Keyboard and wireless mouse. I had to unplug the Samsung SSD in order to get things working. And the Keyboard had to be hard wired to the back of my IMac. Not sure if anyone else experienced this issue with their PC. But overall it delivers the transfer speeds I needed, when I am done with my work, I dump it on my WD My Passport.

    Awesome drive. Super small in size and fast. On the pricier end for a 500gb external but worth the speed if you dont need an insane amount of space.

    I needed an external drive to house all my photos when I unfortunately learned the solid state hard drive in the new laptop I had purchased was much smaller than the old style hard drive in my old laptop. Instead of exchanging the laptop for one with a larger solid state drive (which would have been very expensive), the salesperson suggested an external solid state drive. This one was very reasonably priced and very portable. I was able to easily transfer everything from my old laptop to this drive with no issues.

    This is my second purchase of this drive. Absolutely Great! I use both of them as external boot drives. One for a Mac, and One for Windows 10. These drives are very very fast for an external usb drive. Speed is very good using them as a on-the-go portable OS drive. The Mac OTG OS works absolutely flawlessly. Windows not so much but it has nothing to do with the drive itself, its just that windows on-the go just doesn't work as well, especially when you try to boot a machine with significantly different hardware. But that is just typical Windows shortcomings.
