    This device is little, practical and fast! I can just have it in my pocket and use it everywhere. I had no difficulties to plug it in my laptop and it showed to be fastest than my internal hard disk. I love to use it when I need a fast storage device to train my Artificial Intelligence projects.

    I bought this external ssd to use with my PS4 as my internal 500 gb was nearing full capacity. I also wanted to see how much faster I could speed up load times. The ease of use out of the box in relation with the PS4 was effortless. I transferred Destiny 2, with well over 100gb, to the ssd in less than 10 minutes. The difference is unmistakable as far as loading times go now while in game and even initial log in. My only regret is that I didn’t buy it sooner.

    This is hands down the best external SSD. Samsung makes the best products IMHO and my experience. This drive is no exception. I bought this as an external drive for the PS4 Pro but decided to use it for the Xbox One X instead. It has made a night and day difference in load times. I loved it so much I bought a second one for my Xbox One S. This drive is hands down the best in its class.

    I do a lot of video production work and I actually use these portable ssd with my camera. It’s fast enough so I can usually record slow motion in 4K, RAW. On Raw 5:1 and ProRes, I have no problem recording up to 4K 60p on the camera. I have 2 of these guys and I haven’t had a situation where I’ve run through both of them in a day. If you need the space, get the 1TB, but these do the job just fine and are a little cheaper.

    Very easy to use SSD! I've been keeping all my music projects on it to keep my internal drive more empty. It came with a USB-C to C cable along with an A to C cable which makes it super handy for use with computers with both types of ports without having to look for adapters or anything like that. I keep it all together in a small case. Very portable. Couldn't be happier with this purchase!
