    I purchased this external drive for my MacBook Pro backups (Time Capsule). This tiny drive is phenomenal! It’s read/right speed is impressive and set up was super fast. Basically plug and play! There are multiple options to choose from, I went with the 500GB and can back up all my files, music/tracks, and videos with tons of room to spare!

    The Samsung - T5 500GB External USB Type C Portable Solid State Drive - Alluring blue is very small and portable. Once I figured out how to use it, I think, it seems pretty good. I like that it has a USB-C input but it also has a converter as well. It is a great fit for my solid state Dell laptop.
