    Ok. We have a 4 or 5 year old iMac which has been running non stop 24/7. The Hdd was never that speedy and was really slowing down. Downloaded macOS to the Samsung t5 and and new use it as the primary drive for the iMac. Works fabulously. Very fast. One touch awakens it instantly. No delays. Virtually a brand new machine. And didn’t have to crack the case.

    Great Drive On PC, So So For PS4

    Bought this for my PlayStation 4 and it has reduced load times for the games I loaded onto it. Only four stars because the PS4 and drive are very finicky about how you power off the PS4. If you do not disconnect the drive and shut off power or the system loses power suddenly, when you turn on your PS4 you will have to do a drive repair. It only takes a few seconds but I do worry when it says data could be corrupted. Hasn't happened but the possibility exists. Also, the drive would not install when I first plugged it in. The PS4 said it was not compatible. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it worked, but issues like this make me think that there may be drives that work better with the PS4.
