    I put my most taxing games on this drive & they load up 4 to 5 times faster than anyone on my fireteam or lobby. Works great for heavy load time games like 2k & Destiny. Get this! You will thank me later.

    Great price on a state of the art portable 500GB SSD that works as expected. I'm currently using the drive on a USB 3.0 laptop for multitrack audio recording with no issues. The drive is capable of USB 3.1 speeds so it should perform even better on a faster interface.

    My Samsung SSD had only recently been on the market. It was the last one on the shelf. It cost a little more than at least some of the other products, but was well worth it. Two internet advisers that helped me transfer data agreed, Big thank you.

    Purchased primarily to speed up texture loading times in online games (specifically Fortnite) on my XBox One X. Worked extremely well. Went from being last person loaded into the game, to consistently one of the first.

    This SSD was perfect for my needs. I am a video editor and needed a couple of drives to pass back and forth between our videographers and myself to transfer footage. They work so well I can edit off of them if the deadline is very short.

    Title says it all. It does what you want it to, especially when playing games with it. Although I am not too fond of the short lifespan (TBW)

    I had been using a 7200 external, and it was an improvement. I needed more space. The load times are noticeably faster on this SSD. Now, wait times are more because I am waiting for others to load in.

    Good drive. Comes with USB cord. Can run games off it no problem. I got this one instead of the internal 500 GB Samsung because it was cheaper (on sale) and I was told the internal drive doesn't come with a SATA cord. Seems to have been a reasonable choice.

    This SSD will do its job. Sometimes it lags and even can drop footage. But overall will perform for the low price offered

    Bought two of these. One for my Xbox One X and one to backup photos for my business. The drive has performed flawlessly on both venues. Very fast and so far reliable. And excellent value $$$

    This is little SSD is so quick for access, and has an extra level of security with its own separate encryption and password protocol. It’s perfect for those that want to carry sensitive or confidential information, and be secure.

    I use to play games with long load times or big texture libraries, like the Division 2. This all but got rid of textures loading in, and super quick for loading in and out of games.

    I bought this 500GB drive to use as an external drive for the Xbox One X. The Xbox detects it immediately and games saved on it load 100x faster than the slow 1TB drive that comes with the Xbox. I wish I bought the 1TB version.

    I purchased this external SSD to use on PS4 to expedite the loading speed and it’s made a night/day difference. Can also be used as an additional hard drive on computers/laptops.

    An excellent way to have videos and pictures backed up. I didn't realize at the time but an external SSD drive is not as fast as an internal. That was my fault for not doing more research.
