    It's good, I like it a lot. The color is nice. It's small. It should have come with a case.

    I love this SSD! So fast, small and lightweight! It slides into my laptop bag and takes no time at all to come available when I plug it in. My only complaint is the price and, when the price comes down I will be first in line to get two more.

    I use this SSD with my xbox one X and have noticed a much faster loading time on some of my bigger games, Sea of Thief’s, Destiny 2, and GTA. I lived it so much I bought a second one for my wife to use for her computer.

    This is my third Samsung SSD. I have used these to reinvigorate tired, older Macs. I put the operating latest operating system on the SSD and then boot from it each time. It is like getting a new computer. Definitely worth it.

    I use this drive as a backup for my dashcam in a Tesla Model 3 and it works great! Enough to save a lot of footage, and works like a champ. Would get again!

    As a photographer who is constantly throwing drives in my bag, I’ve broken plenty of them. I was skeptical about paying more for an SSD but i don’t regret it one bit. It’s fast, reliable, and durable.

    I’m using this on a Xbox X and when you move your games to it there is a major performance boost. Great drive for a good price. I researched the transfer rate of all usb solidstate drives and this one won every test I could find.

    Got this for backing up very large files. The OS is also on an SSD. The backup of large files now goes from one SSD to another SSD. This turned out to be super fast i.e. just a few minutes compared to nearly an hour before.

    This is a great external drive. The aluminum body has a nice look and feel. It comes with two cords; one USB 3.0/USB-C, and a USB-C/USB-C. All around great drive, especially for the money.
