    Great SSD for external storage on game consoles. My load times have never been better. The only downside is that it takes a usb slot on the console which is easily remedied with a usb splitter or hub.

    I bought this to speed up load times for my Xbox One X on Destiny 2. I can say without a doubt that the load times for travelling and the user interface have increased by 40-60% consistantly.

    I had initially gone to Best Buy for a similar product from a different manufacturer, but having had repeated satisfaction for Samsung hardware, I chose this over the competitor's version.

    Meets every need so far. Quick response time. Works seamlessly between MAC and PC operating systems, and seems to be much more stable than previous external hard drives I’ve used

    I use these as my own "Cloud" as they are small enough physically to pack along but large enough in capacity to keep large files off my laptop and to share between different computers.

    As usual, if it has Samsung name on it...in my experience at least...then you know that it's worth it. great build quality, my tiniest drive, and still feels most sturdy.
