While some users note that the drive can get warm during operation, and that the price point may be high for some, the positive feedback on performance and portability outweighs these concerns.

    Really nice size form (very small, easy to transport and store), and fast data transfer. No complaints so far, would consider buying again in the future.

    I’ve purchased nothing but western digital for the past 15 years. This Samsung is my first from their brand and definitely won’t be my last. Great speed, and the quality of built not only looks sharp, but is insanely compact. Easy to take anywhere and even easier to setup with your Mac or pc. Solid drive!

    One of the best External SSD's out there!

    One of the best external SSD's out there. I have created two partitions on the drive to run Windows in Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro and to have an external HDD for additional storage. Speed is impressive even though it doesn't utilize Thunderbolt 3. USB 3.2 Gen 2 is more than fast enough for all my requirements!

    A reliable external drive to fit me needs! After buying the base model Mac Studio M1 Max, I needed more storage for my music production files. The read and write speeds are exactly what I was hoping them to be! A satisfied purchase!

    Serves its purpose well as an external diagnostic/utility drive for computer maintenance. Not as fast as external NVMe SSDs, but plenty fast for basic file backup or diagnostic utility applications. Also doesn't run nearly as hot as NVMe SSDs during high read/write scenarios.

    Great add-on USB storage for Xbox

    I purchased this to add game storage space on an Xbox Series X console. I've been using it for a couple of weeks, and it's fast. The console recognized it and allowed me to set it up as the default download location for "older" (pre-Series X) titles. I have plenty of space for older titles now and am happy with the purchase. Note that if you're thinking of doing the same thing, you can't play games designed for the Series X on a USB storage device like this. You can play games that were not designed for the Series X from it though. This would also make a great add-on storage device for PC users.

    Bought this as an alternative to the seagate xbox expansion card, but BEWAREthis does not make xbox x|s optimized games playable. If you're using it for storage this is a very good option.

    Works great with my Nvidia Shield TV Pro to expand the available space. I originally had a recommended USB drive attached, but over time the drive become slow. The new Samsung T7 revitalized the Shield as well as expanded the possibilities of apps I can install.

    These things are incredible. I have 3 of these now because I dont trust internal Hard Drives anymore so I save everything on these. I have one attached to each of my computers and I love them, they network amazing, they are fast as can be and My Oldest one is a few years now and still works as good and as fast and reliable as my new ones. I also have the 2T one as well. They are sleek, slim, and use very little power to run them. I actually have these Command Strip stuck to the top of my laptops and have a 90 degree cable into the side and back of my laptops. I have tried a lot of portable drives and these are my Go To Ones...

    This SSD is a winner, having been updated from the old model that Samsung had out. It performs really well and is fast and efficient. I would highly recommend this drive as an option to store pictures and other files if you don't like using the cloud.

    I work out of 2 offices, the home and a shop I can continue an office project at home without dragging bulky equipment back and forth, the size is what sold me, both physical and storage capacity, the transfer speed is a bonus, worth every penny.
