Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works well. Silent and fast. Very compact and sleek looking.

Very fast. Great for transferring hundreds or thousands of DSLR captures and Movies. Does get warm to hot and slows (protective throttling) down. Have used ice packs to keep up the speed and long life of SSD. Still faster than a Hard disc drive when hot. 383 GBs and still adding to folder. Still need to transfer Sony video cam movies and pictures.

great size and performance for what we needed. It works seemlessly with our apple macbook air. definitely would recommend if you are in the market for an external!

Runs well ssd works great for gaming! Would recommend!

Have several other brands at this point. The Samsung is the only one i feel confident is not going to crash on me with valuable photos and video files on it. Its worth the premium to get the reliability.

Excellent External Hard Drive! Easy to use and save my important documents

Amazing purchase... super fast and reliable. Plus with the size it can go anywhere

My wife called this 'the greatest piece of tech' I ever bought. As a creative it allows her to quickly and easily move massive files between computers at home and on the go. Great build quality, discrete and light. Gets a bit warm during use, but not too bad. It's plug and play, but also has sokid security features like password protection.

Very fast, worth the money. I like how compact it is.

Excellent Products, could not more pleased once set-up.

Love it, love it, love it, love it, just love that this is a great product and i was avle to put both computer hard-drives on it

Very reasonably priced. Small enough to fit in your pocket, but has 1 TB of storage capacity. Great alternative to the "Cloud". Sets up quickly and easily and is ready to go.

Pretty solid option! I got mine for extra storage for my video projects, and so far it seems to be fast enough to edit off of (I shoot with an A7s3, 10 bit, 4k). The transfer speed is insane compared to the HDDs I was using. Would recommend!

When bench testing, the drive read & wrote at advertised speeds using MacBook Air M4. Under sustained, heavy loads, the drive gets warm, but never did it get too hot to comfortably touch. Note that I did not install the included software. I formatted it for use with MacOS Time Machine and it works fine. The price at Best Buy was very competitive. Shipping was nearly instantaneous. One odd thing is that the manual never mentions when the LED should be illuminated, flashing or off. Occasionally, when I know it is writing or reading, there is no light or the light is solid. Even when the computer is off, sometimes the LED is lit. Beats me!

Can’t go wrong with extra storage! Simple plug in and use

So glad I upgraded my external memory card. I returned the old one and had no issues getting the better memory card. Staff was extremely friendly. I love this place. Thank you Best Buy

Love the size of it. So slim and not much bigger than a credit card. Plenty of storage space. Transfers media fairly quickly as well. Faster than i expected it to from a laptop that had not been used in a few years. About an hour for more than 100gb of media. Haven't tried from a phone yet. Opens up quickly as well when plugged into another laptop. Only downfall is the encryption process, Haven't totally figured it out yet, but once its encrypted and the password is set up i tried to open it on another device and the media would not show up on the new device, but it was still on the drive. Had to decrypt it on the old device before the media would show on the new device. Overall though it was worth the purchase though.

Great product holds alot of data. Thinking of ordering another one

I have purchased 2 of these external hard drive memory cards. Wouldn't buy any other brand. Not flimsy like a standard disc memory. Strong. Hi memory. Easier to use. Very easy to set up and use. Better in every way compared to a "disc" memory.

Great dependable and fast external SSD. I am using the Samsung external SSDs with Macs, for quick Time Machine backups when the SSD is directly connected to a Mac. When I have used this SSD to setup a new Mac from a Time Machine back up from an old Mac, it is very quick. The Samsung SSD drive format is exFAT, which is compatible with Mac and Windows use. For Mac use only, the best format is AFPS, and formatting can be done by using Disk Utility in MacOS. Monitor the sale pricing; the price can occasionally drop significantly.
