Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is the perfect compact data backup for your laptop, tablet, and phone. If it doesn't automatically work on your device, the Best Buy team are ON IT, and it's so appreciated.

Purchased for backing up two PCs prior to upgrade to Windows 11. Fast, easy to use. Did not overheat during a large (450GB) write, despite what other reviewers have said.

Always reliable, always a go to drive! I tend to always stick with the Samsung ssd drive as this has never failed me yet!

Excellent transfer speed, very portable and durable.

Is exactly what it is portable storage and made sturdy to last

I wasn't sure what to expect when buying this was mostly just looking for a decent external that would hold space and wasn't big in size, I got exactly what I was looking for with no strings attached I'd highly recommend this product

It's a great little size to fit in your pocket or a laptop bag. Due to it's USB-C interface, it's fast, versatile to be used with the latest devices as well as backward compatible with the old ones. After experiencing this, will never use the 2.5" external drives.

Wonderful product made the job I was doing much faster

Very fast and small easy to move around and lots of space for games

This 1TB small portable SSD is easy to carry it and can fit in the pocket all the time. It's worth the price.

Love the space it provides! Have no complaints! Runs nicely too.

High speed storage that I use for video editing. My only issue is it overheats when moving a lot of files onto it at once, definitely hinders the read/write speeds and slows things down a lot. When using it to edit it works great.

I Like the new SSD drives. I know you can get the older style for 1/3 the price, but I carry mine around and I don't worry about a little bump know and then. They are flat & easy to carry in computer bag. Watch the prices, End of the year is a great time to buy. Note the "gen" numbers. They tell you the transfer speed (and thus the price range). 3.2 gen 2 is about the fastest right now. Give it a few months there will be a faster model (but for more money I expect). Be realistic about the speed you really need. Do you move 100gb in one setting? (That is about 100 normal size movies). If yes then go for the best speed. If not maybe save $40 on the slightly slower (but still amazing) model. I usually limit size to 1-TB. You can get up to 4TB, but that is a lot to lose if it ever does give you a problem. I have 10 of these 1TB models. T-5's and T-7's. USB 3.1 gen 1, thru USB 3.2 gen 2. They all work well so far.

I purchased this to use as an external drive for the Xbox Series X. While of course not as fast as the internal drive, this does have great read/write speeds and works excellent with legacy games to free up internal storage. For those who want portable solution, it has a really small footprint and could easily slip in a pocket.

Used it to back up a Mac Book. It was straightforward and did the job. It was a bit more expensive that I thought an external drive should be - but Best Buy had it on the shelf.

Awesome unit. Does everything that the description says. I highly recommend this product.

Love the compact size and consistent performance of this external hard desk. It works really well and very small so you can move it around when needed.

After using this with my PS4 and PS5 for about a month now, I can say it works exactly how I hopped out would. I've seen reviews saying that it has temperature issues and consistently stops working but I have yet to run into those issues. It's a device I use daily and it is constantly being read from and written to. It's extremely fast as well. As fast as advertised.

Have several of these to move data from one device to another and also storage of data. Works great no problems with connectivity

Smooth and easy setup / use. Reliable, efficient, and highly performant! Solid choice!
