    Really fast but be careful as it can get really hot if it's not well ventilated. Like if you're on your couch and have the laptop in your lap and the drive is just hanging over your leg, touching the couch, this will get hot to the point where it's uncomfortable to hold. Think hotter than a disposable hand warmer. The concern there is that heat kills these devices. But if it's well ventilated, no concerns. I now use it with my Mac mini and keep this and another one on top of the mini and the metal of the mini draws the heat away from the drives.

    The fact that something the size of a couple credit cards thick can hold 2TB of data reliable, is affordably priced and super portable is just mind blowing. Don't hesitate if you're on the fence - these Samsung SSDs are awesome. Plug and play out of the box for Mac or PC. Fantastic.

    Fast and compact! I bought one for my new Xbox Series X and one for my new PS5 to store and play earlier console games. I love the speed and they tuck nicely behind the consoles using very little space! They are a bit pricy, but definitely worth it if you can afford one.

    Extremely fast. Using this drive to install and run games. Gears of War, World of Tanks, World of War Planes, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, and all my Steam games run from this drive flawlessly. Much better to gobble up space on this drive than on the onboard SSD.

    Amazingly small and compact, this 2TB drive is fast when connected to Thunderbolt3, but also works well when connected to a USB3 port. The flexibility is key for me. I partitioned into two Volumes, one for Time Machine backup and one for storage of videos. Well worth the price.

    Picked this up as an expansion to my Xbox and it has worked great. It’s super fast and has all the cables you need in the box. Very reliable and can be used for a multitude of USB or USB-C setups. It’s about as high quality as you can get for a portable SSD drive! Would buy again.

    Extremely Fast - One Minor Issue

    This thing works like greased lightning and it’s small, about the size of 4 credit cards stacked together. Only issue was getting it to eject properly the first time using the Windows 11 “safely eject USB device “. Kept getting an error that it could be ejected because it was still in use. Could never find a reasonable resolution and don’t know if it was the device itself or Windows 11. Other than that, I love it!
