    This little thing stores so much storage for it's size its rediculous. I tried transfer stuff from older computers I have, but it obviously is only compatible with newer computers. It does not work for for my intended use, but I will continue to use it for new data.

    Good hardware but issues with Samsung software

    The SSD is fast and a large capacity. Even if according to specification, it is slower than the internal SSD on my laptop, I cannot really tell the difference. I use it for running Virtual Machine and software development. Where I had trouble is with Samsung Portable SSD software and Samsung Magician. I installed the Portable SSD software and got some very weird issues: I was NOT using encryption and the SSD start losing some changes. When I swap the SSD to another machine, folder or files created done on that machine were not appearing on the original machine. At one point, I reformatted the drive and it continues reporting the old folder, even though they were completely inaccessible. After I finally removed the Samsung Portable software, the problem went away. That software is only require for using encryption. Another issue was with Samsung Magician software. It updated the firmware, which was good. I had it for over a month and strangely, the laptop was no longer able to sleep, took me a while to figure out that the issue was with the external SSD. Uninstalling Samsung Magician fix the issue. None of Samsung software is required for basic use. But it was time consuming to troubleshot and figure out that Samsung software cause more harm than good.

    Ruler thin. This guy is so thin, I thought I bought the wrong item. Nope, this SSD is as compact as a couple of credit cards...I bought it solely as an apple iMac backup and boy is it fast.

    Hooked this up to my aging PS4 Pro console and the speed gains are noticeable. While upgrading the internal to SSD is a greater gain (in some respects), plug and play is simplier for most users. Just install games that need a boost to this drive and plug in to play. Unplug and plug back your other HDD external (we all have one) for long term storage.
