This is a great option to access lots of storage without having to carry extra weight. A USB thumb drive would work too but its flash memory is usually slower than this external SSD drive. Still the read and write speeds of this drive will vary depending on the file sizes and the PC hardware. The biggest downside are the included short cables - they are not flexible enough which can leave this light weight drive hanging on one end.

Purchased for my wifes computer and moved all her personal files to it. Now she can just unplug and carry them with her whereever she goes. Seems to be working good so far.

Love these SSDs! I've been using them for a couple of years now and only have great things to say about them. I use them for video editing when I'm traveling and they work great. The read and write speeds allow 4k footage to be edited pretty easily. They're also lightweight and don't take up a lot of space.

Works great! Quick write & transfer speeds! I upgraded to a 4tb external drive from a 2tb… I needs tons of space and like to keep the drives as empty as possible in my computers for peak performance and overall longevity. My 2tb WD Black external drive was full. It didn’t take very long to transfer the data between them, and it all made it out intact.

Love it. Better than getting a regular hardrive if you want something that has much more longevity and much less of a risk to crash. Best buy has some of the best options for Solid State Drives.
Samsung has developed a wonderful SSD 1TB hardrive

I bought this SSD 1TB external hard drive for my wife to store photos and videos so that she can free up her C drive. The size is incredibly small but it is fast and she loves it.

So far so good with this storage device. I use it to make backups of my MacBook using Time Machine. It works great for this purpose. I have not had any issues with it yet. I like that it is small and easy to use. I would say that the price of this SSD is pretty good. Not too expensive. Overall, I would recommend it.

I initially bought this SSD as a backup for my TimeMachine on my Mac. However, I’ve also been able to use it for my Logic projects. A few weeks ago, I purchased a new Mac, and this SSD left me in awe. It transferred all my old Mac’s data to my new one in about 15 to 25 minutes. Even the Apple Genius specialist was impressed. I highly recommend this product. If you’re concerned about the color, it blends seamlessly with the Space Black Mac color.

I'm upgrading 15 year-old external harddisk. This is exactly what I was looking for. It is light/small portable device and easy to carry around in your pocket.
It also comes with an encryption software so you can easily create a password to protect your files.

Size is the main reason to get this. Portability at this capacity is a no-brainer for an avid photographer/videographer on the go. I paid about the same amount for this same version, but half the capacity (1TB) a few years ago.

Great SSD, can't go wrong with this one. I got it primarily to shoot videos off my phone. Its small size also makes it convenient to carry around in my pocket. Has decent read/write speeds and while the newer T9 is better, you can get this for cheaper for 70-80% of the same performance.
P.S. I added a metal ring that attaches to my magsafe. That way, I don't need to hold on to the SSD while recording stuff.

Haven't been using it long but the setup is pretty simple and easy. Also as someone who likes to work on the go I love the sleek design - it's super lightweight and portable!! Definitely can recommend.

The T7 is a fast and convenient SSD. I use this particular one as a Time Machine for my wife's iMac. I have others that I also use for ease of transfer between my computers and my sons PCs.

Picked this drive up to use as a backup on my Mac Studio. It’s working great & was ready to use right out of the box. No issues after 11 months of daily use.
