    Big fan! It integrated well into my iMac and it freed up a bunch of space on my internal hard drive. It's plugged in and running 24/7 and I've had no problems in at least 6 months.

    Every Other of job I get I buy one on these. So I probably have around 10 of them. Does the job. The whole transfer speed well let's just say real world I'm getting around 500 to 600 MB When I transfer files. Not the 1000 they say. I do transfer a lot big 4k Files from my job sites everyday. If you can catch on sale grab them. Yall can check us out on You Tube: All Access Construction. Of course I had to plug us.. :)

    Overheated and leaked some white glue/wax

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have 2TB T7 connected to my iMac. It gets too hot to touch once in a while as some of the other reviewers mentioned. I noticed a white spot on the USB cable and a white stain under the SSD on my desk. looks like it leaked some kind of white glue or wax. SSD is less that 1 year old. Samsung will not send a replacement unless I send my SSD first (even with a CC hold for the whole amount). They are forcing customers to buy more storage to backup data while faulty SSD is sent for a repair.

    It’s a very fast Ssd but I think the security feature on this Ssd crashes the Ssd to fail. Every time I connect it, enter my password it disconnects and say reconnect it. I have personal data on here that I can’t get off. I would not purchase again… only because I just got it and it crashed on a fast gaming computer. Used for storage files
