Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have two of these Samsung SSD's a 1TB and a 2TB. I've had no problems with either one. They were easy to set up and to use. I can't tell about the lifetime reliability but so far so good. I use them primarily for backup. The 1TB I've had for two years and the 2TB about 3 months. I would recommend them based on my experience so far.

This external SSD includes both USB-C and the older style USB connectors in the box. It is small and thin with a metallic shell. While not tested, it says it has a 2 meter drop distance. I would recommend this to others looking for an external SSD.

Works great on 2020 iMac. I use it to run Windows 10 (via Bootcamp) and it runs quickly. There are online videos on how to install Windows on an external drive. It does get a bit warm so I keep the drive placed flat on the desk to help transfer the heat. Size is compact and feels like a solid product.

I love it how I can easily transfer my videos and get more space on my phone

The Samsung 2TB SSD delivers excellent performance and reliability, making it a strong choice for both everyday users and power users. With fast read and write speeds, it noticeably improves boot times, file transfers, and overall system responsiveness. The drive feels well-built and dependable, which is consistent with Samsung’s reputation for high-quality storage products.

Great accessory for my gaming laptop. Use it download and run games. Fast and convenient without having to upgrade the internal ssd and voiding the warranty

Small and sleek and runs my games pretty well so far!

Works excellent, gets a little hot when transferring large amounts of data. You can choose to use their application or not. Works very good without downloading their software, Would recommend purchase! A little spendy.

So small it gets lost on the desk. Gets hot sometimes. Super fast file transfers with MacMini M4. Could just plug into the back of the Mini with the right adapter, and hang there.

This has become my go-to for backup-drives. I use the 1TB for work, and the 2TB for computer-backup at home, with all my music and the like; and they both work wonderfully well. This specific drive was for home-backup, and it works beautifully for a quick plug-in and backup of my recent downloads and activity. I highly recommend this.

This has been one of the best purchases I have made from Best Buy! Small and powerful! Holds all of the stuff that bogs down the main PC but is just as easy to access.

works great...fast and convenient. I'm a mobile karaoke DJ (kj) and I carry a lot of material in that bad boy.

I'm very pleased with the drive's small form factor and stable construction. After switching to a portable SSD from an older external hard drive, the transfer speeds left me pleasantly surprised. I reformatted the drive to be more compatible with my Macbook. As someone with only the base model amount of storage, this drive has been a lifesaver.

Very compact 2 tb ssd reliable storage good for editing 4 k video

Perfect for my picture and video storage. I have lots of documents that pile up and I run out of space super fast. Really love this one, transfers data fast, is small and compact to carry around. 10 on 10 would recommend.

Design is perfect and so slick, it's blazing fast, connectivity is great, choice of cables is perfect, it warms up at times but its understandable since I'm a Dj and use it for that, tons of files, material and size is perfect and compact.

The most impressive speed-up for an older system is an SSD drive! They are wicked awesome fast compared to an HD disk. This one is very small. Not much bigger than a short stack of business cards. My only concern is when I run it if it lies on, or worse under, a blanket; it runs pretty dam hot. When you think about how small the chips are way down inside this thing, they have to be really, really much hotter, and heat is not a good thing for semiconductors. Historically semiconductors fail in the first 90-120 days or so. After that, they go on to outlive the person who bought them, so running it between a couple of blankets might be a way to eliminate infant mortality within the warranty period. Works fine. Lasts a long time. Won't rust. Won't bust. It's a product you can trust.

It work great. I use it for recording and it is reliable portable hardrive I ever use so far. Small and fast writing speed for videos I ever own so far. No problems or any other issues at all. Plug and use right away. I have hyperdeck for personal videos editing and this really helps.

Fast, small and easy to use. My main reason for buying this SAMSUNG SSD was the hardware encryption. In other brands that I bought before, I have hard time making the encryption to work smoothly. This SSD has a software easy to use and it works just great. Fast reading speeds, and small in size, very portable.

For its speed and size, this is really well priced. The capacity is big enough to handle just about any video shoot I've thrown at it. And is fast enough to both be directly recorded to from the camera and then turn around and edit all of that footage straight off of the drive with no lag or stutter at all. At least when plugged into USB 3.1 ports and higher. Its also incredible how light and compact it is despite being able to handle that kind of work load. I really appreciate that both a USB C to A and a C to C cable were included, as more and more thin laptops are coming with only Type C ports this allows compatability with a broad range of devices to work with. Including my smartphone. I guess my only nitpick about it is that the external casing could be a bit more protective. But a hardshell case for these things is not expensive and will likely do a better job of keeping it safe anyway. So thats really not a big deal at all.
