    Had my HDD for about 8 years and figured it was time for an upgrade. Switching to this SSD was a great decision. This thing is much faster and definitely what I needed.

    Reliable and essential. I used this to store video and audio recordings of my choir students during Covid. Very useful when in-person singing is a super-spreading event and video/audio are essential.

    Wanted to backup several old laptops before recycling. Online chat and store repair team said it would work for older operating versions. Failed on the very first laptop I tried (NT operating system). Did work on Windows 10. Disappointed.

    The pictures are deceiving when you expect a hard drive to be a certain size. This little guy is super small and compact (fits in the palm of your hand). I can't believe how compact SSD drives have become. Good quality drive.

    This external hard drive is great. I'm using it as additional storage to use for making & editing videos on Final Cut Pro on my Macbook. I have no issues using it while editing live or anything. I am thoroughly satisfied.

    So far so good. The market for portable ssd is getting crowded and prices have come down some so there are good options out there. This samsung is quite good compared to what is out there for the price. I almost went with Sandisk but couldn't wait for their newer gen 2 version so I went with this one. I've had no problems with this drive so far. I would probably not get this at full retail and would wait for a good sale. If you can get this at a sale, I think it's worth it.

    Purchased as my external storage on my PS5 to play backwards compatible games. They load so quick it’s amazing. Similar speeds to the internal drive and that’s saying a lot! A little pricey, but best you can possibly buy.

    A truly great drive, incredibly fast. I bought this for a blackmagic pocket cinema camera 4k and be warned, you need a T5 -- NOT a t7. If you're looking for a drive that you can edit 4k video off of, this is the one.

    This drive is super fast. I use it for video editing and it works great off with no lag when editing and no frames were dropped. I’d recommend the 2 TB size as the 1 TB fills up very quickly.
