    I have mostly used sandisks and had some issues. This one has been much more reliable.

    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.

    Lots of storage space in such a small package. Sales rep said I needed to buy a USB to USB-c cable, but it comes with one.

    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.

    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.

    Best SSD on the market! Very fast. I don’t even notice any speed differences between the internal drive and this external SSD. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for expanding storage without opening up their computer.

    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.

    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.
