    The built quality on this External SSD is truly outstanding. I find it to be easy to use and love the ability for it to encrypt data. Additionally, the transfer speeds are incredible. It is faster to transfer large files to this SSD compared to other External SSD's. Moreover, I like the inclusion of the USB Type-C to Type-C and USB Type-C to Type-A cable to allow for the connection of a wide range of devices, making it compatible for older devices, as well as, new ones.

    Ruler thin. This guy is so thin, I thought I bought the wrong item. Nope, this SSD is as compact as a couple of credit cards...I bought it solely as an apple iMac backup and boy is it fast.

    I can’t believe how much memory fits into such a small volume. I just plugged this into a port on my Mac computer, nothing else required. The shape goes well with my computer.

    This external drive is the fastest transfer device I have ever owned. And since it's USB-C, easy to travel and connect with my new Intel Core i7 Laptop. Very light, very portable, very fast.

    Good hardware but issues with Samsung software

    The SSD is fast and a large capacity. Even if according to specification, it is slower than the internal SSD on my laptop, I cannot really tell the difference. I use it for running Virtual Machine and software development. Where I had trouble is with Samsung Portable SSD software and Samsung Magician. I installed the Portable SSD software and got some very weird issues: I was NOT using encryption and the SSD start losing some changes. When I swap the SSD to another machine, folder or files created done on that machine were not appearing on the original machine. At one point, I reformatted the drive and it continues reporting the old folder, even though they were completely inaccessible. After I finally removed the Samsung Portable software, the problem went away. That software is only require for using encryption. Another issue was with Samsung Magician software. It updated the firmware, which was good. I had it for over a month and strangely, the laptop was no longer able to sleep, took me a while to figure out that the issue was with the external SSD. Uninstalling Samsung Magician fix the issue. None of Samsung software is required for basic use. But it was time consuming to troubleshot and figure out that Samsung software cause more harm than good.
