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.

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.

I use this as a backup drive and it’s been a fast, easy and reliable performing drive.
Using the drive has been easy and performance of the backups is quick.

This works perfectly in my Tesla Model Y. Quick format and adding the required folder allowed my dashcam to go from 1 hour to 1 month of storage. One of the easiest upgrades to apply

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.
