    I installed Mac OS on this SSD drive and now run my iMac (Intel with a tiny SSD drive). It starts up in less than half the time and no more slowdowns when I open multiple programs (I did add more RAM). Plus I can take it with me If I need to work elsewhere and have access to a Mac.

    I use this for extended storage on my PS4/PS5 and it is excellent. Games load times decreased about 40%-50% on PS4, depending on the game. I also use it for PS4 games on my PS5 to free up valuable space on the internal storage. I highly recommend this for anyone with an extensive game library to help manage storage and avoid the constant re-download of games.

    SUPER FAST transfer speeds! I'm a Youtuber/content creator so I'm constantly transferring LARGE files that take forever! This hard drive is worth every penny with its lightening fast transfer speeds. It has made editing faster as well working directly off the a hard drive that is capable of running large files with ease!

    It started running a back up the moment I said "go" It has been a reliable option as my main back up on my MacBook Air running Time Machine. East to access to view the saved data.

    I bought this exact same drive in September 2024 for $99. Technology is supposed to get cheaper over time - this is absolutely absurd to charge almost triple the cost for the same item nearly 2 years later... I need a new drive because I like this one and am running out of space... but not at this cost!!

    This hard drive is super fast and a great deal! Amazing how much storage you get from something thats smaller than my wallet. I know this hard drive could potentially fail in the future but with no moving parts (SSD), its way more reliable than the hard drives we all used just a few years ago.

    This is one of those products that shows you why Samsung is a world class company - this thing is completely silent and downloads/runs PS4 games just as fast, if not faster than my PS5 itself. And it is much smaller than you might think. For anyone considering this: Note that it does not currently support PS5 files. It is only able to store all your PS4 games so you can use the limited PS5 memory for PS5 games only. It is still very handy since mosy t current PS5 owners still play PS4 games too

    Fantastic SSD with very fast read/write speeds. Great for photo editing or backing up computer hard drives. I have a few of these in 2TB and 4TB models and I've been happy with all of them.
