    Love these SSDs! I've been using them for a couple of years now and only have great things to say about them. I use them for video editing when I'm traveling and they work great. The read and write speeds allow 4k footage to be edited pretty easily. They're also lightweight and don't take up a lot of space.

    Samsung 4 T external hard drive

    I'm used to the very bulky external hard drives, this is slim, compact and well-traveled. the transfer speed for large files is also a nice factor, the C port usage with the new Lenovo i have ties in well for space saving style. Hands Down better that the Bulky 6T Seagate i use.

    Love it. Better than getting a regular hardrive if you want something that has much more longevity and much less of a risk to crash. Best buy has some of the best options for Solid State Drives.

    I bought this SSD 1TB external hard drive for my wife to store photos and videos so that she can free up her C drive. The size is incredibly small but it is fast and she loves it.

    So far so good with this storage device. I use it to make backups of my MacBook using Time Machine. It works great for this purpose. I have not had any issues with it yet. I like that it is small and easy to use. I would say that the price of this SSD is pretty good. Not too expensive. Overall, I would recommend it.

    Has been tossed around in my backpack quite a bit and now I don't have to worry as much as my old spinning external drive I used to carry around. Transfer speeds are amazing! Well worth it and great value!

    Phenomenal Fast SSD - Use for TimeMachine

    I initially bought this SSD as a backup for my TimeMachine on my Mac. However, I’ve also been able to use it for my Logic projects. A few weeks ago, I purchased a new Mac, and this SSD left me in awe. It transferred all my old Mac’s data to my new one in about 15 to 25 minutes. Even the Apple Genius specialist was impressed. I highly recommend this product. If you’re concerned about the color, it blends seamlessly with the Space Black Mac color.

    I'm upgrading 15 year-old external harddisk. This is exactly what I was looking for. It is light/small portable device and easy to carry around in your pocket. It also comes with an encryption software so you can easily create a password to protect your files.

    Portability is your main reason

    Size is the main reason to get this. Portability at this capacity is a no-brainer for an avid photographer/videographer on the go. I paid about the same amount for this same version, but half the capacity (1TB) a few years ago.

    Great SSD, can't go wrong with this one. I got it primarily to shoot videos off my phone. Its small size also makes it convenient to carry around in my pocket. Has decent read/write speeds and while the newer T9 is better, you can get this for cheaper for 70-80% of the same performance. P.S. I added a metal ring that attaches to my magsafe. That way, I don't need to hold on to the SSD while recording stuff.

    NEVER AN ISSUE

    I have used Samsung T5 and T7 and they both work for me without issue. I’m a filmmaker, my shop is MAC based and I use a lot of Blackmagic Design cameras, URSA Minis, Pocket Cinema Cameras and other BM gear. As I said at the top my use of the T7 with any of my cameras has been great and without issue. I format them, connect them via the provided cable and it provides me with uninterrupted recording. I have read many of the complaints about the incompatibility of the T7 with Blackmagic cameras but this has not been my experience. I do however recall being onset and noticed a PA having issues with the T5/7 not connecting with the camera and the issue was they were using a low grade USB-C cable. The moment I gave him a better cable the matter was resolved. Anyway I hope this helps someone.
