    I’ve purchased nothing but western digital for the past 15 years. This Samsung is my first from their brand and definitely won’t be my last. Great speed, and the quality of built not only looks sharp, but is insanely compact. Easy to take anywhere and even easier to setup with your Mac or pc. Solid drive!

    One of the best external SSD's out there. I have created two partitions on the drive to run Windows in Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro and to have an external HDD for additional storage. Speed is impressive even though it doesn't utilize Thunderbolt 3. USB 3.2 Gen 2 is more than fast enough for all my requirements!

    Thisnhas been one of my best purchases for my pc, external ram is very much needed when most PC's only come with around 500gb internal, great buy! No problems so far. And its been about a year since purchase. Still running strong and a highly reccomended product by me to my freinds for a while now!

    Working great, love the space. Games run perfectly, even with a cable that shows a low performance. Dropped it once and still works fine. I have mine taped to my laptop. Though I did see one on Amazon for $75. It was Prime Day however.

    I bought this external drive to copy files from my old computer to my new one. It was effortless. Just plug it into a USB port (cable included) and either copy selected files, or all files. The drive measures 3.5" by 2.25". The cable is approx 18"

    This SSD is a winner, having been updated from the old model that Samsung had out. It performs really well and is fast and efficient. I would highly recommend this drive as an option to store pictures and other files if you don't like using the cloud.

    I work out of 2 offices, the home and a shop I can continue an office project at home without dragging bulky equipment back and forth, the size is what sold me, both physical and storage capacity, the transfer speed is a bonus, worth every penny.
