    For such a small devise I have 1 Terabyte of storage. It allowed me to purchase a much faster iMac at a more affordable price.

    I caught this on sale, great buy! I use it with my laptop/mobile DAW for storing samples and music files. Write speed is fast enough for my use, small yet sturdy build. Has a premium feel to it. I will definitely buy this model again with more storage.

    I have 2TB T7 connected to my iMac. It gets too hot to touch once in a while as some of the other reviewers mentioned. I noticed a white spot on the USB cable and a white stain under the SSD on my desk. looks like it leaked some kind of white glue or wax. SSD is less that 1 year old. Samsung will not send a replacement unless I send my SSD first (even with a CC hold for the whole amount). They are forcing customers to buy more storage to backup data while faulty SSD is sent for a repair.

    It’s a very fast Ssd but I think the security feature on this Ssd crashes the Ssd to fail. Every time I connect it, enter my password it disconnects and say reconnect it. I have personal data on here that I can’t get off. I would not purchase again… only because I just got it and it crashed on a fast gaming computer. Used for storage files

    Every Other of job I get I buy one on these. So I probably have around 10 of them. Does the job. The whole transfer speed well let's just say real world I'm getting around 500 to 600 MB When I transfer files. Not the 1000 they say. I do transfer a lot big 4k Files from my job sites everyday. If you can catch on sale grab them. Yall can check us out on You Tube: All Access Construction. Of course I had to plug us.. :)
