    Works as expected, I use this to store all personal/school documents on. It is much slimmer than I expected from looking at the picture when ordering. This is not a bad thing, however.

    I use this SSD for storing my PS4 games. The connectivity is seamless and the included cables are fantastic. Samsung always does a fantastic job with their internal and external SSDs, and this product is no different.

    I am an Insurance Adjuster and have a ton of photos on my laptop. I bought this external SSD and transfered all photos to the external SSD and the performance of my laptop was like I bought a new one. The transfer speed is fantastic.

    Lifesaver as a backup drive.

    Always backup! Trust me. I’ve had many computers and drives become door stops over the years. Having said that, this drive (I have multiple) works well on that capacity as well as an external boot drive or just a travel/ extra data storage device. My only quibble is, being that I use it with Macs, I wish they had a way to enable trim easily on legacy versions of OSX because Apple makes life difficult in this regard when it comes to 3rd party SSD’s.

    I bought this one for my ex when we were together, and she loved it. I originally wanted to get one myself for the ease of storage and streaming from the same drive. I still plan on getting one soon. God Bless

    I bought this to back-up my MacBook and it’s been working really well. It saves data much faster than my old external hard-disk drive. It’s very portable and lightweight. Also bought one for extra storage on my PS4 and it works great.

    I have the T5, and it is quick, but this one is extremely quick. I transferred 30Gb of data in less than 5 minutes. I have a MacBook 2018. Your device has to be compatible to be able to take advantage of the speed. USB-C.
