    It does well what it is supposed to do. This was my second Samsung SDD and it is nice when I have to travel and have access to my files.

    I highly recommend this SSD drive since unlike an exterior drive with disks that can fail. This drive was purchased to restore back up data updated from my internet storage account when an exterior drive failed. All internal computer drives and exterior drives (including SSD drives-are backed daily). Though this drive is not the fastest, the price and quality was great.

    I needed ore space for my PC. I kept hearing about SSDs coming down in price. I waited and then I pounced. it is fast and does what it suppose to do. I use it for gaming and the games just load like butter. it isn't magic so the games that take long to load still take time to load, but like 3% faster. It is easy to use. it comes with a cord to hook it up to your PC. it is a great device

    Can't beat a fast external drive WHEN it runs fast

    This upgrade replaces 3 old external hard drives. While fast, I wasn't able to get near the claims of its speed (until a new PC). It doesn't play well with older USB ports. Using it on the old PC It was actually faster using USB 2.0 over 3.0! USB 3.0: It would start fast on 3.0 (up to 350mbps) then after only a few terabytes (on large file transfers) it would slow down to 30kbps! Yes kilobytes! Sometimes it would speed up again (up to 100Mbps) but would average about 1.5Mbps! I couldn't even use file syncing software to mirror my main drive; it would lock out and freeze. USB 2.0: It would steadily remain at between 20-40Mbps and could file sync. Format By default, it is formatted as exFAT instead of NTFS, so I reformatted to NTFS. It is no longer throttling, the speeds are more consistent, but slower for 3.0 (100-200Mbps) On the new PC This one has USB 3.2, which ran about 180-560Mbps. USB 3.1 runs about 260-400Mbps. USB 2.0 runs at 40-50Mbps. Testing My results were based on the highs and lows of a large transfer of about 1tb. That being said, I also ran DiskMark and the results were always higher there compared to real-world testing. For instance, DiskMark did reach 1060Mbps for USB 3.2, so it is now reaching the right speeds. Also, one of the cords that it came with intermittently lost connection, so the USB to C cable was no good. I discovered this early on, so it is not the cause of the throttling. I am wondering if there are bad sectors in the drive or maybe an issue with the controller. I could never replicate the issue on command. It seemed to only happen when you didn't want it to. I could have sworn it still throttled a few times since reformatting, but hasn't for the last month even when retesting. I never had so many issues with a device right out of the box. Regardless, as of now, it is working and runs fast on USB 3.2. I have tried a dozen cords and ports, and everything seems to be working as intended. If I had gotten it after a new PC, I may have never run into these problems and would have given it 5 stars.

    Let me first say that I haven’t been brave enough to test how rugged it is. But it’s definitely better protected than non rugged ones, which I also own. These are super fast and super reliable. I have had SSDs fail and not one of my Samsung ones have let me down.
