    great SSD. I have a laptop with 500gbs of storage on it so I'm pretty limited with what I can and cannot download, often jockeying between several different applications at any one time. This SSD solved my problem and also just works super well. It has a built in software that acts as a protective shield to stop any ne'er-do-wells from breaking in, in case I lose track of it. The price is a bit steep and the 'water resistant' feature feels like a cheap tack-on to raise the price (lets be real why would this thing ever be near water. its like giving a hotdog lead-lined wrappers or putting a thermal coating on a pencil) but I got it during a sale so it balances out.

    This 1TB was actually much smaller than I was expecting, which was great. I didn’t look at dimensions before buying, only capacity. I am currently using this as an external drive for my PS5 and I have no complaints. The transfer speeds from the internal drive to external are very fast, and the installation process couldn’t have been any easier. Very happy with this purchase

    Sturdy, fast, reliable. I am using this to store steam games and in the beginnning there was subtle lag but thats because stuff was still installing. Now i have almost my whole library downloaded and theres no noticible lag. MSI Creator Z16 Laptop btw. As a bonus, the password protection is really easy to set up and use as well.

    1TB is a decent amount for games. 1000GBs is atleast 10 100GB sized games. Transfer speeds are pretty fast. Samsung takes the cake in data storage/tranfer speeds for their extra storage devices.

    Samsung drives have always been my choice when it comes to internal SSD's or external hard drives and this is definitely well worth the purchase. The rugged shell and easy of use reliability has always been something I can count on.

    This SSD was recommended to me by the Best Buy Geek Squad representative. I was skeptical about it, but I went ahead and bought it. This SSD is excellent and very fast when moving files. I like the design of the rugged-out skirt.
