    Good fast drive (3.2 gen 2). Get the fast ones when they are in special. Only issue is the ribbed surface. Hard to affix a label.

    I've had many Samsung SSD's and they work amazingly for me. I figured since I go through the 1TB SSD's so much I might as well go for the 4TB version.

    I was running out of room on my MacBook Pro's SSD, thanks to a growing number of Test VM's that I need for work. After reading up on different options, I went ahead with this one and I'm glad I did. Not only is it super compact and nicely ruggedized, but it's fast enough to run my VM's like they were still on the native hard drive. Can't really ask for more than exactly what I needed to keep my workflow running smoothly.

    LOST ALL MY PRECIOUS VIDEOS AND PICS

    I am so hurt right now. For years I had been storing all my personal pics and videos on SSDs because I have sensitive data that I didn't want to expose to the cloud. For years I had been storing these on a sandisk SSD but it was only 1 Tb and I was running out of room. I bought this SSD last year because of the great reviews and because it was advertised as being "durable". I ported all my files to it and it worked well for a couple months until recently. I did a backup of all my files about a week ago and all seemed good. I could see all my photos and videos. Today I plugged it in to my phone (also samsung) to do another backup and it said that the drive was corrupt and needed to be formatted. I clicked ok to format it because I had this issue with HDDs before and everytime I formatted them I never lost data. Well this time I did because apparently the formatting process completely wiped the drive clean or somehow the data was so corrupted that I lost ALL my data. Everything. Hours of precious videos and pics of my baby girl just gone. I know it was not user error because I always make sure to properly unmount the drive before unplugging it from my phone or computer. I am extremely meticulous about ensuring the drive is properly unmounted to avoid this exact situation. I have NEVER had this issue with my sandisk SSD that I have been using for half a decade. Or any of the HDDs I have used to store game data (I specifically chose an SSD because they don't have moving parts and are supposed to be more reliable than HDDs). I am so hurt right now, I am sobbing with rage and regret for having trusted samsung with all my most precious family photos and videos. I had this SSD less than a year before it failed in spectacular fashion and I have lost so much, it is like losing all your family home videos and pics in a fire. Not to mention all the other files, I had years worth of documents, tax documents, complex personal coding projects I had poured, important court paperwork, hudnreds, maybe thousands of hours of work, all gone. I had a less than a TB stored on this stupid thing before it failed. Words can't describe the dissapointment and regret I feel. Even if I get a full refund it could never replace the sentimental value of all the pics and videos I lost. Hands down one of the worst days of the year, maybe of my entire life.
