    A Great Little Big Drive!

    I was looking for an external ssd for my new laptop and spotted this one afternoon. It was on sale so I bought it. It was a lot smaller that it looked in the picture (a good thing). The drive is encased in a rubber-like substance and has a USB-C port next to a small LED that shows the drive is operating and transferring data on one end. It comes with two small connectors: one has a USB-C connector on both ends; the other has a USB-A 3.0 connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other. This allows connection to most computers available today (including quite a few older ones). Its dimensions are 3.5" x2.3" x 0.3" or smaller than a 3" x 5" spiral top note pad. I use it for projects and work-related files but this would be perfect for a gaming computer. Plugged into a USB-A 3.2 USB port, this thing transfers files very fast but plugged into a USB-A Thunderbolt 4.0 port transfers are nearly instantaneous. While running projects the external drive behaves just like the internal SSD on my laptop. Transfers and updates are in the "blink of an eye", so to speak. If your computer is short on SSD space, this device is an excellent choice for additional hard drive space for gaming, photographs, videos, etc. Another use for this is taking photos from your digital camera or phone and archiving them. Depending on the camera/phone, you may need a port adapter. All in all, a superb peripheral with a tiny footprint but huge storage capacity at a modest price. Highly recommend.

    As a photographer, I use the Samsung external drives and have bought many through Best Buy. Love the online order and curbside pick up. It's super easy. Best Buy employee, Tanner, was friendly and quick with meeting me at curbside.
