    OK I'm a Mac user and I had some problems with some other hard drives, external but it could've been because my hard drive was full. When I tried to clear off my hard drive because it was full. Had a problem plugging in some other brand drives, but this little drive I could plug-in i'm guessing it must have an onboard cache, so It was able to give me a space to copy stuff off my hard drive to free it up. So This Samsung drive came in handy. In trying to clear up a hard drive that was having problems due to being full. Hope this helps someone out there. Have a great day anyway.

    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.

    Fast and reliable. I've never had to put its durability to use, thankfully, but the extra touch exterior doesn't make it too bulky. Get's warm but not uncomfortably hot in my experience. It's a dust magnet, but not a big deal.

    I use it to back up photos on my iphone and has so far worked flawlessly. My iphone had no issues recognizing. Photos transfered over pretty fast. It’s small and portable. I carry it in a little hardshell case. I’m glad I went with this vs a usbc thumb drive.

    Work great for intended purpose but...

    We used to use the small rugged Sandisks but after a corrupt batch our company started using these. They are fast and work great for their intended purpose. I'm taking off 1 star for the material of the casing. Nothing will stick to them. We have tried several types of very sticky tape (gaff, duct, shipping) and various stickers and shipping labels. Nothing sticks because the material is this weird, slippery rubbery material. It's like trying to put tape on a grease spill. People generally need to be able to label their hard drives but there is no way to attach a label or tape so labeling is nearly impossible. The only solution I found was to write directly on the label using a silver paint pen. This is fine if you never intend on using the hard drive for something else down the line so don't need to relabel it. I don't know if they can change the material but maybe if they include a pre-installed writable white area on the exterior that would solve the problem.
