    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.

    This little guy does it all! I bought it to edit 4k video on my MacMini, but then realized I can use it to shoot directly to! It's crazy fast and reliable.

    Rugged and durable SSD

    Very rugged and durable SSD that will not scratch other devices when thrown in a backpack. I have 100% confidence in this SSD when traveling. Do note that the Samsung magician software is not currently compatible with MacOS, this is completely optional however. Using the ExFat format, I got speeds in the ~350 mb/s on MacOS Ventura (M1 silicon). I reformatted the drive to APFS encrypted (Apple Specific) and got read/write speeds in the ~900 mb/s range. I chose this SSD over the Sandisk Extreme due to extra drop protection and the silicon coating.

    Not sure how the rubber finish will last over time but, it feels solid now and also “locks” itself to the desk when placed which is nice. Transfer speeds are great. The only negative is that the included cord is too long for my use case. Irs probably 8-10 inches long when all I need is 1-3 inches for laptop usage. I swapped the cord out with another USB-C fast cable that is smaller so it works great for my setup now.

    A high-quality SSD drive that is priced right

    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.
