Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent hard drive that assisted in backing up most of my existing hard drive. Good space for the value.

Purchased to use with both my laptop and desktop. I can put everything on it and use it with whichever computer I want. Recommended to my friend who bought one as well.

Its good as promised. Fast, efficient, and reliable.

This upgrade replaces 3 old external hard drives. While fast, I wasn't able to get near the claims of its speed (until a new PC). It doesn't play well with older USB ports. Using it on the old PC It was actually faster using USB 2.0 over 3.0! USB 3.0: It would start fast on 3.0 (up to 350mbps) then after only a few terabytes (on large file transfers) it would slow down to 30kbps! Yes kilobytes! Sometimes it would speed up again (up to 100Mbps) but would average about 1.5Mbps! I couldn't even use file syncing software to mirror my main drive; it would lock out and freeze. USB 2.0: It would steadily remain at between 20-40Mbps and could file sync. Format By default, it is formatted as exFAT instead of NTFS, so I reformatted to NTFS. It is no longer throttling, the speeds are more consistent, but slower for 3.0 (100-200Mbps) On the new PC This one has USB 3.2, which ran about 180-560Mbps. USB 3.1 runs about 260-400Mbps. USB 2.0 runs at 40-50Mbps. Testing My results were based on the highs and lows of a large transfer of about 1tb. That being said, I also ran DiskMark and the results were always higher there compared to real-world testing. For instance, DiskMark did reach 1060Mbps for USB 3.2, so it is now reaching the right speeds. Also, one of the cords that it came with intermittently lost connection, so the USB to C cable was no good. I discovered this early on, so it is not the cause of the throttling. I am wondering if there are bad sectors in the drive or maybe an issue with the controller. I could never replicate the issue on command. It seemed to only happen when you didn't want it to. I could have sworn it still throttled a few times since reformatting, but hasn't for the last month even when retesting. I never had so many issues with a device right out of the box. Regardless, as of now, it is working and runs fast on USB 3.2. I have tried a dozen cords and ports, and everything seems to be working as intended. If I had gotten it after a new PC, I may have never run into these problems and would have given it 5 stars.

Life saver! Almost lost all my stuff on my old HDD drive but this came in clutch getting all my files quickly onto it

I love the the ability to be able to put this in my pocket and go about my day without the fear of damaging the SSD. It is SUPER fast, and light.

Pretty rugged and compact. Lots of storage space!!

Great product for price and is a work horse. Durable and easy to carry.

Great external ssd fast, durable and compact size. I already purchase a 2nd one....

This Samsung drive is great, lots of space, very fast, small and compact. It’s everything I need.

I got this for storage for my xbox series s and my ipad mini 6th gen. Im really impressed. Glad i got one.

So far so good. Fast enough to install software on it to save space on the system drive. No heating up. Large, ok price, no issues.

Worked like a charm. The data transfer to this SSD - which amounted to more than a terabyte - took far less time than it would have taken using a mechanical disk drive as the archival device. It was so good that I have shelved plans to buy a larger mechanical disk drive for backup. This much smaller and much faster device should satisfy my archival needs for both documents and photographs for years.

I like how small and portable this device is in comparison to other hard drives of similar capacity.

These are my go to drives. Super fast and reliable.

Great product! Works great and faster than other hard drives! Very pleased.

Extremely fast video transfer speeds and slim for easy storage in bag or pocket

Great speed and capacity, it transfers files quickly and makes backing up workstations easy.

It’s up and running still I would give it a five star rating, I would say that the rubber casing came off now it’s just a silver body metal SSD which works still and I bought this three years ago. One critique I do have is the USB c to USB c cable that it comes in it’s very loose so I had to purchase another one from Amazon and now it’s good

Perfect go anywhere size drive. Capacity big enough to backup entire computer! Very happy with this!
