    Review on Samsung on turbo SSD

    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

    great SSD. I have a laptop with 500gbs of storage on it so I'm pretty limited with what I can and cannot download, often jockeying between several different applications at any one time. This SSD solved my problem and also just works super well. It has a built in software that acts as a protective shield to stop any ne'er-do-wells from breaking in, in case I lose track of it. The price is a bit steep and the 'water resistant' feature feels like a cheap tack-on to raise the price (lets be real why would this thing ever be near water. its like giving a hotdog lead-lined wrappers or putting a thermal coating on a pencil) but I got it during a sale so it balances out.

    This 1TB was actually much smaller than I was expecting, which was great. I didn’t look at dimensions before buying, only capacity. I am currently using this as an external drive for my PS5 and I have no complaints. The transfer speeds from the internal drive to external are very fast, and the installation process couldn’t have been any easier. Very happy with this purchase

    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.

    Sturdy, fast, reliable. I am using this to store steam games and in the beginnning there was subtle lag but thats because stuff was still installing. Now i have almost my whole library downloaded and theres no noticible lag. MSI Creator Z16 Laptop btw. As a bonus, the password protection is really easy to set up and use as well.

    1TB is a decent amount for games. 1000GBs is atleast 10 100GB sized games. Transfer speeds are pretty fast. Samsung takes the cake in data storage/tranfer speeds for their extra storage devices.

    Samsung drives have always been my choice when it comes to internal SSD's or external hard drives and this is definitely well worth the purchase. The rugged shell and easy of use reliability has always been something I can count on.

    this is my backup drive for my computer. It has a USB 3.2 on the back, and when paired up to my high speed, USB port works flawlessly for raw data backup. I can also send images of my primary drive to this side on drive and it works with no issues at all. Well built, rubberized casing, LED indicator. Unit is very easy to store safely once back ups are done.

    This SSD was recommended to me by the Best Buy Geek Squad representative. I was skeptical about it, but I went ahead and bought it. This SSD is excellent and very fast when moving files. I like the design of the rugged-out skirt.

    I normally do video editing and I like to keep my work in an external HD. I have heard of this “little guy” and how fast & reliable it is so I bought one to test out and I have to say that I’m quite impressed.

    Great little hard drive with the simplicity, ease of use, and performance of a USB-C external SSD hard drive. A bonus with this item is the rubbery case for some family-proofing. This drive has worked flawlessly for storing and editing videos on both Mac and PC.
