    Fast & Furious

    This is my 2nd of these drives & I couldn't be happier with them. They are LIGHTNING fast when it comes to transferring large amounts of data from an Android device & vice-versa. They're perfect for those who take a lot of pictures or who use their mobile device like a laptop PC & need an external-type drive that's a more stable & reliable alternative to the cloud. The only downside to the device is the cataloging in that, if you do use this for pictures and you've spent time "tagging" your photos for easy searching, the tags DO transfer to the drive in the metadata, but ate not searchable in thus manner (as far as I can tell) as that's only a feature available in Samsung's Gallery. Another downside might be that you need to open each file individually, rather than being able to scroll through them like you'd be able to in a "Gallery" setting. ... I'm sure there are ways around this/apps to fix this, I just haven't found them yet. ... But- For the purpose of versatile, stable, reliable, FAST, large capacity & EXTREMELY portable data storage, this is TOTALLY the way to go for any of your storage needs!

    Best Portable SSD

    I purchased this to replace an older style portable HD and provide me more assurance my information would be safe and not get stranded when the old drive (not an SSD) decided to stop functioning. I couldn't be happier with the durability, speed, and compact nature of this device. Samsung memory devices have always performed well for me and I will always use them when possible.

    Why pay Apple's outrageous prices for more storage? This drive is large enough and speedy enough to house my Mac home folder! That's right, I simply change one setting on my Mac to start saving all my documents, downloads, etc. to this external drive automatically. I keep my applications on the internal SSD to not compromise speed. Think of the way people moved their photo or iTunes Library to an external drive... same concept. There are plenty of online videos to walk you through the process. The setting is found in System Settings > Users and Groups > Right-Click a User > Advance Options > Home Directory

    THis is a great hard drive. It's fast and offers a lot of storage. Compact drive with a cord that is actually a reasonable length to use the hard drive.

    This is an excellent addition to my M1 Mac Mini. The capacity of the drive, the small size and rugged shell are ideal as needed to clean up my desk and make my setup semi portable. This drive replaces a group of spinning HDDs resulting in a much smaller footprint, fewer power plugs and usb cables. Awesome upgrade.

    These hard drives have not given me much trouble at all. Very reliable, very fast, and very low profile. I use them with a lot of my video editing projects and currently own like 5 of these. I highly recommend. Also, the rugged design is great!

    Definitely happy with this product. As a graduate student, I needed something that was easy to carry (like a USB) but also tough enough not to break (like USBs tend to do). This is perfect. It's tough, durable, and water resistant. It also has great capacity and fantastic speeds.

    For those looking for well built, reliable, compact and fast transfer of data (images), I have found these small external hard drives to be everything you could ask for in an external drive. Built tough, and very durable and reliable. I have 4 and will be buying more. Once they get up to larger capacity SSD I will be buying them as well.

    I love this ssd drive. Not only is it made by Samsung but this thing is rugged. Its got like a rubberized exterior and is easiy to grip. Its small enough to fit in your shirt pocket and its fast when transferring from ssd to ssd. The only drawback is its price. Probably in sn year they will be half the cost and much more afordable.

    I bought this external ssd and loaded up macOS on it to boot. My late 2015 iMac computer now runs like a breeze. I would highly recommend this product. Fast and very small and sleek.

    Durable SSD, much slimmer than I anticipated. I’m not getting into specifics but transfer speeds are noticeably fast, thing flies. Definitely already dropped it a few times without any signs of wear. Samsung makes great products.

    I bought this to replace my old HDD that somehow got corrupted. This SSD is blazing fast, small, light, and portable. I ripped my bluray and 3d movies to it and plug into my Xbox series X and turned it into a media hub. This is definitely worth buying, I have absolutely NO COMPLAINTS
