    A Great Little Big Drive!

    I was looking for an external ssd for my new laptop and spotted this one afternoon. It was on sale so I bought it. It was a lot smaller that it looked in the picture (a good thing). The drive is encased in a rubber-like substance and has a USB-C port next to a small LED that shows the drive is operating and transferring data on one end. It comes with two small connectors: one has a USB-C connector on both ends; the other has a USB-A 3.0 connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other. This allows connection to most computers available today (including quite a few older ones). Its dimensions are 3.5" x2.3" x 0.3" or smaller than a 3" x 5" spiral top note pad. I use it for projects and work-related files but this would be perfect for a gaming computer. Plugged into a USB-A 3.2 USB port, this thing transfers files very fast but plugged into a USB-A Thunderbolt 4.0 port transfers are nearly instantaneous. While running projects the external drive behaves just like the internal SSD on my laptop. Transfers and updates are in the "blink of an eye", so to speak. If your computer is short on SSD space, this device is an excellent choice for additional hard drive space for gaming, photographs, videos, etc. Another use for this is taking photos from your digital camera or phone and archiving them. Depending on the camera/phone, you may need a port adapter. All in all, a superb peripheral with a tiny footprint but huge storage capacity at a modest price. Highly recommend.

    I bought this as a memory storage device for my first trip to El Salvador, and had over 2,450+ photos taken, and approximately 150+ videos,, and i believe I used about 20% of the space. This is the best portable hard drive i have ever utilized. Extremely lightning fast transfer speeds, I've never carried so much storage space within such a small item. Its unbelievable how much storage is able to be stored nowadays.

    Not an awful lot to say. After my "competitor brand" external HD began showing signs of failing I quickly ran out and got another Samsung. They also came highly recommended by my computer repairman who said he never gets anyone in the shop for problems with their Samsung drives.

    Using for Series X storage for non X/S

    Using for storage for everything not X/S on my Series X, brought to replace a 500GB i brought to demo. The 500GB was perfect just needed larger storage. 2TB is major upgrade and the speed is 2x faster than sata but only 1/3rd of the X/S internal memoery. I usually transfer at 5gb/s with X and this tranafers at around 2.2gb/s while sata tops out around 800mb/s when moving games (figures are what X box shows on screen). Very fast device, i formatted and tested and uodated the firmware on PC First using Magician before installing to Series X

    Sleek and Compact, Works great! 4TB SSD to help with data transfers and backup of projects. Definitely a plus handling audio recording data for large projects and high bit/sample rates. The price is reasonable, and it's a Samsung! We have Samsung ssds in each of our audio location recording and studio production pcs, as well as in our business pcs; they have been doing the job for several years, always reliable.

    I bought this to do external video recordings with my Panasonic DC-S52X, instead of using an SD card. This works excellently. It survived a drop. It runs fast. I can edit the video directly from the drive and have excellent performance in Premiere Pro. It's also just plug and play for your computer. I let my camera format it for its use, which took seconds. I bought the 2TB version, and it's done exactly as I hoped it would do. I definitely recommend it.
