    Very compact and sturdy. Comes with Samsung software called Magician to protect manage the contents of the drive. More user friendly and good interface. Transfer speeds are really amazing. Compatible with both my laptop and IPad. Definitely worth for the price and reliability.

    Great hard drive for the price. Super fast read/write speeds and very reliable. I have several of these and haven't been disappointed. Good price considering SSD prices but cheaper would be better.

    I am currently using this as a backup for my I-Mac. The blue color matches the blue color of the Mac. Small and super durable. No problems at all, Set it and forget it. The drive is a perfect match for Apple's Time Machine backup.

    It works great for me. I am not one that gets real technical about measuring speeds. All I know is it works faster than other drives I have. On sale it was a great price for a 2TB, others were much higher in price. Love the outer shell for durability in the event I need to take it with me and accidentally drop it.

    Very fast. Life savior. I thought I had lost it all with the coffee spill but we were able to remove the HD and save files to this Samsung external drive without saving my files on someone else’s computer. I back up my new computer more often now. It is light weight. I am very pleased with this purchase.

    This drive is fast, compact, and easy to use. It comes with both USB-A and USB-C cables so you can connect it to your system as long as you have an open port. It supports Mac and Windows and was pretty much just plug and play.

    So far, this has worked great!! I’ve had it a month now, it’s travelled with me to Europe annd back, and it does exactly what I expect it to - I store all my photos on it and edit them on my laptop. It’s fast, small, and works great!

    I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. "Value" is a relative term. Was the price a bit daunting? YES! However knowing the value of the content going on this drive is literally Priceless! I will now sleep better at night knowing all of the files are saved and safer. The files now transferred by The Geek Squad (Jason & Jackson @ the Midwest City, OK store) is a professional lifetime, 46 years of learning and training materials for Aging Adults, Adult Protective Services & Domestic Violence professionals and para-professionals at a state, national, an d international level. Note my previous 5TB drive was also purchased from Best Buy several years ago and it was an excellent drive but I used it ALL THE TIME and since it was a disk drive it eventually became unreliable. That was not the fault of the drive but simply constant use. Again......Having these priceless files now on a solid state drive I can now sleep at night. Final note: I also want to thank Bryan in the Midwest City, OK store who on my visit went out of his way to find not only the right drive, but actually locate it in the store for me.

    This is my go-to external photo storage solution for macOS. It’s fast enough to quickly access my library and big enough to give me room to grow. The rugged design is a nice bonus, making it feel durable without being too bulky. If you need a reliable and speedy SSD for photos, projects, or backups, this one’s a solid pick.
