    I originally bought a SanDisk Extreme 2TB, but after reading all the failures with it, I decided to switch to Samsung. The speeds of the Samsung are fast and it's a rugged product. Very happy.

    Quick, sturdy and great for my work flow. I video in 8K and photograph in extreme conditions and require a fault tolerant and quick storage device to lay down all my work on the fly and in the field. This SSD drive meets those requirements perfectly.

    Samsung 2TB SSD Great

    This is a very nice device. It is a replacement for a horrifically bad device, a portable SSD made by SanDisk/Western Digital. The Samsung is fast, runs at its rated speed, I’ve seen essentially a GB/second transfer, and easy to use.

    Pleasantly surprised at how well constructed this item is. Wasn't expecting it to be as ruggedized. A little overkill for my needs but nice to know it won't shatter if I drop it :-)

    This external drive is one of the best I've ever had. It's fallen down on the floor multiple times and also mistakenly has been left on my deck under the rain for night to morning, no damage or lack of function.

    The absolute best bang for your buck for portable secure storage. Above average reading and writing speeds and Hardy built-in case for protection. It's also super lightweight and extremely portable.

    Just. Works! I've been using it for the past few months now as a drive connected to my PS5 to store the PS4 games on it for playing. I've yet to run into any problems with it. Definitely recommend.

    Liked the little weight and sturdiness of this storage bank. I store my old works and also photography but not always want to carry with me a big and heavy external storage with me. This comes handy.
