    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.

    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.

    A Good Backup Drive

    It took me a while to get it going for what I wanted it for, but that has nothing to do with the device itself, just Microsoft dropping support for non-cloud backups. Once I got it working it worked perfectly well. I don't leave it connected, just put it in for the new backup periodically.

    We use these SSD's for our productions on a monthly basis. The rugged design is crucial for us when sending out drives to clients after a shoot, and these SSD's always perform phenomenally! Quick, fast, slim, and efficient.

    Fast Ice On Demand, But a Bit Loud

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve been using this ice maker in my kitchen for a while now, and it’s been a game-changer for keeping drinks cold without running to the store. It produces ice quickly — a fresh batch in about 8–10 minutes. The auto shut-off works as promised, and the compact size makes it easy to place on a counter or move around. The only downside is the noise during the freeze cycle. It’s not unbearable, but if you’re in a quiet apartment or want it running while you sleep, you’ll definitely hear it. Bottom line: Great for small households, bar setups, or RVs. Just expect some sound while it’s working.

    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.

    Reliable SSD

    My partner works in content creation for small businesses and has been working off HDD’s forever. I personally have been using internal and external SSD’s for a while and finally got her on the SSD wave. She’s extremely happy about the amount of storage and speed she is able to utilize. She is able to work Lightroom and Davinci projects directly from the drive with no hiccups. The T7 shield also provides her extra security from drops, which she was most worried about. Chose this over the Sandisk after their recent controversy with the Extreme Pro SSD issues. We’re extremely satisfied with the purchase.

    Sturdy, but cable needs to be more flexible.

    I only use it in my vehicle to capture video. It has held up well with being next to keys and other items in a central storage area, but the cable should be redesigned in my opinion, because the bend inside the storage area has caused it to expose the metal braid around the connector over the last two years. The metal was exposed before the two-year mark and the storage unit is positioned and held in place with a band, but the connector goes out at a 45-degree angle up and then the cable needs to come back down and wrap around the storage area to make it back to the top of the unit. It is robust and deals with a lot of bouncing even on trail rides and such, so I would buy it again.

    Needed to get some extra storage for my XBOX Series X and this fit the bill. My house is fairly dusty so I wanted something that could handle that environment. It's small so it's easy to place out of sight. Performance: Transferring games from the internal storage and from the 1TB expansion card to this drive I was getting between 214.26 and 226.41Gbps (Gigabits) which equates to 26.8 - 28.3 GBps (Gigabytes) with the games ranging between 500MB to 40GB. So far pretty solid drive. Samsung always makes really good products, and this tiny drive is no exception
