    Perfect drive to upgrade my iMac without having to remove the screen. Works fast and was easy to format and install Sonoma. Recommend this to anyone that is looking for a reliable SSD from Samsung.

    This is the hard drive to have. A super fast processing transferring files and organizing.. It’s a nine day difference from any other hard drive. You have to spend the money where you need the most.

    Bought this to use to backup the files on my wife's laptop. Like that it is "Solid State", small in size. Connected it to the docking station that the laptop is connected to. All is good.

    Works great! Its fast and holds a ton of space I couldn't have asked for more. The price was fair a bit high only because 2tb is nothing nowadays and if you set a password dont forget you have to put it in on every bootup or device change, you'll think you lost you files lol.

    I am someone who is careful of my data/photographs and use external devices as backup for my Computer and data needs. This drive is an SSD .. small, compact, quiet -- and it does work (I did accomplish my backup of data in an appropriate length of time - and it was verified because I always do a random check afterwards, and the files were there and usable. All in all, I'm pleased so far (and it's not been that long owned), but I suspect this will be a way for me to rotate inbetween other hard drive backups so that I don't risk losing the files I have created. COST was also appropriate - I purchased while on sale on Best Buy and it was comparable to (slightly higher) than traditional HDD Drives. (NOTE -- I can't verify the water resistance factor -- I'm not yet ready to dunk hard drives into water to prove that!)

    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.

    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.

    My back up drive on my computer was going bad. Best Buy geek squad could no recover the data. Sent me to a specialty shop to do this. Needed a back up drive for them to transfer the data to. This worked perfectly.

    So far, this unit is performing very well. The write speed is fast and the connection is stable. Data gets pulled instantaneously and video plays back with no delay. Time will tell, but for now, very happy.
