    I got this one on sale if I remember it correctly. I had to buy one for an extra memory in case the laptop that I purchased ran out of memory as I'm not comfortable yet with the cloud and paying for a monthly fee for it.

    Nice and compact with generous 2GB storage in a hopefully rugged enclosure Haven’t speed tested but seems to be functioning ok. Runs fine on Mac mini although I reformatted it and ditched the Samsung software One puzzle is the provision of micro usb to usb-c and usb A to usb C cables but no USB-C to USB-C cable.

    I already have two Samsung 1 TB SSDs, one just for videos and the other for photos, documents and music. Both of these are getting full so decided time to upgrade to a higher capacity unit.

    Works perfectly with Time Machine on my MacBook Air. Because of my lack of technical skills, a quick call to Apple support was all I needed to solve my backup problem using this device.

    Great SSD for what ever your means are. i would say the only down fall from this is that the rubber around the SSD will grip on to every piece of dirt and dust.

    Generally speaking, it’s a good drive. However, the read and write speeds advertised are not even close. It took 24 hours to move 100GB from a MacBook Air M1 to the external.
