    For those looking for well built, reliable, compact and fast transfer of data (images), I have found these small external hard drives to be everything you could ask for in an external drive. Built tough, and very durable and reliable. I have 4 and will be buying more. Once they get up to larger capacity SSD I will be buying them as well.

    I love this ssd drive. Not only is it made by Samsung but this thing is rugged. Its got like a rubberized exterior and is easiy to grip. Its small enough to fit in your shirt pocket and its fast when transferring from ssd to ssd. The only drawback is its price. Probably in sn year they will be half the cost and much more afordable.

    Durable SSD, much slimmer than I anticipated. I’m not getting into specifics but transfer speeds are noticeably fast, thing flies. Definitely already dropped it a few times without any signs of wear. Samsung makes great products.

    I've been using the Samsung T5's for about 6 to 7 years now and I really thought those were the best and super fast but wow have times changed. I'm sure when I bought them, they were top tier of SSD's. I just recently purchased the T7 and its a huge change in speed. (For me anyway) Same reliability as always and have never had any issues with the samsung SSD. Fast and reliable and now adding the rubberized coating to make them a little more resistant to scratches and drops, etc... I'm sure these will now last me a good 6,8+ years. My only gripe is they're pretty expensive compared to other brands but since I've used them for a while now, they have not let me down. So I'll continue to pay a little extra I guess to get what I want and need.

    I bought this to replace my old HDD that somehow got corrupted. This SSD is blazing fast, small, light, and portable. I ripped my bluray and 3d movies to it and plug into my Xbox series X and turned it into a media hub. This is definitely worth buying, I have absolutely NO COMPLAINTS

    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.

    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.
