    The best money can buy! Great price, but most importantly, super reliable and dependable. The read/write speed is very fast and I use these on all my photo/video production projects. Has never failed me! Highly recommend.

    This is a good value. The transfer speed is really fast and it's really quite small. I've not tested out it's "rugged" features heavily but you can stick it in a backpack and not worry that it'll get damaged. Someone I know that uses MacOS said it was difficult to format, but I cannot confirm or deny that. I use a Windows machine and it works just fine right out the box.

    So very glad to have purchased this external.. To find a 4tb SSD external at a decent price point that is water resistant and durable. The transfer speeds were awesome and plenty of space for what I need. Use a lightning port on a computer if you have one. Makes a HUGE difference!

    Slim, fast transfer speeds, and great color. Love that drive included a C to C and USB to C cables. Prefect for someone like me who can easily switch between my older laptop to my newer desktop/phone to easily store photos and documents. Wish I would have made this purchase sooner.

    I needed an external for my gopro footage while out on the road, and this is exactly what I needed! I could plug in and transfer my files quickly and easily, and when I go to edit, I can just plug it right into my laptop. Not having to deal with slow speeds or storage issues is a life saver! If i ever need another storage, I'll be buying one of these.

    Bought this last month, I've put some heavy use on this bad boy. I have already traveled with it a few times, while working on the go, and it is great. It fell once from about 3 ft, no issues whatsoever. I've had no issues when editing 4K footage from the SSD, speed is pretty good, no issues when connecting to my macbook right out of the box. Reliable and solid SSD.

    I love the compact size of it. I’ve used it for several years and it’s still in very good shape. My favorite feature is that it has an app installed so you can password protect your files

    I own a few of these tiny little Samsung SSDs. Never a single issue with thousands of hours of use. Why buy any other brand when these work flawlessly, they are durable, they look great, they are compact and super light weight, and the specs are amazing. I really like all the color options, too! A little on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. Great job Samsung!

    I use on my xbox to transfer x/s games back and forth from the internal storage. Works great. Great transfer speeds. 10/10. All other games on it load in way faster.
