The drive works well. Access is fast. The issue is with the preloaded movies. They won't play with the app on tv. Trailers look good, nut movie wont play.

This was a freebie when I bought the Samsung 8500 TV. Came with two free 4K movies. You have to create a MGO account before the free movies are accessible. Device would be better if the MGO movie prices were cheaper for 4K. Device allow movie to be downloaded to the device before viewing. This is great if you have a slow internet connection.

Got it as a promotion item when I bought my new tv. Fantastic since I can download my 4k movies straight to it.

This may be a great item for certain Smart TVs made in 2014 and 2015 but is not compatible with the 2016 KS model Samsung Smart TVs YET. According to Samsung, M-Go changed to FandangoNow, and either one is REQUIRED to access content, including the "FREE" movies that made this promotion desirable. Samsung has not received the app for the 2016 models so the content cannot be accessed at all. This was free with TV purchase but hey it sure would be nice to watch the movies without the app, at least unless I want to buy more. Very disappointing to have a 1T drive that I cannot use at all. I gave it 3 stars because I don't know if this is the company who made the device or Samsung that's at fault but either way please look into it before buying.

This came free with my JS9000, and honestly I wasn't too impressed at first. However if you're a MGO user then this is extremely useful. The only thing I don't like is its not self powered. So if you're downloading a UHD movie overnight you need to leave whatever is powering it on too. No big deal but I'm sure there are some folks who would rather not deal with that.

I hooked it up to the TV and was able through the M-Go app. able to play one of the 2 movies that come unlocked. The move was a current one and it played smooth with out delays that sometimes happen on streaming videos. Very impressive to watch a UHD move in UND!
I haven't looked at the 2ed unlocked move, but will be soon and may be unlocking some of the others on the disk and adding some more from M-Go.
