Samsung T5 yes indeed.
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Way better than the T7 in my opinion. Fast reliable and is on the BMPCC 4K/6k approved memory list. The storage capacity on Samsung T5 come in several sizes the 1T is more than enough for recording raw files in full 4K plus more. Side note* They had some left on 44th 5th Ave. I went and every one downstairs gave me excuses about how it’s no longer there, no one can really look for it right now, take the T7. Etc. I came specifically for the T5 which showed in stock on website which I needed last minute for a film gig. Really needed the T5 love it that much. As I was heading upstairs to leave I called Adorama to check stock and was going to be late now to go further downtown to get the T5. Good news, Melissa(braids/ glasses) the young lady upstairs in Best Buy noticed I was annoyed and asked how she could help? Long story short she found the T5 for me in 2 mins or less. Thanks Melissa !!! Saved me a trip/ time and the shoot was great.

It was well worth it
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This SSD was well worth it I've gotten one for my Xbox One X and I'm getting one for my PlayStation 4 Pro. I don't know about anyone else but not only did I get better load times. But I am getting better graphics and performance especially with textures as well as some other stuff. Now I'm not saying it's all next gen enhanced but it is definitely different. I noticed this from playing cyberpunk 2077 on internal HHD and switched to playing it on SSD. I did the same thing with Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Definitely seems to unlock a little extra console potential.. when it comes to games get you a good SSD it changes everything. I honestly don't see the need to even get the new generation consoles right now with an SSD an late last gen consoles..

Perfect Storage Solution
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I’m using this for my Xbox One X and find that it significantly improves load times and texture pop-in on Forza Horiza 4 and Call of Duty Cold War. Word of advice: Be cautious when using the back USB port. I found that the back ventilation warms up the USB port. I’ve moved it to the front USB and problem solved. SSD can warm up so standing it up would be ideal for long gaming.

Good for video storage and editing

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5So far it’s perfect, I’m using it with my Mac to store end edit video files, so that the Mac is not full right away. I even tried a few 4K videos and haven’t noticed any performance issues.

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I was looking for some External SSD Hard Drives and found this one. I owned another one (blue but 500GB) and was very pleased with the size and weight! Feels like a feather! Also works good and for video editing it works great.

Faster time machine backups
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Purchased for backups for a mac mini after looking at all the reviews on wire cutter. Made sure to format it for time machine with Mac OS extended (journaled) and GUID portion map scheme. It works great and is so much faster than my old drive. With my older model, was happy to see that the adapter cord for USB was included. Like the small LED light on it so I know when backups are occurring.

Great for PS5

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Bought this for PS5 until Sony releases their own internal SSD expansion. Works perfectly to store PS4 games. Super quick to load and I just hide it behind my PS5.

Size doesn’t matter!
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Picked this lil monster up last night for an event, and loaded it with 500gb of videos. I video mixed with Serato Video DJ PRO for 5hrs straight without any issues! I use a 2017 MacBook Pro. I’ve used lacie and western digital external hds, both have overheated, and seized due to rigorous, nonstop hours of video performances using both thunderbolt and USB-C cables. I highly recommend this unit to all Video DJs 100%

Q: QuestionHas Samsung updated this drive to be compatible with Mac Catalina?
Asked by OldGuy.
- A:Answer I am using one on a 2019 iMac 27" (w/256GB SDD internal) as an external 1TB for storage and on a 2017 iMac 21.5" as an external SSD boot disk in lieu of the 1TB internal Fusion. Both are running Catalina. No problems with either.

Q: QuestionMy husband has a desktop Dell. How much data will this external hard drive hold? Also, will it connect to his Dell? We have a lot of pictures saved on the Dell and would like to unload them. We are not that computer savvy? Thanks.
Asked by Sher.
- A:Answer I use this for my entire catalog of photos in Lightroom and there is only about half the drive space taken up. Not sure how many photos you're talking about and being a non static number for the size, as every photo is different, then it it hard to say if 1TB will store all your photos. I can tell you I have 230,000 and most are taken in a RAW format by the camera and those are the ones I have on this drive that is now half full. You can also connect this to your Dell desktop without worry. I myself have a Dell and I use it regularly with this drive. You plug it into your USB port on the computer and you should see it in your file manager very shortly after that. (takes a few moment s to read and or set itself up). Hope everything works out for you and you get the storage space you need.

Q: QuestionWhat kind of speeds can I expect to get with this drive if I'm using USB 3.0 connection? I know it's a pricey drive for this application but my MacBook Pro has 3.0 ports, and I like the reliability of the SSD, compared to HDD.
Asked by SBB2.
- A:Answer You should expect to get speeds around 410 MB/s for both using a 3.0 port

Q: QuestionHi I bought a gaming desktop was going to get another ssd getting one externally would be easier my question is will the USB type c be just as fast as having one internally?
Asked by Mike5eye.
- A:Answer On a new computer I'm having built, the speed on that internal SSD drive and this external one appear to match fairly closely. Joke; probably because of those irritatingly short cables.)
