Great 2 TB storage device - it works well.
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This handy little SSD just plain works! I am using it as a backup for my SSD and HDD on my laptop. I suggest that you get Acronis software to manage your backup and recovery. (Acronis is available from Best buy.) --I remember the first 1 gigabyte storage device I ever saw: It was the size of a washing machine - and here I can put 2 Terabytes in my pocket.

Perfect gaming library

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This external hard drive has quite literally become my gaming library. I've put most of my Steam library on it because I'm not playing those games, and still have room for more. Thanks to it, I don't have to worry about memory space on my regular computer.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Portable, Reliable, SpeedI. LOVE. THESE. DRIVES. This is my 4th drive I've purchased of this model. (And I've purchased 2 additional ones for other people...6 total.) I've had these Samsung "T" series drives for years now. I use them with a Mac, and they work very well. Super fast, super portable. What more could you ask for! Also, pro tip for the Mac users, re-format the drive completely when you get it. This method has worked for me for years with these and I haven't had any issues. Can't recommend these drives enough.
