Customer Ratings & Reviews

Exactly what I need since I do a lot of gaming , now I’m able to easily transfer data from back and forth as I please and have the speed I need.

This has been a great little drive, mostly used for work backups. It’s tiny and lightweight and fast — a nice break from the big old school hard drives I’m used to lugging around.

This drive is amazing. Compact; fast and reliable. Hard to believe it packs so much capacity. I now have 3 of these. For anybody who wants external storage in a very portable package, look no further.

I have an iMac internal 5400 rpm drive that was too slow to use with the latest versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Instead of paying for a replacement drive I purchased this to set up as the startup drive and the internal as an extra drive. After reformatting and installing the latest Big Sur OS I installed new copies of Photoshop and Illustrator. WOW! Startup times are at least 10 faster with no lag in running the aforementioned programs. Best purchase I've made! If it were not for Big Sur requiring a check of the internal drive before switching control to the external, startup would be around 10 secs., maybe less.

I liked this SSD a lot. It is small enough to carry around everywhere, and has enough space for all my files. It was extremely fast, and transferred several GBs in a few seconds, so it really does seem to reach the advertised speeds of 0.5GB per second. The cons are that the battery of the laptop drains more quickly, and it gets a bit warm during use, thus it is not as power efficient as I may like. The SSD is a bit expensive, though not more than other SSDs with a similar capacity.

I've read reviews for this over the years and it has consistently been rated among the best. I've had many different brands of hard drives including Lacie, G-Drive, Seagate and WD. I use them primarily to backup my MacBook Pro. This Samsung is by far the fastest and smallest hard drive I've used. The new MacBooks only have USB-C inputs and this drive includes the cable as well as a USB-A cable. It is password protected, which is another great option that some of the previous models don't offer. I bought this one on sale and for a 1TB SSD drive, this was a great deal. This is thing is ridiculously small, which makes it ultra portable. Even if you can't find this on sale, but want something fast and portable, this is about the best available. I would definitely recommend this.

This drive is simply the best drive you can get for your desktop computer. It's as simple as any other storage device; you plug it in and you're good to go. The prices are quite reasonable as the speed and storage closely aligns the SATA internal Samsung drives, as long as you're using the included C to C cable on a supported USB C port. I'm easily reaching the max 500+ mb/s! Works wonderfully in my Premiere workflow too - 4k media loads without a hitch on this drive, so I'm easily able to edit the same files on my desktop and laptop. This is the drive to go for if you're looking for speed!

Works great, love the size. Perfect for extra storage for pics & docs

This product is very good.Easily transfer to phone.Asily transfer to phone easily on a used small pocket.And you available on easy hat.No heavy, very, very good. Very very good

Wanted to purchase a SSD drive due to its speed and reliability. Wish they had the 2TB version in stock because we deal with a lot of photo and video data. This drive is as fast as our "super" MAC computer.

Ver fast, compact, and well-made high quality external SSD. Easy to use - just plug and play with a compatible device. If you like, you can use the included software to set up password and encryption but it us not necessary for use. For some reason, the prices on this seem to vary often from sbout $140 to $200+ so value depends somewhat on what price you are able to buy it at and comparing the prices on the new Samsung T7 drives. Overall it is an excellent product with no issues to detract from a 5 star rating. I have been very pleased with it.

Many computers now a days only really have 128 GB or 256 GB. If you plan on working with any type of content (video or picture), it is highly recommended that you get an external storage solution. The Samsung T5 is like the sports cars of external storage. If you pair it with any newer computers that have USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 support, moving pictures, or videos will be a breeze. If you use a standard Hard Drive, it will take so much longer, up to 5 times longer. When you constantly do work with media, the extra money you spend on a drive like this pays itself off with the time you save moving content, and makes your workflow a lot snappier. The SSD has a USB-C port on it, and the box comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, as well as a USB-C to USB-A cable so you will be ready to go wether your computer has the newer USB-C adapter or not.

This was just what I needed. My IMac was slowing to the point of not being able to use it. It’s internal rotary HD was gone. I’m using this external but running my iMac completely from this drive. SSD is so much faster, it boots in half the time and runs as smooth as glass. It’s like I got a new iMac for under $200.... I highly recommend this to anyone looking to speed up and renew there Mac or PC. Saved me big time!

I had a project that I needed to edit on my iMac using FCPX. I had really large files that would take up too much room (approx. 450GB). I tried using my 4TB G drive, but it was too slow for editing purposes. I finally gave in and bought this Samsung T5 and I am glad I did. The speed and work flow was seamless as though I was working with my internal drive. Not once did my project crash and everything worked perfectly.

very useful small and light and works with anything, fast downloads and uploads

High quality. Plenty of room to save your data. Good speed

It’s sleek, small, and quick! Super portable. Fits in a typical shirt pocket. At 1tb packs a punch for the price.

This external USB device is not only small and compact, it is durable, fast, and light weight. It has a premium build to it, the cables it comes with are USB C to USB C and then regular USB 3.0 to USB C which is always handy. I use it daily when I go to school and it makes it a breeze to pull up files no matter which computer I go to. It eliminates my needs for having to bring my own laptop which is a big plus.

Great portable storage. Extremely fast and light. Holds more than I need and is very quick. Very portable.

I bought this hard drive for external PS5 storage and it's a great plug and play option. Speeds are on par with internal SDDs, and it is immediately recognized by the PS5 for external storage. There are no issues with errors in recognizing this drive when the PS5 is restarted, turned off, or woken up from sleep mode.
