SAMSUNG T5 Portable SSD 1TB - Up to 540MB/s - USB 3.1 External Solid State Drive, Black (MU-PA1T0B/AM)

Love the laptop

Comes with plenty of storageif you have an android. Or several adapters to use it for Apple. Apple products will not simply plug into the T5 very frustrating.

Ive been using an iPad since it was first released back in 2010. I use it to capture photos and screenscap interesting articles - basically using it as a knowledge store. Over the years, Ive upgraded every other version and my trove of photos keep growing. iCloud do take care of the backup, but Ive always wanted to offload files in order to reduce iCloud fees.

I liked this SSD, really small, fast transefer data, liked that it comes with two cables to plug in to the computer or directly to the phone.

Works fast on my ps4 I will update when I get a ps5.

Excellent product- running OS High Sierra off this drive as my main drive for Mac Late 2013.

Fast, reliable operation. Some issues with an older Mac complaining the Disk was not ejected properly even though I had ejected it each time before disconnecting. This same issue does not exist on my new 2018 15 MBP, though. So far so good.

Lost all info as the drive lost its ability to boot and required a reformat after less than 4 months. The device was rarely used.

My 2015 iMac had a spinning disk, and has gotten progressively slower over the years, to the point where it was almost unusable. I considered upgrading, but with the rumors of the new Apple Silicon Macs around the corner, I wanted to see if I could wait it out. I tried various software related things to speed it up, but it was still too slow, and all signs pointed to the disk IO as the culprit. I read about the process to replacing the internal HD in an iMac, but it seemed like a lot of work, and found I could get almost the same improvement with booting the iMac from an external SSD. So I got this drive, used Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate my internal drive to this T5 drive, then set the Mac to boot by default from the T5. It was unbelievable how much better things were. I could use Photos again! Booting the machine up took a fraction of the time. Everything is much smoother now and weve started using the iMac again. It has a fantastic 27 4K display, so Im thinking we can get a few more years out of it, and then will upgrade to an M1 iMac when they are available in a new design (the iMac design is getting a bit dated). The drive is really an awesome upgrade. I cant speak too much on the longevity, since Ive only been running it a few months, but it has been rock solid over that time.
