Can be frustrating

This device backed up my data just fine, but how on earth do you delete files to perform another new backup? I want to get rid of the older backup data.

Reliable and Speedy

I've had four 1TB T5s since they were first introduced. They see a lot of use and they remain just as fast and just as reliable as they were the day(s) that I received them. I'm sad to see that the price of these has shot up as much as it has, but I suppose that's to be expected these days. I'm about to purchase SSDs for my new LUMIX S5IIX and I'll buy more of these before I consider the T7s (which for some reason are slower on my Intel based Mac).

This is the best quality in the market in terms of speed, weight, size and price. Samsung is the most trustful in memory market in the world.

Great product; sleek, compact and lightweight

Compact, sleek, lightweight yet durable. Very portable, can carry in small pockets or compartments. Requires USB-C cord (both ends USB-C) to connect to device. The particular item I received mounts and unmounts without any issues; a previous 500 GB device I bought elsewhere never un-mounts properly, it always gets stuck and I end up having to Force Eject it.

Small form factor with decent speeds

Great drive so far. Pretty fast functionally. Really small form factor and can be tucked in just about any pocket. Similar in size to a stack of credit cards.

Great ssd

I love this device, I was going to get another m.2 nvme ssd but decided that I would get this as it was on sale and 2 terabytes is a great amount of storage and try it out. It turns out I can't tell the difference between this and my internal m.2 and I love it. It's also secure and password protected. I highly recommend this ssd and it was more than affordable for how much storage it has and how fast it is.

Reliable, compact, and fast. This little drive is excellent for files that you need to transfer back and forth quickly. It's also nice that it has such a small footprint on your desk.

About Samsung T5

Insanely Fast. Works with everything I have

By dblrnbw

I have partioned out the drive so some partions work with my mac for TimeMachine and the other works as a normal drive for mac and PC for transferring files. AND THE SPEED!!! I transferred 44.45GB of movies onto my computer in 1 minute and 20 seconds! And it wrote them onto the drive in 1 minute and 38 seconds.

Excellent Memory Bundle

By Stinkface

purchased this bundle to upgrade an internal 1tb hdd with the sata 1tb sdd on a certain piece of electronics (which shall not be named here), and to have a reliable, removable 1tb ssd for said machine. the increase in boots, reads and writes, and file management were immediately noticeable just from moving non-essential system files to the external ssd, and after replacing the internal drive as well i must say i am quite pleased. the express shipment option landed both items in my grubby hand...
