Bought to replace a conventional external usb drive....which failed.
Love everything about this Samsung S.S. drive, so far.
It is faster and very small.
Purpose served is a backup drive attached to laptop.
Do not have hard empiricle data, but impression is much faster than the replaced drive.
Would definitely buy again....only time and experience will prove durability and reliability.
I love these Samsung SSDs. I have multiples of these devices and they are fast and reliable. I use mainly for the storage and transfer of large image files.
Purchased this SSD exclusively for Time Machine backups on my iMac. After reading countless reviews on various sites, I followed their recommendations. I deleted all of the Samsung software by reformatting the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted). The drive automatically backs up every hour on the hour and has performed flawlessly. The drive is perfect for taking with you because it will fit into any pocket with room to spare. The combination of SSD plus USB 3 make it a speed demon. Small size, lightning fast, and plenty of storage capacity. What more can you ask? Oh yeah, the price. That's great too. I'm looking to purchase another in the future.
I recently bought a 500 GB T5 new, and this one is twice the size and used. The product arrived in original packaging, and performed equally spectacularly. I simply transferred the contents of my main drive to the T5, and now my iMac boots in seconds, and everything else that depends on disk access is sped up many times.
