That is a tree. suitable for external Solid State Drives

? This disk is a piece of wood. I don't compare it to a piece of wood. I actually opened the box and a piece of wood slipped out. I don't know what to say, I'm just laughing. The tree is not recommended. This scam required an enormous amount of effort. If you're looking to get into carpentry, this is a good place to start. Goodbye forever.

Pros
  • Permanent test result
Cons
  • Negative result available

Expired Certificate

Developer ID The App ID certificate expired on September 27, 2019. The packaging it came in has a production date of 2020 0413. My computer warned me that the package was signed with an expired certificate and if I recently purchased the package, it may not be genuine. I don't trust this product. I am returning the item.

Pros
  • Great Overall Achievement
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

Fast, compact, quiet and portable.

I was surprised at how compact and light the drive was when I received it. I'm using it on a 2017 13" MacBook Pro and formatted it with APFS (encrypted). While I don't see average speeds of "up to" 500+ MB/s listed, they're still impressive (see screenshot, I'm using this drive for video editing (scratch drive and save) It works great for Final Cut Pro and ScreenFlow Pro.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Bad impression

Does not work with Macs

I bought a 2TB Samsung T5 SSD for my Mac Pro Tower. At first everything was fine. They randomly started to "disconnect" or "eject" every few days when copying files. The problem is that it didn't mount after that. This required reformatting the drive each time. Disk Utility and Disk Warrior report "Hardware Error" issues. However, these warnings disappear after reformatting (extending, logging) the disk. Then a few days later it ejected while copying and couldn't be remounted, necessitatingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • No

It stinks to know how much I paid for the 1TB version and that in a year or two the cost of something like this will probably be half what it was what I paid for it but, at least this little thing is nice to use at the same time. It comes with two USB cables, one is standard USB-to-USB-C and the other is USB-C-to-USB-C only, so you're protected no matter what type of connection you have. There are even hook and loop fasteners attached to the cables. I work in IT and I carry this thing with meโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • There are downsides

I am absolutely blown away by the full 180ยฐ loading

I did this on my PS4 and left it there. Loading times have greatly improved. Loading screens bothered me a lot. No longer! I'm first in Fortnite. Grand Theft Auto loads too fast for me to drink in the kitchen. I am absolutely amazed by the total 180ยฐ when loading. My only regret is that I've argued for years about whether or not I should get a 6 month update. yes i appreciated it Goodbye. Downloads faster. Loading screens are faster. The game runs smoother. year of update. My cousin can'tโ€ฆ

Started this review after failing 1 out of 3 but never posted for some reason. Probably waiting to see what the Samsung warranty will do. Just reformatted and sent back. I treated this with a little suspicion/caution. But then the 2nd of 3 failed! Again completely invisible to the computer except in Disk Management. I don't remember if Disk 1 was there, but unlike Disk 1, this time I was able to recover the contents of the disk with EaseUS sw! Since I could access it in Disk Manager as an empty

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
