I use a Windows PC for gaming and Macbook Pro 16 for moving files around. I bought this drive to serve both of those systems. Here are my thoughts:
– It’s pretty compact in size. As big as a debit card and as thick as 4 cards approx. Comes with a type-c to type-c and a type-c to type-a cable. Both cables are short and rated as USB 3.2 Gen 2. For an SSD that costs ₹17,000, that’s expected. – Although I would really appreciate it if Samsung included a case for the drive and cables, what they’ve already provided is just fine. – Check for photos compared to my mouse and keyboard.
Windows (core i7, 16GB 3200 MHz, GTX 1080) : – Check photos for windows speeds benchmarks and copying a file. – My Windows PC doesn’t have a type-c connector, let alone 3.2 gen 2. I am having to restrict the drive to be used in the USB 3.0 configuration. Results, you ask? Well, the read and write speeds are hampered severely. While the disk management test shows close to 500 Mbps, I actually got ~320Mbps while copying a big file to the drive and back. – While gaming, I tested Witcher 3, Metro Exodus, Borderlands 3, Batman Arkham Knight, and Horizon Zero Dawn (PC). Every game had practically 1-2 seconds of load time. Not more. All except Horizon Zero Dawn (which is not optimized for SSD on a PC as of August 2020).
MacBook Pro 16″ macOS: – My Macbook Pro though, that’s a completely different story. The Macbook Pro 16 utilizes the Thunderbolt 3 protocol and scales the USB 3.1/3.2 gen 1/2 inside itself. I’m using a paid version of Microsoft’s NTFS for Mac so I can use this drive back and forth. On the macOS, not just the speed test was closer to 1Gbps, even the copying speed was the same (from and to the drive). I copied an almost 15 GB file in less than 15 seconds. – I don’t do any R/W heavy tasks on my Macbook apart from transferring files here and there. So copying/pasting is probably the only thing I’ll use this drive for Macbook and it performs phenomenally. – Check photos for macOS speeds benchmarks and copying a file, and I gotta say, this is where it shines.
Conclusion: – The price is pretty steep for the drive so your decision to get it or not should depend on whether you have the right system that utilizes the right protocol or not. – If you don’t have the USB 3.2 Gen 2, there are other better SSD alternatives. Like Seagate One Touch, or any USB 3.0 SSD for that matter. It’ll cost much cheaper, technically should provide you the speed your PC is at and reasonably high speeds. – If you have a compatible device, a deep enough pocket, and if you need such speeds then definitely go for it.
PS: – Amazon, WTF is wrong with you people? I buy a ₹17,000/- product and you cannot package it decently? – The SSD box was crushed while shipping. What in the crap do you think justifies shipping delicate products like these without a box and then ship freaking body lotion in thick boxes? – I’ve attached pictures, please don’t repeat this mistake. FU, correct this nonsense.
Fortunately, the hard drive wasn’t damaged and even the seal was intact. So I cut off only one start.

Seems to be a decent one. Works much faster with my 4 year old laptop. Too much smaller. U feel bit difficult to handle due to the size! One star lesser due to its slippery body.

I had a WD HDD of 1 TB. I bought that for my laptop and I had a bad experience of using it along with my laptop because of its high power consumption. I regretted buying an HDD because I couldn’t use it while working on (it corrupts the files). That’s why I bought this one. Even though it’s only 512 GB (Yes, I know it’s SSD), it worth every penny because it’s very less power consuming and also delivers the high speed transfer rate. It works like a charm!

The drive is fast, I use it with a MacBook Pro and it gives me anywhere between 700-750 Mbps write speed, the read is about 4-5% faster than that. I mostly use the C to C cable it came with. Yes, it does get warm to the touch with continued and heavy usage but not hot. When used in warm weather or with continued usage the speed drops about 5-6%. But it can handle, 4k60fps editing with ease even when it is 930Gb full. I also run Parallels on my device with this drive and have some games on it too. When not used for about 30 sec, it cuts off read and write, which is visible by the light on it, increasing the drive’s longevity. It has a metal body and a nice finish, it can easily fit in bags or pockets and is very lightweight. The USB-C cable it comes with is 18 inches, but it is a bit thick and difficult to bend you can go for a braided high-speed cable for that. If you encrypt the disk using the Samsung app, then the other devices you use it on must have that app to unlock it, hence the encryption won’t be useful if you want to use it with your television or want to connect it to your router and make a server. The app is available for all common platforms, Android, Windows, and Mac but not for ios(iPhone and iPad), hence if you are an iPhone or iPad user then you might consider that, but this does work with iPad Pro. I have the black version which is not perfectly black more like the space grey of Mac, which matches both my phone and laptop’s color, but I think blue would look even better hence, you can choose according to your device.

Muy bueno para resolver problemas de espacio en iPhone 14. De ser posible compra el que tiene protección de huella digital para que lo puedas desbloquear sin necesidad de computadora.

This SSD offers amazing speed and support all devices like phone, ipad , laptop, P.C. And it doesn’t heat much just minor heating which happens in all SSD. Read and write speed are also top notch. However, with all these features it is so compact and easy to carry that is the biggest advantage of it. I recommend it to every SSD desired coustomers to buy it.
