> 3 dayI went to do a test transfer using a few dozen small video files and, after starting the transfer, the progress window instantly closed. I thought my transfer failed but the files had been instantly moved from my NVMe to the target drive. Im beyond impressed with the speed of this drive.

> 3 dayThe drive worked perfectly with Catalina. I upgraded to Big Sur and the problems started. It constantly disconnects and then wont reconnect. If you search the net, you find many others with similar problems. My problems got worse after the latest Big Sur update.

> 3 dayThe SSD component of the fusion drive in our 2012 iMac was failing. After reviewing the time consuming installation procedure to replace the failing SSD, I decided to try an external drive. Since Thunderbolt 2 is poorly supported and expensive, that meant going with a USB 3.0 compatible SSD. I did disk read/write performance comparison tests between this Samsung T5 using USB 3.0 and the working internal 5400 rpm hard drive. The internal hard drive achieves read/write speeds of 80-90MB/s. The Samsung T5 achieves read write speeds of 440 MB/s. I installed MacOS Catalina on the Samsung and migrated all the content to the new drive. I split the fusion drive into the separate physical drives. the failing SSD is unused. The working 1TB 5400 rpm HD will be used for backups and large file storage. So forget Thunderbolt 2, and forget the hassle of pulling apart your imac and buying over priced components from OWC. A 2021/2022 portable SSD that is USB 3.0 compatible will be much faster than the original fusion drive and provide 1 Terabyte of fast storage 9x more than the 128GB SSD of the fusion drive. This is a great upgrade to any older mac that supports USB 3.0.

21-12-2024Bought to supplement a 4TB traditional external drive for my Xbox One - loading times on a few games were just becoming ridiculous. Bought this featherweight SSD and after a quick format, transferred a 22GB game in about 12 minutes, and a 75GB game later that evening in about 30. Not bad. The real value comes when playing said games; seeing a real-world reduction in load times of 70-80% - literally a few seconds vice 30 or more, making all the difference in the world. The ability to load 10-15 games at a time onto this SSD and shift titles around as I play will ensure that those ludicrous load times will never rear their ugly head again. Highly recommend!
