I have had problems with 3 IOMEGA external hard drives. I use this one without encryption. It works and is fast. I wish the Quick Start Guide had larger print.

Drive is really fast - Great for backing up large numbers of files. Build quality is superb, with a very solid feel to the drive>cable connection. As others have said, at this price I would expect a case and have therefore docked 1 star.

Very slim, sleek, portable SSD drive. No bigger than a credit card. Build very solid, also shock proof.transferring data was extremely fast and easy. Already compatible with Mac. Thanks to Alan (Apple Rep) at ABT. He's very noligable and delivers excellent customer service.

I like having files stored in at least two places and was running out of room on my SSD in my Dell PC. This Samsung drive is a great second file location. It works fast and is password protected.

I have 4 of these drives in various sizes, all from Maplin's. Their performance is way better than any other external flash drive I have tried and a great compact package. So good in fact one acts as the boot drive on my 2017 27" iMac as it is performs better than the internal Fusion drive.

A superb piece of equipment. Well built in an aluminium case and the drive's cable connection has a very solid feel to it. (I'm always worried about these connections when constantly plugging/unplugging the drive.

For those who really need a portable drive with very fast transfer speeds PLUS easy portability and don't mind paying for those luxuries, portable SSDs are been a good option. They're still a bit rare, largely because they're not cheap.

Functionally wonderful speed, reliability, blah blah. In terms of design feel more premium with metal casing and more substantial size. However from practical stand point as a world traveler i much prefer the lighter smaller design of T1.

We selected two SSD- and two disk-based portable storage products to compare against Samsung's Portable SSD T3 2TB. Kingston's HyperX Max 3.0 was one of the original portable SSDs. Although it's older, it represents the performance of several other products launched during SandForce's heyday.

The new Portable SSD T3 with a metal structure makes the drive very sturdy and less susceptible to damage; The performance is very good, compared with most mechanical, platter-based products sold today

The price is the obvious problem for most users, and we really hoped this series would see a major cost reduction; Real-world file transfer performance is lower than we expected from a product with superior synthetic performance

Well designed and very speedy, the Samsung T3 is an excellent portable SSD that would make an ideal companion to the traveling professional or media enthusiast that required quick transfer rates in a small and sturdy package.

Great transfer speeds; High capacity; Durable; premium design

Didn't quite reach quoted performance
