If i could find another one, i would buy it in a hart beat!

Great size...super fast..works with Mac/iOS out the box. Perfect! I really like the Samsung T series......this is also great - will not hesitate to buy this brand again. Wish there was min. 2T version

I found this drive to be very quick...transferring massive amounts of files in seconds that used to take minutes. The build is great. One NOTE: If using on Windows 10, like me, you will have to reformat. Be aware that the insert in the very nice packaging gives explicit instructions to do that. I had not reviewed it and thought, at first, there was a problem. Not so. Quick & easy fix.

Excellent Rugged Portable SSD with Fast USB-C

im from those who really pay attention to the details, and when i say so, is because on the advertisement of the product page here on amazon, the manufacture show a read/write performance that doesnt show in reality. they claim to have 900mb/writing rate, which is not true. That the main reason why i do not give it 5 stars. i do currently have a USB C 3.2 built in, on my x570 motherboard, with ryzen 7 3800x processor, with two SSD high speed M.2. gen 4 drive. the maximum write speed was 550mb/s. nothing more. from my ssd m.2. drive. and if you copy from any mechanical drive, obviously the bandwidth will be determine by the bottleneck of the mechanical drive, down to 123mb/s

For the last 5 months, Ive been using my Tuff-Nano (1TB) as a secondary storage device with my Mac Mini 2018. That is, until yesterday. Out of nowhere, I get a system notification titled USB Accessories Disabled with the warning message Unplug the accessory using too much power to re-enable USB devices (screengrab attached). Then I realize my Tuff-Nano is no longer showing up in Finder or Disk Utility. I tried unplugging and replugging it in; tried a different Mac device; tried a different USB-C cable; tried all the USB-C ports I could find. No luck. I contacted CalDigit support. After telling the agent about the issue, they said Im afraid our only remaining recourse in this situation may be to replace the Tuff under warranty. Naturally, I followed up by asking about data recovery - were they saying the drive failed and my data was gone? did they have any knowledge and advice to share on data recovery? To these kinds of questions I basically got the response: we dont do data recovery; youre welcome to try but youre on your own. To be clear, I didnt expect CalDigit to provide data recovery services, but I didnt expect to be left completely in the dark regarding whether and what I should be doing about my personal data. Sure, I appreciate that theyll send me a replacement drive. But, honestly not even sure about getting a replacement. In order to get the replacement I have to send back this broken drive with a bunch of my irreplaceable data on it. And honestly given that support didnt have any information for me about what caused this issue, I really dont see how I can trust that this wont happen again in another 6 months or so. Ugh. So, not a great consumer experience. Will update review if I am able to learn more about the situation.

Fastest drive! Best overall!

I bought this for the SSD inside! Opened it up, removed the SSD, and installed it in a Surface Laptop 3. $200 vs $800 that Microsoft charges for a 1TB. This drive was exactly what I needed.
