Picked up one of these 2tb for $80 out the door at a local liquidator and was actually shocked at how fast the drive was for general backup...ie: my intended purpose. I think I backed up about half a terabyte of files in probably around 30 minutes.

Sometimes it's easy to get wrapped up in the slickdeals commentary of everyone poo-pooing a drive because it's not on par with pro gen4/5 NVME doing 7,000+mb/s in an external enclosure.

I'm glad I took the plunge, this drive does exactly what I want and is totally fast enough for 95%+ of people. Hopefully this helps someone else out that was in the same skeptical position I was in.

Rugged looks, but the USB port is the major weak point for these devices. The worst design I saw was a Toshiba drive with a USB port soldered directly to the HDD. I couldn't even plug it into SATA to recover the files. This Samsung SSD is no different: https://youtu.be/_2KJADHXAL4

You're better off buying an M.2 with enclosure and plugging a USB into that. That way, when your enclosure breaks, you can still recover the contents from a PC or another enclosure. SSDs have low failure rates, it's the human-factor that causes problems more than anything.

I ordered one during the Amazon pricing errors last year where it was $120 or so. It's a great drive, and I use it for my PS4 games on my PS5. You can store PS5 games on it, but you'll have to move them to the internal NVMe or the internal expansion NVMe if you want to play them.

Thumbs up and Repped for a good and informative post! Didn't realize this drive has outstanding sustained write speeds. Not important to some, but it's important to me, i.e. I'm not a gamer and I have some huge files.

Thanks OP! The 2TB has been on my wish-list since November. Bought it from Samsung's website for $133 after my Education discount.

Yeah, it is much better than their older T7 models. I also have a 2TB Crucial X8 that was briefly on sale for ~$80 and that thing drops to ~50 MB/s after ~250-270 GB of sustained writes once the pseudo cache depletes.

Is that for all BB purchases or specific to this drive? Thanks

It's for Best Buy purchases on this particular drive using Ebay. You can save $34 on the 4tb, but this is a better deal.

I purchased one this morning via Ebay; it's legit. The best way to find these prices is to have the Capital One shopping extension installed, visit the drive on Amazon, and the extension will give you several best price options. Ebay was the best today.

What is a good M2 enclosure?

And what SSD NVME drive do you recommend with similar quality/reliability?
