Nice compact SSD with plenty of space

• 8TB
• Compact size
• Not super fast

Nice compact SSD drive with a lot of space, 8TB. First format it in the correct format if you work on Mac, otherwise it will no longer recognize the drive after you have put everything on it. It's not fast, but it's fine as a backup. Reliability remains to be seen, but I have several T7 SSDs here and they have never caused any problems. Highly recommended so far...

A wonderful replacement for the external drive. The reliability and affordability of SSDs has really skyrocketed. Of course, there are always risks, but that's why you have to deal with your data 3-2-1.

• SSD
• Small
• Beautiful design

For several years I have been using T3 - T5 - T7 Samsung SSD drives (up to 4TB). I needed something more for backup. For this I also did not need the speed like the other drives. I have now 2 in service for 2 weeks and does perfectly what it should do. Connected to NAS to make regular backups.
