Samsung SSD
Used for samples and Ableton sounds with Live configuration. One drop only thanks to the SSD. Really fast and reliable I recommend it. Good range of SSDs for the price.

Out of order after 15 months
After 15 months of incremental backups, reformatting regularly... Which is not great for backups. So only to be used for transport?

Very good but...
Very good material.
Why a "but" then in the title?
Well, it's simple, the disk, once secured (encrypted), is accessible without problem on a PC where you have administrator rights. Unfortunately, since I also have to work on PCs where I only have "guest" rights, I cannot run the program used to unlock this disk. This should be taken into account if you want to use it in "secure" (or encrypted) mode. I'm not sure if it's a USB SSD or not, but it's very fast and the speed is as expected.
I would recommend this product despite this limitation due to the OS and not the drive itself, hence the top rating.Review automatically translated -

good speed
good speed as i was able to record faster.
I use it on a music program that actually seems to not give the maximum playback. however it does work compared to what I had.
Good product.Review automatically translated -

very good ssd
It's very good, especially since it comes with 2 cables, one usb3 + mini usb, so it's really good for writing and reading.
It's a great tool to have around.Review automatically translated -

Mitigated
Good capacity, decent read-write speed, USB self-powered so simple connectivity and portability as well, BUT... zero TV compatibility, absolutely not recognized by Sharp LC-40CFG6352E TV. I thought it was because of the lack of USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 backwards compatibility on most TVs (whereas on a computer the backwards compatibility is effective), but a USB 3.0 stick of more than 100 GB is recognized without any problem. So to use this SSD as an SSD is fine, but to watch recorded content on a TV it's not necessarily won.
