Will External Hard Drive Speed Up Computer

I use this to keep my external hard drive connected to my laptop. I used to just let it hangout next to my computer. This is sooooo much better.

This external hard-drive was recommended by a coworker and it worked really well! It was really quick and simple to back up my computer.

Excellent External hard drive.

I use it as an external hard drive for photos.

I have used this external DVD burner quite often when a computer I am working on does not have a DVD drive, so far is recognied right off, write speed is OK, works on wins 8,

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally picked this drive up as an upgrade to mechanical drive in my computer. I was wanting something that would be more reliable and hopefully speed up my aging computer. Having never used an SSD to this day, all I can say is WOW! I had no idea how fast these drivers are. Looking at tech specs on websites does not do this drive justice. Not until you actually get it in your computer and start using it do you realize what you have been missing. How can this little 1TB stick be so powerful and fast? With these drives coming down in price, there is hardly a reason to own a mechanical drive anymore. This SSD is fast, provides a good value, and has great reliability. I’m extremely satisfied with the quality, speed and performance of this device. I also had an opportunity to try out Samsung’s Magician software. The easy to use software is a great way to check the health of the SSD or perform read/write benchmarks (so you can see just how fast the SSD is). Lastly, I decided to try one other thing. I purchased an external USB enclosure, which allowed me to use the SSD as an external drive. While it was not as fast in this configuration (not using the PCIe port), it was still much quicker than traditional external storage in my benchmark tests. I am now using the SSD as an external drive for my Xbox Series X. This makes load times much quicker on games that are stored on this drive. I couldn’t be happier with this storage device. It made my computer seem like a brand new machine and I’m able to load games quicker on my xbox. Now I need to get another one because it is too hard to decide which use case is best for me. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.

Great external hard drive works well, and the speed is superb. Well worth the amount.

I jut got this affordable but amazing external hard drive, paired it with my MacBook Pro (2017), and it's really fast as they advertise it. Just did Blackmagic speed test and its 210/220 mbp/s. Before this one, I got Glyph 5tb Blackbox Pro (6months ago), which served me very well for one project, very stable, but with the speed of 180 mbp/s. So my opinion is, that if you want the fastest external hard drive in this price range, for your MacBook Pro (or any usb-c device), with super fancy and minimal black design, this is definitely an external hard drive to buy. Btw its looks amazing, and I don't work for Lacie, I am a video editor :).

I used this with my Promise external hard drive into my brand new Kaby Lake Macbook Pro and it seems that the speed is still there. As of now I'm quite satisfieed.

A necessary adapter to get from my external hard drive connected to my new computer. Works great. Short but does the job I need.
