According to our External SSD expert
Note: You can only use this external SSD if your laptop or desktop has a Thunderbolt 3 connection. These can be recognized by a small oval gate with a lightning bolt next to it. This SSD is not suitable for consoles such as Xbox and playstation.
The Samsung Portable SSD X5 500GB is a super fast external SSD for creative professionals, for example. This external SSD drive works on the basis of NVMe, making it up to 5 times faster than a regular external SSD. This way you can save a newly edited film of 10GB in a maximum of 5 seconds. Opening 1 large or more small files is also super fast. This disc is shockproof and waterproof. You therefore take it outside without any problems. Do you want extra protection for your files? Encrypt important files with the Samsung external SSD. This way you are better protected against data theft.

I use this external hard drive as primary drive for MAC OS on my iMac 2017. That went very well with the Samsung T% and with this X5 it is even faster. Reading is 5 times faster and writing is only 2 times faster. The latter is the case when the X5 gets very hot. And he will be!

After an easy installation of the OSX, it goes like a spear. With the standard hybrid HDD, the new 27-inch iMac feels a bit sluggish in use. Everything will look better after this upgrade. This also applies to a memory upgrade. Unfortunately Coolblue did not have the correct DDR4 2666Mhz memory in their range. So I estimated this elsewhere. Very happy with this purchase.
