Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme(What’s this?)
I Used this drive for my Samsung smart TV so that I can enable the built in VCR Type feature for recording TV programs. As soon as I plugged the drive in it recognised it straight away and there is no power lead to worry about, just plug and play. The 500 gig of memory is more then enough for this task too. The only thing I noticed was the TV formats the drive differently from windows so you can’t for instance record a TV program then transfer it to your PC (windows 7) for further editing. But as far as the drive in use for its intention on my Smart TV its perfect. I do have other of these drives exacttly the same brand and model only 1TB and that works perfect with windows 7 just plug and play and away it pops up ready for use.
I found this drive can handle HD recordings very smoothly indeed with no drop outs at all when watching films.
Another thing I like about these are they are very very small drives that can fit inside your coat pocket no problem and very thin about the size of a small diary or notebook, extremely lightweight so you wouldn’t notice it either. You also get the USB cable with it but its only a 48cm in length so you might need an extention for some uses, its great for just plugging into laptops though. Great job Samsung.

This review is from: Samsung M3 1TB USB 3.0 Slimline Portable Hard Drive – Black (Accessory)
Had the 1TB for a few weeks now and I’m very impressed , the image doesn’t do the drive justice – it’s a BLACK chequered and textured finish to the top, piano black around the sides and a Matt Black Durable underside with 4 rubber feet (These little rubber feet/touch pads are a great idea as its stops the drive clattering on the desk and sliding around ). In the box is a USB 3.0 micro cable (The drive and cable are fully backwards compatible with USB 2.0 which I’m currently using )a quick start guide and the warranty document (3 Years ) – on the drive there is security and back up software which i have yet to use but helpful if you don’t have any.
So far it’s done its job perfectly and I’m very impressed – recommended purchase 100%

This review is from: Samsung M3 1TB USB 3.0 Slimline Portable Hard Drive – Black (Accessory)
I have several external hard drives and this is as good as they get. It’s a nice size and what I like about it most is that it doesn’t go to sleep like my others do so when I access it after taking a break I don’t have to wait for it to warm up!!!
