The Buffalo SSD-PG500U3B is made in Taiwan.

What’s the difference between this and a USB flash drive?

The difference, really, between standard “flash drives” “thumb sticks” etc and drives like this are the nand flash chips on the inside and the controller chip that accesses the flash memory. Ssd grade nand flash has much higher read/write endurance than typical flash drive or sd cards. They also have lower latency and higher throughput. Lastly, in my experience, they tend to run cooler at the same interface speed than ss cards or usb sticks. Hope this helps!

Website says it will only work if you have mac® os® 10.14 or later and i have version 10.13.6 installed ?

While we have not tested the Buffalo SSD with earlier versions of MacOS, High Sierra 10.13.3 can access USB storage devices such as the Buffalo SSD. For use with Macs, you will need to format the Buffalo SSD to exFAT mode. This is easily done with the Mac Disk Utility.

Can I connect this to my Samsung smart tv?

Buffalo SSD’s will work with many brands of smart TV’s, however our product has not been tested by Samsung.
