    Samsung T7, Blazing Speed, Rock‑Solid Encryption

    The T7 hits the perfect balance of speed, security, portability, and reliability. If you need a dependable external SSD for work files, backups, or media, this one is absolutely worth it. Samsung includes both USB‑C to C and USB‑C to A cables, so it works with pretty much any device I plug it into and don’t let the size fool you — this thing is fast. I purchased the case separately for travel.

    Pretty dang goos

    Very small and compact which I like. Also very smooth surface really nice. Speed has been great. Haven’t had any performance issues. I’ve had faster but for the price I don’t think anyone would see any issues with speed or performance. Very portable no bigger than those slim weird wallets. Could easily slide into full pocket. That’s a nice touch. I use it weekly for extra storage in always emptying my sd card onto it and It’s done great.

    Love my Samsung T7

    Needed a faster drive as photos and videos are taking up more space as resolution increases and my data was trapped in the cloud somewhere. I bought this drive thinking it was a temporary fix and it turned out to be a godsend. There are faster drives available BUT… many are rated at 25%-30% of the total read/write cycles of this drive meaning they’ll last 25%-30% of the estimated drive life. It’s fast enough to do anything an intermediate user would need to use with the benefit of password protection and encryption. Just make sure you don’t lose your password if you activate one, not sure if you can recover it if that were to happen. Password protection and 750-850 Read/write speeds on my Mac (750 read on my M1/850 read on my Intel model) make it 10x faster than my old external WD HDD and I’m future proofed for years to come. Excellent value and performance. I usually shoot for the stars when buying new components but this purchase had NO Remorse associated with it. I actually want to gift one to everyone I know who has had issues recovering media from their phones or clouds. It can download entire albums in record time depending on the size of your library. I’d highly recommend this product and will probably be buying 1-2 more in the near future

    Smooth Usage

    Bought the external storage for concert content (ie. larger videos and loads of photos). Its transfer from my initial laptop storage was simple, quick, and did not compromise the quality of content (that I have noticed). The only thing I would tell future users to mind would be to transfer larger quantities in batches. Without breaks, the storage can heat up very quickly and to very hot temperatures.

    Super Easy to Use and Works Great!

    I recently bought the Samsung - T7 1TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD, and I am really happy with it. It was super easy to set up, just plug it in and it is ready to go. No setup or software needed. What I love most is how fast it is. I transferred large videos and files in just seconds. It’s way quicker than the regular hard drives I have used before. It is also super small and lightweight, so I can carry it in my pocket or bag with no problem when I go to school. The design is sleek and it feels strong, not cheap. You can tell it is good quality. Overall, this SSD is fast, reliable, and easy to use. Totally worth it for anyone who needs quick storage on the go.

Questions & Answers

  • Can this be used interchangeably between a MAC and Windows device? Or does it need to be formatted for one OR the other?

    MAC or Windows it uses the exFAT file system which means no reformatting needed for each type of computer since it works seamlessly between them.

    Answered by DomDom91

  • Can I use this to back up photos on my iphone12? If so, do I need to purchase a special cable?

    You can’t do that directly but you can through a computer, I.e. the SSD does not connect directly to the iPhone but to the computer. You connect the iPhone to the computer, the SSD to the computer, and then transfer the files to the SSD just as if you were transferring to the computer’s internal hard drive.

  • can this drive be used without the encryption? I just want a drive i can plug in, no encryption with no password...

  • Can this be used to clone an iMac internal hard drive and used as the boot disk? I've looked into the procedure to do this and am looking for a good SSD for this purpose. They put very slow hard drives in 2019 iMacs.

    It should work. I have used a Samsung t7 to backup my MacBook Pro and have been able to boot from the backup.
