    This drive works great and had barely any writes on it out of the box so it was most likely a return that was barely used. It's much smaller and lighter than I expected which is really nice (smaller than a 2.5" internal drive) Can't recall the exact numbers off the top of my head, but it benchmarked >1GB/s read and write.

    This SSD is compatible with Xbox Series S, but i have had trouble with PC compatibility. Specifically the T7 shield and T5 so i don't suggest trying to use this SSD with PC's. Use this with your android devices and consoles!

    I use the SSD Drive as a startup disk for my iMac. The Samsung T7 was easy to set up and worked great. This external USB drive has taken my iMac struggled with even the most basic tasks and turned it into a fast solid computer.

    Wanted a super fast portable SSD and found this refurbished Samsung T7 500 GB USB Gen 2. It has worked very well for my needs. Price was what caught my eye, very affordable and still covered by warranty.
