As easy as plug in and start transferring. It’s compact and super convenient — fits easily in my bag or pocket. The performance is solid: file transfers are noticeably quicker than my old external drives, which means less waiting and more doing.

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.

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.

When my laptop was crashing, Geek Squad personnel suggested to save all my stuff on this. It comes with different cables, ask you to download the app for it, you can set up a password for security, and uploaded everything instantly. Great to back up your stuff on it frequently. Easy to download from it.

I’ve been using the Samsung SSD for a few months now, and it’s been a game-changer in terms of speed and reliability. Whether you’re upgrading from a traditional HDD or replacing an older SSD, the performance difference is noticeable right away. Boot times are almost instant, applications load quickly, and file transfers are extremely fast.
Samsung’s SSDs are known for their durability and long lifespan, and this one lives up to that reputation. It also comes with Samsung’s Magician software, which is helpful for monitoring drive health, updating firmware, and optimizing performance.
The only downside is that it’s slightly pricier than some competing brands, but the premium feels justified given the performance and reliability. If you’re looking for a high-quality SSD for gaming, content creation, or general productivity, Samsung is a solid choice.

Not much setup other than an app requesting installation on plug-in to my computer, seems to work great, I personally use it for storing pictures and videos of family, but with the amount of space I might keep some games on the bench for quick install if I ever want them.

This is my first Samsung external USB-C SSD and so far it's been performing well, running Unreal Engine 5 games out of it via a USB-C 3.1 port on my desktop gaming rig.
Fits 2025 HP Omen 35L GT16-0344 with Ryzen 7 8700F paired to a RTX 5060 Ti / 16 GB via a USB-C 3.1 port.

I’ll start off by saying that you CANNOT run Xbox Series X/S titles from this device. However, you CAN run regular Xbox One games from it. I use it on my new Series X console and I figured out that it’s best to use this to store all of the Xbox One/360 titles on and the next-gen Series X/S on the internal drive. You can, however, store the next-gen titles on here, but again you CANNOT run the next-gen titles form here, only the previous-gen ones. Still a great SSD with good storage, and real-time transfer speeds of about 2.5 Gbps. Solid purchase.

Compact and reliable hard drive that's solid state so no moving parts to worry about. They can be pricey but I like this one so much I bought it twice.

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

Purchased for my wifes computer and moved all her personal files to it. Now she can just unplug and carry them with her whereever she goes. Seems to be working good so far.

I bought this SSD 1TB external hard drive for my wife to store photos and videos so that she can free up her C drive. The size is incredibly small but it is fast and she loves it.

Love it. Better than getting a regular hardrive if you want something that has much more longevity and much less of a risk to crash. Best buy has some of the best options for Solid State Drives.

So far so good with this storage device. I use it to make backups of my MacBook using Time Machine. It works great for this purpose. I have not had any issues with it yet. I like that it is small and easy to use. I would say that the price of this SSD is pretty good. Not too expensive. Overall, I would recommend it.

Has been tossed around in my backpack quite a bit and now I don't have to worry as much as my old spinning external drive I used to carry around. Transfer speeds are amazing! Well worth it and great value!
