    This is a tiny but mighty device. Not sure I really needed it, because the Geek Squad gentleman (Raymond) told me that my MacBook Air automatically backs data up. But, I am glad to have it, in case things get lost. So easy to use / you just plug it in and it does its job.

    Fast, Small, Lightweight SSD.

    I've had this for about a year, maybe more. I use it for backing up code and also some game installations in launchers like Steam. Do note that that sometimes installations by Steam might be incredibly slow (especially the "Reserving Space" and "Validating Files" stages) but this is likely the fault of how Steam interacts with external drives. Once installed the games play great. Also note that USB transfers will always be inherently slower than internal drives. I definitely recommend using a high speed USB port to mitigate that. The drive is small and light. Very easy to toss in your backpack and go. Definitely a great choice for media storage and archival.

    Excellent. Tiny size. Super portable. Don't even need a case, just put it in my pocket. Very fast too. Worth the expense, which is high considering the storage size

    After using the Samsung T7 1TB SSD for a year, I’m happy to grab a second one. It’s been a solid drive—super fast for transferring big files, and the size makes it easy to toss in my bag. The hardware encryption is a nice perk, especially since I’ve got some work files on it. I also own the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD, which is great too, but I feel the T7 runs cooler and feels a bit sturdier over time. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable choice.

    Very fast SSD with great hardware. Comes with USB-C to USB-C cable that allows for Power Deliver and full USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds. And a USB-C to USB-A that also allows for 10Gbs speed. I have zero complaints and edit all my videos and photos off of this drive. I wish I would have bought one sooner. It is small, light and can slip in any pocket of a backpack or laptop sleeve, perfect for on the go.

    Using this drive as an augmentation drive for a video processing laptop with a full drive. Attached via USB-C with a 40gbps rated cable. This drive copies quickly and able to use Adobe Premiere to create and render video as if were a system drive. Previously did this on a sandisk extreme ssd on the same cable and had nothing but problems. This drive has been extremely useful is processing and has greatly reduced previous stress and issues.

    Small, Fast File Storage

    Have only had for a short time, but it has so far been fast and reliable. While transferring larger amount of files (~100 GB at a time), it was tending to run hot, but cooled off almost immediately after the transfer was complete. It is as small and compact as I could have asked for. High quality product.

    Love these Samsung SSDs. They are fast and reliable little drives. The only downside is that they’ve gone up in price from what they used to be.

    The package comes with both a USB-A-to-USB-C cable and a USB-C-to-USB-C cable, just so you know. I was quite happy with the addition of both cables. I have had issues with USB-C in the past but so far the C-to-C cable works super fast and has given me no problems (so I haven't even had to use the other cable, yet, but I'm glad I have it). It can get quite hot, so make sure it's propped up on something or you pause frequently between file transfers. And, so far, I've only had it disappear and not show up in my file folders once, after going idle. Overall, just a bump up to a better experience.

    Perfect for my needs. You can reformat the drive any way you’d like and even split the format. It’s perfect for music projects and catalogues. Plenty of space for documents and can even be used as a back up for your laptop. Very easy to use I have about five of these devices.

    **5-Star Review for Samsung T7 1TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD** I recently purchased the Samsung T7 1TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD, and I couldn't be more impressed! Here are a few reasons why I’m giving it a five-star rating: 1. **Incredible Speed**: With read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and write speeds of 1000 MB/s, transferring large files has never been faster. It significantly cuts down the time I used to spend waiting for backups and file transfers. 2. **Compact and Durable Design**: The sleek, lightweight design makes it easy to carry around in my bag. Plus, the aluminum body feels sturdy and is resistant to shocks, which gives me peace of mind when I'm on the go. 3. **User-friendly Setup**: Setting up the T7 was a breeze. It was recognized instantly by both my Windows and Mac systems, and I didn't need to deal with any complicated installations or formatting. 4. **Security Features**: I appreciate the built-in password protection and AES 256-bit encryption. It adds an extra layer of security for my sensitive data, which is essential in today’s digital world. 5. **Versatile Compatibility**: The T7 works seamlessly across various devices, including PCs, Macs, and even gaming consoles. It’s perfect for storing games, media, and important files without worrying about running out of space. Overall, the Samsung T7 1TB External SSD is a fantastic investment for anyone looking for speed, portability, and reliability. Highly recommended!
