    Excellent unit. Connects easily to all my devices including Android phones, tablets, desktop Windows computers, and my laptop. Use it to transfer large video and audio digital content between them all. Speeds are very good. Device is small and easy to transport. Highly recommended.

    The Samsung 2TB SSD delivers excellent performance and reliability, making it a strong choice for both everyday users and power users. With fast read and write speeds, it noticeably improves boot times, file transfers, and overall system responsiveness. The drive feels well-built and dependable, which is consistent with Samsung’s reputation for high-quality storage products.

    This is my 3rd T7 and I love them. They're super quick and convenient. No glitches, no issues, gets the job done every time and has plenty of storage. Like I said I have 3 for 3 different purposes and I still haven't used up all the storage.

    I recently bought this drive, and it has been a huge help for my work. It’s incredibly fast, lightweight, and easy to use. I mainly use it to save all my files and projects, and it has really helped me offload a lot of storage from my laptop. Now my laptop runs smoother, and I have peace of mind knowing my important work is safely backed up. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable, portable storage.

    This is just what I wanted for storage of our photographs. Its small and unobtrusive, fast, reasonably priced, and I expect will be very reliable because its solid state, no moving parts.

    So small it gets lost on the desk. Gets hot sometimes. Super fast file transfers with MacMini M4. Could just plug into the back of the Mini with the right adapter, and hang there.

    Works great on 2020 iMac. I use it to run Windows 10 (via Bootcamp) and it runs quickly. There are online videos on how to install Windows on an external drive. It does get a bit warm so I keep the drive placed flat on the desk to help transfer the heat. Size is compact and feels like a solid product.

    Transferring from a MacBook to Windows laptop and wanted to move from a ~10 year old HDD external to SSD for faster read/write speeds, better durability, smaller form factor, etc. Have just over 500 GB of media dating back many years and wanting to keep it all safe for years to come. Was having the *worst* time with the HDD formatted in Mac OS extended. Luckily the Samsung T7 came formatted in exFAT already and was able to communicate with both my MacBook and my new Windows laptop. Didn't sit and measure write speeds (as was transferring from the old external HDD to the new T7) but was impressed when accessing the media later on how quickly everything loaded. The form is amazing - smaller than a deck of cards and much thinner too. No troubles with heat or either the USB type C or USB type A connections. (And pleasantly surprised that they included both in the box). Super happy overall and tons of room to grow into it now.

    This amazing unit, easily took all 2 TB of videos we put on it, and then proceeded to accidentally get placed in the washer with a whole load!!! EEK! After the wash cycle was completed it made its way in the dryer for a full cycle…. Once the hard drive was nice and clean we plugged it in to hopefully view our current uploads. She fited right up and works perfectly. :). I dont care what you say about Samsung, THIS BABY Is a work of art.

    Fast, small and easy to use. My main reason for buying this SAMSUNG SSD was the hardware encryption. In other brands that I bought before, I have hard time making the encryption to work smoothly. This SSD has a software easy to use and it works just great. Fast reading speeds, and small in size, very portable.

    This is a great unit. It's fast and 4GB is really lots of storage. My USB drive backups are done in much less than half the time compared to my WD Easystore drives, and it's portable as can be. I'll get another one when it's on sale again.

    The most impressive speed-up for an older system is an SSD drive! They are wicked awesome fast compared to an HD disk. This one is very small. Not much bigger than a short stack of business cards. My only concern is when I run it if it lies on, or worse under, a blanket; it runs pretty dam hot. When you think about how small the chips are way down inside this thing, they have to be really, really much hotter, and heat is not a good thing for semiconductors. Historically semiconductors fail in the first 90-120 days or so. After that, they go on to outlive the person who bought them, so running it between a couple of blankets might be a way to eliminate infant mortality within the warranty period. Works fine. Lasts a long time. Won't rust. Won't bust. It's a product you can trust.

    For its speed and size, this is really well priced. The capacity is big enough to handle just about any video shoot I've thrown at it. And is fast enough to both be directly recorded to from the camera and then turn around and edit all of that footage straight off of the drive with no lag or stutter at all. At least when plugged into USB 3.1 ports and higher. Its also incredible how light and compact it is despite being able to handle that kind of work load. I really appreciate that both a USB C to A and a C to C cable were included, as more and more thin laptops are coming with only Type C ports this allows compatability with a broad range of devices to work with. Including my smartphone. I guess my only nitpick about it is that the external casing could be a bit more protective. But a hardshell case for these things is not expensive and will likely do a better job of keeping it safe anyway. So thats really not a big deal at all.

    Great little back up SSD, very fast, very small and very easy to use. You really cannot beat the price and for Samsung quality it is a great deal. I connected the drive to my Macintosh lap top computer, configured it for a Mac and did my first back up in under ten minutes. BTW I did not expect it but a cable was included (really two cables a USB A to C and a USB C to USB c which is the one I used.
