Does not work
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brand new and doesn't work from the get go. Unable to play the cinematic of a video game: freezes every 2 seconds for a second. Basically unusable. Nothing else is installed than that one game. I moved the game to an old hard drive and it worked just fine there. I need a refund.

Slim and Fast
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little drive is amazing. Who would have thought you could hold 1TB in the palm of your hand. The drive dimensions are about the size of a credit card and thinner than a cell phone. Its very light weight but also feels durable to the point that it won't bend or break. It connects via USB 3.0 Type C with a cord that's not real long for plugging into the back of a desktop, but plenty long enough for a USB port on the front of a desktop or side of a laptop. The speed for transferring the large files is excellent and the drive stays cool to the touch. The encryption is also very easy and convenient, just don't forget your password. If you are looking for a slim, stylish and fast portable SSD, this powerful little drive will not disappoint and its so small I'd recommend getting one of the bright colors so you don't lose track of it.

Blazing Fast and Incredibly Reliable
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased the Samsung T7 portable SSD, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! As a video editor, I require a high-speed, dependable storage solution that can keep up with my demanding workflow, and the T7 has exceeded my expectations. First off, the data transfer speed is phenomenal. With USB 3.2 Gen 2, I am able to move large 4K video files in a fraction of the time it used to take with other external drives. This efficiency has significantly streamlined my editing process, making it smoother and faster. The build quality is also top-notch. The sleek, compact design is not only stylish but also very practical. It fits perfectly in my bag without adding any bulk, making it ideal for travel. Despite its light weight, it feels sturdy and durable, which gives me peace of mind when I'm on the go. Security is another aspect where the T7 shines. The built-in hardware encryption provides an extra layer of data protection, ensuring that my files are safe even if the drive were to fall into the wrong hands. Overall, the Samsung T7 has been a fantastic purchase. It offers superb performance, reliability, and security, all wrapped up in a stylish and portable package. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-performance external SSD. It's truly a game-changer for professionals and hobbyists alike.

Thank you for purchasing the Samsung T7 Portable SSD. Samsung drives adhere to the IDEMA standard of advanced formatting, which will result in the drive appearing as less than the listed size.
The amount of space that appears to be "missing" is in fact used by the drive/card for storing firmware, metadata and spare blocks. Your operating system (Windows, Linux, etc.) will also affect the usable space -- different operating systems will use different amounts of space to store their metadata. Consequently, formatted space will always be less than unformatted space.
You can look IDEMA up online for more technical details about this standard, which is established by The International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association.

Thank you for purchasing the Samsung T7 Portable SSD and for your review. Thank you for sharing your experience with the performance speeds.
The maximum transfer speed that can be achieved by the T7 is 1,050MB/s on a PC that supports USB 3.2 Gen2, UASP mode, but the speed may vary depending on the user‘s PC environment and the types of data being transferred. Please look to the details below for possible causes (and solutions) if you think your T7 is under performing.
Scenario 1 (PC Environment)
Your PC's USB Type C Port must support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) in order to fully utilize the speed of the T7. USB 3.0 Gen.1, USB 3.1 Gen 1. USB 3.2 Gen.1 are restricted to 5Gbs speeds any may be the bottleneck to the performance of your T7.
Scenario 2 (Cable)
Using other cables besides the enclosed cable that comes with the T7 may cause performance degradation. Due to the varying internal resistance and maximum allowable current of other the cable types that does not come officially with the T7.
Scenario 3 (Dynamic Thermal Guard, DTG)
The T7 is designed to activate the DTG (Dynamic Thermal Guard) when the product reaches a its threshold temperature due to prolonged data transfers and usage. The smartly activated DTG function prevents the product from overheating and automatically slows down providing it a cool off period. The DTG technology enhances safety and reliability by preventing the product from reaching an excessively high temperature.
Should you need further assistance, please contact Samsung Customer Support directly so that we can better investigate your speed issue and assist you towards a resolution.
