    After a week of use I knew the investment was right! It’s so fast, portable, no glitches, no error messages, it’s just perfect. I was able to get rid of my 3-year old hard drives from my closest for the first time and I was so happy!

    I've bought five of these so far. They're fast and reliable. I always reformat them for the Mac first thing. The compact size and flat sides makes them easy to store, and they take a label very well. The bright colors are fun.

    Dead on arrival. Apparently the process of creating the SSD was not finished because the drive came unformatted and didn't have the normal management software on it.

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung T7 1TB SSD. I am sorry to hear that you experienced difficulties.

      Please know that sometimes customers are unaware of the formatting and initialization steps that must take place before using the drive. The drive might thus appear "DOA." Samsung does not place any formats on the SSD to allow customers to use it for their specific setup.

      Please reach out to Samsung Customer Support so that we can provide troubleshooting. A representative will gladly help you with step-by-step installation.

    I went into the Best Buy store to get a external hard drive for my iMac for computer, and there was an Apple guy there that spent the time with me helping me pick the right product, and avoid. Did he take the right one. This hard drive works great. I recommend the Samsung T7 to anyone needing more space.

    This is the first SSD drive I’ve owned and I know I shouldn’t have been surprised by how small it is, but... it’s crazy small for a 1TB drive that works this swiftly. Build quality seems exceptional. The packaging is nice and it comes with both USB-C and USB-A cables to take care of whatever you intend to plug it into. I’ve been mainly using it with an iPad Pro and the drive was immediately recognizable the first time I plugged it in. No issues there, so far. I also used it with a Windows 10 PC to make a copy of years worth of photos and videos from a different drive. I didn’t check to see what the actual write speed was, but I was completely impressed and satisfied. It was far faster than anything I’ve used in the past, that I can assure. If you’re in the market for one of these, I can’t imagine you’d be disappointed by what Samsung has made here.

    Big Storage, Small Size

    Awesome external storage device. Very compact in size for what is typically thought of as a portable SSD. I have an external closure for an M.2 card and while it is a little skinnier, it is definitely taller, and obviously a traditional portable 2.5" drive is significantly larger. The size is perfect, not too small to lose like a Flash Drive, but not so big like a portable 2.5". Running some speed tests may not hit the theoretical times it says it can, but real world was plenty fast. I moved 3.17GB Folder with various photos and videos in about 3 seconds. I don't have access to a 3.2 USB-C port, but I do have thunderbolt ports on my main laptop and again for my use it is really good. The aluminum casing is a nice touch, running the speed tests it did get warm, but under normal usage it stayed neutral temp to touch. If you are in the market for a good portable SSD, I would highly recommend the Samsung T7. Only complaint is I ordered the Indigo Blue and received the Gray one.

    Samsung Portable SSD T7

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought a product that was compact and had significant memory - and Samsung Portable SSD T7 1TB hit the mark. The device is very user-friendly, as you simply plug in the UBS cord to the computer and portable hard drive. I used the portable drive to back up my entire computer, and I used less than 30% of the available space on the drive. Bottom line: this device is easy to use, functional, has a lot of capacity, and copies folders and files relatively quickly. Samsung could have provided a sleeve or case to protect the portable harddrive.

    the Samsung T7 SSD drive is fast, reliable and has gobs of storage space. I love it. I have several Samsung SSD drives which I use for music composition. I swear by them. Best Buy had the product in stock. I ordered it online and it was waiting for me by the time I got to the store. Thank you Samsung for a great product and thank you Best Buy for superior service (the product was on sale also, by the way!)

    So far I am just loving the compact size of this drive, not to mention the transfer speeds, and the ease of use. I had been looking some backup storage for a little while but didn't want a standard flash drive or an SD card, but I also didn't want a full size external hard drive. This is the perfect form factor, about the size of a playing card and the thickness of ~20 cards, it is easy to pop into a pocket or bag, but not so small that it's easy to misplace. I have already put several gigabytes of documents on it and the transfer speeds were fantastic. Older drives of mine can take their time with larger files, but this drive just beats them all. Really enjoying this one so far, and I might have to get a second one. I would absolutely recommend it.
