    This is my first portable external storage device so I wasn't really sure what to expect. What I do know is that I was able to transfer about 4K photo's with some videos mixed in in less than 4 minutes. It took be about an hour to transfer those same files form my phone to my PC. The setup was easy. You just plug it in, find the device, and tell it with system you are using it on. It installed and updated the software itself and I had no issues. It's super fast with no noise being made at all. I would say that it weights a few ounces and is about the the equivalent to 6 credit cards stacked on top of one another as far as both width and length.

    A few years ago, solid-state drives were luxuries. The prices have come down – and the sizes have increased. So it is reasonable to have half a terabyte drive that you can carry with you. I'm testing a one terabyte version made by Samsung. It comes with USB 3.2 cable and regular USB 3 cable. It is said to have the hardware encryption which I was able to test. The program can be downloaded here for Windows https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/global.semi.static/SAMSUNG_PORTABLE_SSD_T7_TOUCH_20200324/SW/M1Y2D9M9090J2KIA55338E2512E718DB3E7A87298A7108/SamsungPortableSSD_Setup_1.0_Win.zip and here for Mac https://s3.ap-northeast- 2.amazonaws.com/global.semi.static/SAMSUNG_PORTABLE_SSD_T7_TOUCH_20200324/SW/M1Y2D9M9090J2KIA55338E2512E718DB3E7A87298A7108/SamsungPortableSSD_Setup_1.0_Mac.zip To me, it seems to lock out the drive – and change the size of the partition so the encrypted file(s) / folder(s) I hidden from the computer that this software is not installed on – or if the password is not entered. I am unable to test how secure this is but I sure a government agency that deals with intelligence may be able to look at the files without your help. The program, if not deleted from the drive, can be installed on more than one computers so you can access the files (with the password) on any computer. At this time, it is version 1.72 but it is considered “portable SSD software 1.0.” But I don't use it for anything like that so I find this little drive (and it is tiny) very usable to carry files around. The transfer rate is very high – I connected it to an LG laptop that has 3.1 connector and it blew way any physical hard drive that I have. It comes down to this.. you don't want to put any price on your valuable data – Samsung is known to make high quality solid-state drives, so this should last a while. (You do not want to defrag a solid-state drive because it will wear it out.) If I have to choose between this one and a less well-known brand, this Samsung drive would be my first choice. It seemed reliable enough and the transfer rate is very high and with any solid-state drive, it is impact resistant so he could bang around in your bag without failing. Unless it is filled with video files, this should be big enough for any college student or for a professional that has to carry his files home.

    I love how small this 1 Tb drive is! One cable hook up. I have an older 500 Gb drive that is about the size of a large bible and needs a separate power adapter. This would slip into your pocket without even noticing It! Great to travel with. It comes with 2 included cables. USB A to USB C, and C to C. And setup software is right on the drive. I used this for Wireless network storage. Easy enough to setup, Just know the address and path your router gives it. Plug it in and you're good to go!

    I have the T7 secure, and most of the features are the same minus the finger print sensor, and while that one is used for work, this one is used for play. Setup is easy, you plug the drive in, and run the T7 software. It comes with two USB cords, a USB-C to USB-C and a USB-A to USB-C. So, there are options. I did do a test run and created a backup on my gaming desktop (Using USB-C to C) and I created an image of my computer in under thirty minutes. I love this tiny drive. I love the size and features. I primarily utilize this drive to store all my photographic work and it transfers photos super-fast, so if you need something small and fast for portability, this drive is perfect for you.

    Samsung created an extremely helpful resource that can be used personally and/or professionally. This External is absolutely perfect! It is not bulky. It is thin, very lightweight and delicate. The storage is amazing! I transferred the files, pictures, music, movies, etc., and have more than half free. I will purchase another (and possibly one more after that) just because they're size and storage are perfect.
