    This is perfect for matching to my music studio. Super fast and causes no distortion when recording my home grown music.

    Good hardware but issues with Samsung software

    The SSD is fast and a large capacity. Even if according to specification, it is slower than the internal SSD on my laptop, I cannot really tell the difference. I use it for running Virtual Machine and software development. Where I had trouble is with Samsung Portable SSD software and Samsung Magician. I installed the Portable SSD software and got some very weird issues: I was NOT using encryption and the SSD start losing some changes. When I swap the SSD to another machine, folder or files created done on that machine were not appearing on the original machine. At one point, I reformatted the drive and it continues reporting the old folder, even though they were completely inaccessible. After I finally removed the Samsung Portable software, the problem went away. That software is only require for using encryption. Another issue was with Samsung Magician software. It updated the firmware, which was good. I had it for over a month and strangely, the laptop was no longer able to sleep, took me a while to figure out that the issue was with the external SSD. Uninstalling Samsung Magician fix the issue. None of Samsung software is required for basic use. But it was time consuming to troubleshot and figure out that Samsung software cause more harm than good.

    Super fast and great for regular use. This has a slim profile and and was $30 cheaper than SanDisk model. So went with this. The slim profile is awesome.

    This unit is great, no issues with performance. It works fine if connected through Type-C. I would recommend to anyone who requires data transfer on the go. This is my fourth drive and all are still working fine.

    I originally got it because i was told it could be formatted to replace an hdd my old pc had in it. I ended up going a different route. Its a good external storge. I saved an entire college course worth of lecture videos the textbook etc and all years worth of pictures to clear out my cloud storage

    I got it for my kid’s new gaming laptop. T7 is a small but powerful ssd with awesome write/read speed for gaming which shortens load times. Also enough space for games instead of putting them on the local ssd.
