    I have been using the T7 as a principal backup for my laptop and it works flawlessly. The login encryption is easy to setup and the read/write speeds are very good! Unless a faster portable SSD is needed for moving large files --- e.g., 4k video --- on a frequent basis, the T7 will be more than adequate. Otherwise, the T9 would be the way to go.

    Great so far. It's larger than the T5s I own, but still small and compact compared to other portable SSD brands.

    I love these Samsung SSDs - I have one (older model) that I use as a backup drive, and I use this one for as an external drive for my PS5 (formerly PS4). Very highly recommend.

    I bought this drive for a external boot drive for my IMAC 27" 2011. Internal drive was just too slow. MY IMAC WORKS MUCH FASTER NOW.

    The Samsung - T7 1TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption is a very useful portable SSD drive that I use to backup my HP All In One Computer and the performance is more than acceptable for backups and miscellaneous file storage. I would buy another one when I need more external storage.

    Great item, I use for work and is very fast and dependable. This is about the size of a credit card and works well if you travel. I purchased two of these for my coworkers to use. I purchased one in Black ad one in Blue, this way we can tell the difference from one persons to the next. I had a smaller drive and this one is much faster and the file transfers are super quick. I would purchase again when needed.

    This is a must for any laptop user with a type port. This thing is very fast and is silent since it’s an ssd. Works perfect for my wife’s MacBook Pro with the M1 chip.
