I bought the specifically for my PS5 since Sony was very generous with the 800GB they gave to use at launch....lol
This adds a full 1TB since there is no "system files" or chunk of storage reserved, which is what the PS5 needs/does with it's internal storage.
I was skeptical since the PS5 was having issues with external storages drives with a handful of systems, but wow I must tell you - I'm shocked how FAST this thing performs. No joke, games pulled from this SSD seem to load faster that when they were on the internal drive!
I transferred all my PS4 games onto this is a matter of minutes, when it took over an hour to transfer to the PS5 initially! This thing is super small which is nice. I already have too many games I'm in the middle of and couldn't load up some of the PS5 games I bought - now I have plenty of room for awhile and shouldn't have a storage issue.
I was iffy about spending this much on PS5 storage but absolutely glad I did! Got it on sale for $160 and would recommend to anyone needing more gaming storage!

It’s incredibly small, which is excellent for personal use. The files transfer quicker than other external hard drives. I wish it had more storage capacity, but for the size of this product, it’s pretty good. For a easily portable storage product this more than exceeds expectations.

You can't go wrong with the T7. It's very compact, fast, comes with both USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables and works great. It can get a little warm under prolonged read/right but other than that I don't see any fault with this mighty drive

This External SSD drive does exactly what it should. It’s fast, reliable and portable. Transferring files from a computer is crazy fast along with none of the normal spinning hard drive problems where I’d you bump the drive while in use you lose all of your data. The only negative is the size - I wish it could be more compact.
Great ssd for the money...and it's Samsung quality

Samsung has made a great little ssd here! This thing is smaaaall.
I use it as extra storage for my Sony PS5 and it is fast enough to run games directly from it. Great bargain if you need reliability, speed and big storage amounts.

Perfect for moving files from an older laptop to a new one. Comes with USB A-C and USB C-C cables, which is very convenient. Amazing how small it is for such huge storage capacity.

More power- faster downloads. Less bulky storage! Compact and efficient! Had to replace my external storage due loss of information. Less worry to know that data is better protected with more advanced technology. And the price is definitely not hard on the budget neither! Great choice ,best comparable purchase on the market.

The Samsung T7 1TB External SSD is nothing short of exceptional! It's a powerhouse of performance and security, earning every bit of these five stars.
First and foremost, the speed of this SSD is mind-blowing. With USB 3.2 Gen 2 support, it's blazing fast, making file transfers and backups a breeze. Whether I'm working with large media files or loading games, the T7 never disappoints.
The compact, portable design is another huge plus. It's incredibly lightweight and fits in the palm of your hand, making it the perfect travel companion for professionals and gamers alike. The solid build quality ensures it can withstand the rigors of life on the go.
The real gem of this SSD is the hardware encryption. Knowing that my sensitive data is protected by robust security measures gives me peace of mind. Setting up the encryption is straightforward, and it's a must-have for anyone who values data privacy.
Compatibility is excellent; it works seamlessly across various devices, whether it's a PC, Mac, or even a gaming console. The included USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables make it versatile right out of the box.
In conclusion, the Samsung T7 1TB External SSD is a game-changer in the world of portable storage. Blazing fast speeds, top-notch security with hardware encryption, and a sleek design all combine to make it a five-star product.

I’ve had a good experience with my Samsung hard drive so far — it’s fast, reliable, and does exactly what I need. But the real test is still ahead: time. That’s where my old Seagate drive fell short, so we’ll see if this one holds up.

This portable external SSD is extremely fast, and lightweight. The connectivity is suitable as well, with Samsung bundling both a USB-C to USB-C, and USB-C to USB-A cable in the box. This allows the SSD to be used with PC, Mac, and Linux machines (formatted as FAT for compatibility), and with either of the USB formats. The read and write speeds reported by Samsung are accurate per my testing. Overall, a great purchase if you need an extra location to back up important data or to transfer files quickly between computers, especially when it's on sale.

Got while on Vacation. Ordered on line. Picked up at store on the way back to the hotel. Able to back up photos we took. Backed up some extras off the much smaller internal drive that is not worth replacing. The T7 was nice to be able to connect to other computers. It was super fast and transferred 400 GBs of photos and documents in the matter of minutes. Definitely would buy another one if I need a larger model in the future. The 1TB was a really useful size and fits nicely in any of my travel cases.

I was looking for extra storage to place old files and photos off my computer. I was so had a lot of photos I wanted to keep. This 1 terabyte helps me do just that! It’s small and can be stored anywhere. Great job Best Buy!
