    It's amazing how things get smaller. I have an external hard drive from a few years ago that has a 500gb capacity and this is double that at 1tb but a third of the size. Plus it's Samsung which is always a great product. From TV's to this device Samsung has never let me down. Easy to load, small and convenient- it's great, highly recommended!

    What a great 'little' external drive! It's being used to backup a laptop and WOW! What used to take several hours was done in less than 30 minutes! Crazy fast! No bigger than a thick credit card, it's small enough to carry in a pocket or in a drawer! Perfect for my needs!

    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

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.

    Very good product, found it for $80 and has been durable and fast so far. I use it for gaming and I have about the same speeds that in my internal disk, so it's a good deal so far. Plus it comes with the Samsung software that tells you things like temperature.

    Needed a quick and easy way to dump LOTS of videos into storage to give my phone more space. This was super easy plug and play and has ample space to hold everything and more for the future. Decently priced as well. Encryption is straight forward and a much appreciated feature. I also appreciate the compact size.

    Great little drive, lightweight and fast

    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.

    Perfect Back Up/ Portable Drive

    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.

    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.

    Pretty simple and easy to use. Very fast. The only thing i don't like about this vs my sandisk is the ability to export photos from Lightroom directly to the hard drive. For some reason I can’t do that with this one but i can with my sandisk, so it just makes for extra steps. It also had me download this security thing to my desktop and when i have it plugged it, it always says “please connect drive” so I’m not sure what the point is in having it so I just deleted it. Otherwise, it’s reliable, lightweight and very durable.

    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 is a small but powerful SSD that I would recommend for anyone looking for a fast drive to work on. I went for an emergency Best Buy run in the middle of an editing project and it was the only SSD available at the store when I went so I was a little bit doubtful about it at first. Thankfully, it worked perfectly for my project and saved me in the middle of a rush! Would def recommend, and looking forward to buying one with more space in the near future!
