Customer Ratings & Reviews

Worked great as an emergency backup location for important data. Really easy to setup and use. Has the ability to provide a password lock but haven’t used that yet. Fast transfer, small device did exactly what I needed.

Great little drive. I know it should be getting around 1Gb/s transfer rate but I'm only getting 650 MB/sec on my M1 MacBook Pro. I'm confident that this is a MacBook issue and hope it will be resolved soon. Until then, I'm still happy to have the 650! All in all, the size, speed, and reliability of this drive make it a no-brainer for a new MacBook.

The Samsung T7 2TB SSD is incredibly fast and compact. File transfers are smooth and much quicker than a traditional external drive. The build quality feels premium, and the hardware encryption adds extra peace of mind for sensitive data. Easy to use with both USB-C and USB-A cables included. Highly recommended for backups and everyday use.

Very slim and fast! I bought some other storage devices and this is by far the best experience

So far this SSD has been great. its extremely portable. i use it with my docked Rog Ally to work on some personal projects. It was a great purchase.

Great external fast storage option for anything. T7 only improves upon the T5. Possibly my 5th now, have several T5's and 1 other T7. I tried the sandisk first before buying this last t7, but within a week it had unreadable errors/bad sectors, and my macbook would only allow read only. Really wierd, and certain its a one off. But went back to Best Buy and returned it for the samsung. Wanted to try something new, Samsungs have impressed and i have a bunch, lesson learned, stay with tried and true. Read/write speeds are fast. Gets warm, sometimes really warm, when workiing off of it for hours. Likely throttles a bit, but havent noticed. Works well for dumping video vides from an event, and then working off them (along with scratch drive) in FFP or Premiere Pro. Dont notice a difference in anything between local SSD and this external. $250 isnt cheap, but 250 for 2tb of fastish ssd, is going rate for drive itself, let along the enclosure and controller this usit gives. A+, have already and likely will, continue to buy.

Got annew video card that was too big to have with my hdd cage. Glad I found this one. It has a lot of space and is fast.

I really love this external hard drive! It came with 2 connector cords, one for a regular USB-A and one for a USB-C. It will be really helpful to have options depending on my computer needs. It has worked really well so far, and I love how spacious it is! It is also very small and easy to transport. It fits in the palm of my hand!

This drive is very fast and the build quality is great. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a small portable SSD solution. It's fast enough for me to work on Final Cut Pro projects right from the drive without any performance issues. I had a T5 drive previously and this is even thinner with better performance.

I have several of these and have been using them for years. Small, fast, reliable. Indispensable.

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!

As far as I can see, there are no problems with this product. I do audio recording with logic pro x. It’s fast and very reliable. I had returned a sandisc SSD because i got several HDD error messages. No problems with this one!

My favorite external hard drives! Small and easy to transport when I'm on the go, and I've dropped a few of them and they've all survived the drop too (though I don't recommend dropping them, lol). I use them to store high-res JPEGs and RAW images and they work great in combination with my Macbook Pro.

Works great. No problems and does the job. Great external storage option.

The most durable and reliable hard drive. I use this for my photography business and swear by them. Super durable and small and compact perfect for traveling. I recommend this for any photographer new or experienced.

This is a very fast external SSD drive and works very well with my Mac Mini giving me the additional drive space that I need. I love the compact size.

My favorite hard drives! Only thing I use for my photography business

Size is great, just wish SSD pricing would come down like the rest of storage has. This is really small and portable, but it feels like it should be treated very delicately to me. Speed is fast and appreciate having a spare 2TB with my internal 1TB SSD since editing videos takes up so much space.

When bench testing, the drive read & wrote at advertised speeds using MacBook Air M4. Under sustained, heavy loads, the drive gets warm, but never did it get too hot to comfortably touch. Note that I did not install the included software. I formatted it for use with MacOS Time Machine and it works fine. The price at Best Buy was very competitive. Shipping was nearly instantaneous. One odd thing is that the manual never mentions when the LED should be illuminated, flashing or off. Occasionally, when I know it is writing or reading, there is no light or the light is solid. Even when the computer is off, sometimes the LED is lit. Beats me!
