    Good quality SSD, as I expected from Samsung

    Slim and quick SSD, comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-3 cable. The Samsung Magician application (the only thing on the drive when you plug it in) isn't a bad piece of software. I'd recommend reformatting the drive from exFAT to NTFS, but that's a personal preference for partitioning.

    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.

    I love this storage device! The size is very small and portable. Seems like a solid build, it has an aluminum shell. Samsung supplies two cables, one for usb c to usb c and the other from usb c to usb. Ready to plug and play with either connection. Plenty fast read and write speed.

    Great portable SSD & Large Capacity

    Great to have this backup, which is so small / portable. I have had good experiences with Best Buy and this external SSD. I have purchased several for work, to hold all of my editing projects. SSD's just cost more, but am assuming that the price will come down on this. I have had a 2 HDD's give up the ghost recently. That 'death rattle' sound of moving parts clinking against each other is ominous and enough for me to replace all of my externals, not recalling how old they were. It is worth the money now for me, as I spent days trying to recover, alas unsuccessfully.

    I don’t have much luck with standard externals which is unfortunate due to their immense portable space and convenience so given that I’ll be needing some reliable portable drives I decided to take a dip into the external SSD pool. 2 TB may not seem like a lot but I’ve got about 20 or so games installed (some between 30-100 GB apiece) and still have half of my space left. It runs as well as you would expect for SSD. I’m no expert, I don’t notice it run any faster or lower I just notice my laptop doesn’t lag like it does it with my external.

    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.

    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.

    This external SSD includes both USB-C and the older style USB connectors in the box. It is small and thin with a metallic shell. While not tested, it says it has a 2 meter drop distance. I would recommend this to others looking for an external SSD.
