    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.

    Was able to get a good deal on it for price and it's great. Using it as an upgrade for an older imac, only using usb for hookup, but it's quite a bit faster. Everything loads quickly, very easy to setup and happy I did it, feels like a newer computer and all my apps run more efficiently. Definitely going to get another one or two, oh and wow, it's small, really small, which is impressive over the older ssd's.

    Samsung - T7 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable Solid State Drive with Hardware Encryption I especially appreciate the facts that there is no moving parts, fast read/write speeds and very compact. This is the second one I’ve purchased. I fly the DJI INSPIRE 2 and that machine is a data devouring Drone. I can easily download my 960GB CINESSD memory stick to my MacBook through Apple’s Final Cut Pro at full resolution, transfer to the SAMSUNG SSDs then retrieve pieces back to the Mac as I go into production mode.

    Fantastic small 2TB external SSD Drive, I have so many tv shows and movies downloaded on here and it’s great to carry them wherever I go. The speed is super fast and I know people complain how hot it can get but I only noticed that while transferring my files from my PC to the drive. But it hasn’t got hot while it’s plugged into my tv watching movies and TV shows. I do check it once in a while to make sure and it’s nice and cool

    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.

    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.

    I bought this for a friend who does a lot of photography work on her Macbook after her old external drive went south. I was surprised at how small it was when out of the box. I watched it in action and was told that everything loaded much faster and worked out perfect for what she needed. Also the perfect size for on the go on her photography gigs.

    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.

    Great SSD. Fast and furious. Stays cool and has lots of space for my photos and movies. Smaller than I expected. Strange occurrence with the cable provided, the connector at the drive melted as if overheated. Didn't affect performance, but I replaced it anyway. Hasn't been an issue since.

    I use this drive for my photography and video editing. I would say this is one of the best portable SSD’s in the price range at the moment. The design is very compact and pocketable easy to carry. It is very well built and about the size of a credit card. Highly recommend anyone who needs speed in their creative profession and pocketable storage. Samsung has the best SSD’s in the market. I picked this up from curbside in about 5 minutes. Best Buy associate was very precise and helpful. Great product customer service overall!
