    Very easy to use and small enough to store away in your bag without take up any room. Surprisingly fast and easy to use.

    I am extremely satisfied with my Samsung T7 1TB Portable SSD in Titan Gray. Its blazing-fast speeds make transferring large files incredibly quick, and the compact, durable design with hardware encryption offers both convenience and excellent security. This T7 SSD is a highly recommended, high-performance external drive, providing exceptional value. A big thank you to the store staff, who were incredibly professional and kind, making the purchase experience truly pleasant. Overall, it's an outstanding portable storage solution!

    This is a very nice external hd. This thing is lightening FAST compared to my other standard HDD. It does get warm but just keep it in the open and you should be fine. It is kinda slippery so I suggest getting a case for it because it can definitely slip outta your hand. If you want a FAST external drive this is the one to get! It’s a kinda pricey tho.

    I purchased my Portable SSD T7 in October 2024 and I am very pleased with it. I haven't had any issues at all, it's very fast and to this day seems very reliable. When I am in the market for another SSD backup drive, I will definitely purchase another Samsung USB Drive.

    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.

    Solid Performer in an External SSD

    Easy and fast external drive. This was my first SSD drive. I learned that these drives get warm if you write a lot of data to them at once. My computer is 5 years old so speed was constrained by only having USB 2.0 ports The drive is very compact. The fact that it came with two cables meant I didn't have to purchase any additional dongles or converters.

    MUST Buy if you have a slow iMac!!

    What a great decision!! I was planning to trade in our Mid-2015 iMac 27" 5k as it was running SLOW...almost unusably slow to be honest. I wasn't sure what to do, then I read some online suggestions that going to an external (changing the HDD on an iMac is nightmare inducing) SSD drive. I did some research and settled on the Samsung T7 (warranty is less than the 5yr competitors however). After properly formatting the drive for a Mac bootable drive, and then cloning the internal hard drive, I started up the iMac...and OH MY GOODNESS!!! The iMac NEVER ran this fast...it is crazy what a difference this made (using the USB-A 3.0 port..not even Thunderbolt 2)!! I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a FAST external drive. It is truly tiny as well...hard to describe, but maybe the size of a deck of cards, but only about 7-10 cards thick.

    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.

    Not getting better external ssd

    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.

    So far, this little booger is pretty awesome. It's solid state, so it's quite zippy. And it comes with two cables. One does USB-C to USB-C. The other is USB-C to standard USB size. Both the cables are really short. An excellent choice for a portable solid state hard drive.

    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!

    Purchased new when it was on sale. The drive is more than fast enough for backups, since I am not using as a primary boot/data drive. Small and light and USB A 3.1 to C gives about 3 GB transfer rate, fast enough for it's write function and better than the spinning hard drive I had for a backup before.

    This gives plenty of storage for your MacBook. I’m using it to store B-roll, temporarily filing current projects, and finished projects, as well as the editing software app. No more storage issues! Editing is now a breeze and takes a few minutes to export even for an hour long video.
