The young man in the computer/laptop area was most helpful and efficient in locating exactly the part I needed and made an excellent recommendation. While a little higher in price I was confident that it was the right choice. I came home installed it and it solved the difficult I was having with my wi fi. Thanks to everyone at Best Buy.

Nice color.
Lots of problems trying to transfer data from
Mac mini to new Mac mini.
I thought it was going to be easy.
I may return and get a case and separate ssd to copy my old mini to ssd so I can use as primary drive.
Not impressed

Unfortunately with this product, I have only been seeing 40 mb/s transfer speeds with this device on my Alienware Aurora R11. To double check if it was my pc that was the problem, I hooked up the device to my Xbox. Xbox stated " Storage must be USB 3.0 or faster. This device is too slow."

Stopped working after 6 months. Lost all my data. Very frustrating
Samsung stands behind the quality and performance of every T7 SSD we manufacture with a limited 3-year manufacturer’s warranty when purchased brand-new, directly from any authorized dealer, like Best Buy.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.

BLUF: Do not buy the T7 unless you have a handful of tiny files that you want to occasionally transfer!
Advertised speeds are not for sustained transfers! For a 10GB + file, expect to see it transfer as advertised- at first -and then expeditiously drop off to usb 2.0 speeds. Hands down the worst SSD purchase I have made.
Spend less money on T5 and get WAY more reliable performance!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
