Bought 2. One came with tape and sealed. One came no tape open box and look tore up. For the price paid it’s ridiculous to get an open box one. The worst part of having stuff shipped from Bestbuy, they are terrible with shipping used and returned items at full price.
Thank you for sharing your review of the unfortunate packaging experience you had with your seller. I would recommend you contact Best Buy directly for assistance in correcting the situation.
We hope your situation has a quick resolution, and you can soon enjoy the best-in-class reliability and performance of the Samsung T7 SSD. For product feature and usage questions, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

Thank you for purchasing the Samsung T7 Portable SSD and for your review. I am sorry to hear that you are not completely happy with the performance speeds.
The maximum transfer speed that can be achieved by the T7 is 1,050MB/s on a PC that supports USB 3.2 Gen2, UASP mode, but the speed may vary depending on the user‘s PC environment and the types of data being transferred. Please look to the details below for possible causes (and solutions), if you think your T7 is under performing.
Scenario 1 (PC Environment) Your PC's USB Type C Port must support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) in order to fully utilize the speed of the T7. USB 3.0 Gen.1, USB 3.1 Gen 1. USB 3.2 Gen.1 are restricted to 5Gbs speeds any may be the bottleneck to the performance of your T7.
Scenario 2 (Cable) Using other cables besides the enclosed cable that comes with the T7 may cause performance degradation. Due to the varying internal resistance and maximum allowable current of other the cable types that does not come officially with the T7.
Scenario 3 (Dynamic Thermal Guard, DTG) The T7 is designed to activate the DTG (Dynamic Thermal Guard) when the product reaches a its threshold temperature due to prolonged data transfers and usage. The smartly activated DTG function prevents the product from overheating and automatically slows down providing it a cool off period.

DoctorD:
Thank you for sharing with us that your iMac is not identifying your new T7 Portable SSD. We completely understand your frustrations, and we are here to help.
Please uninstall the software and download the current version (Portable SSD Software 1.0 for Mac, Version 1.7.4) at: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/
If you are still experiencing issues, this symptom may occur on some Mac OSXs due to the Apple policy that requires user approval when installing third-party software not directly distributed by Apple.
Please follow these troubleshooting guidelines. You may see the “System Extension Blocked” message appears when installing the Samsung Portable SSD software, and the “No Samsung Portable SSD is connected” message appears when executing the Samsung Portable SSD software. Open “Security & Privacy” in “System Preferences” menu and click “Allow” next to the message “System software from developer “Samsung Electronics” was blocked from loading”
If the symptom persists even after you follow these troubleshooting guidelines, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

T7 SSD & SW Do Not Work & Comes w/ No Instructions

The Samsung T7 SSD is useless. Connected it to a Samsung Galaxy S22+ and immediately got a error message "A USB storage device was removed unsafely. To prevent your phone from restarting unexpectedly, unsaved data and restart now." There are no instructions and the SW is also useless. How does a tech giant like Samsung manufacture such garbage? I wish I could return it, but it's past 15 days.

I bought this storage device and connected it to a brand-new Samsung Book 3 Ultra. The original purchase was unable to merge data from the cloud. I returned that one. Now, the second one will not merge data with the cloud. Moreover, it has occasionally lost files. Samsung tech support has not been helpful. Please don't buy this product.
We always aim to deliver a great experience, and it’s unfortunate to hear the T7 SSD did not meet your expectations.

This drive gave me so many issues. My macbook and mac both sometime would detect it and sometimes it will show error. I talked to samsung customer care and they could help me beyond certain point.

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Samsung T7 SSD. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
Check the Connection: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the SSD and your computer. Try using a different USB port or cable to rule out any connection issues.

Initialize the SSD: If the SSD is new, it might need to be initialized. Open Disk Management, find your SSD, right-click it, and select "Initialize Disk".
Check BIOS Settings: Ensure that your BIOS settings are configured to recognize the SSD. You may need to enable the SSD in the BIOS menu.
Update Firmware: Outdated firmware can cause compatibility issues. The latest downloadable Samsung Tools & Software can be found here: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/
