Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed a faster drive as photos and videos are taking up more space as resolution increases and my data was trapped in the cloud somewhere. I bought this drive thinking it was a temporary fix and it turned out to be a godsend. There are faster drives available BUT… many are rated at 25%-30% of the total read/write cycles of this drive meaning they’ll last 25%-30% of the estimated drive life. It’s fast enough to do anything an intermediate user would need to use with the benefit of password protection and encryption. Just make sure you don’t lose your password if you activate one, not sure if you can recover it if that were to happen. Password protection and 750-850 Read/write speeds on my Mac (750 read on my M1/850 read on my Intel model) make it 10x faster than my old external WD HDD and I’m future proofed for years to come. Excellent value and performance. I usually shoot for the stars when buying new components but this purchase had NO Remorse associated with it. I actually want to gift one to everyone I know who has had issues recovering media from their phones or clouds. It can download entire albums in record time depending on the size of your library. I’d highly recommend this product and will probably be buying 1-2 more in the near future

Greta product I’ve had this for a while and I use for professionally for my photography business

Decent amount of storage with fast transfer speed rates

Very compact, and fast turn around time. Prompt delivery.

This was my first time purchasing an external SSD. I have been very satisfied with the product. Wish I would have bought the 2T version. I keep all my media files on this and have never had an issue running Light room, watching movies, or listening to music while this is plugged into my laptop.

Great product! Very happy with the performance.Easy & quick to transfer data/files.

Working great so far and fast. I hooked this up to my MacBook Pro 16.

I had several external hard drives and was looking for one that was a SSD type with more room for storage. I am liking this external HD very much! More than enough space for what I need when I backing up my laptop. I am comfortable in knowing my data is secure on it and I like the SSD Hardware Encryption as well. Great little external HD!

I have used Samsung T5 and T7 and they both work for me without issue. I’m a filmmaker, my shop is MAC based and I use a lot of Blackmagic Design cameras, URSA Minis, Pocket Cinema Cameras and other BM gear. As I said at the top my use of the T7 with any of my cameras has been great and without issue. I format them, connect them via the provided cable and it provides me with uninterrupted recording. I have read many of the complaints about the incompatibility of the T7 with Blackmagic cameras but this has not been my experience. I do however recall being onset and noticed a PA having issues with the T5/7 not connecting with the camera and the issue was they were using a low grade USB-C cable. The moment I gave him a better cable the matter was resolved. Anyway I hope this helps someone.

I love it. I’m transferring old pictures and videos of myself, son, family and friends from my old hard drives. It was time to upgrade. Much needed .

Excellent SSD, super portable and no problems with it

I’ll start off by saying that you CANNOT run Xbox Series X/S titles from this device. However, you CAN run regular Xbox One games from it. I use it on my new Series X console and I figured out that it’s best to use this to store all of the Xbox One/360 titles on and the next-gen Series X/S on the internal drive. You can, however, store the next-gen titles on here, but again you CANNOT run the next-gen titles form here, only the previous-gen ones. Still a great SSD with good storage, and real-time transfer speeds of about 2.5 Gbps. Solid purchase.

This is my second Samsung external SSD I have a T7 touch for my PS five and got this one for my daughters PS five great hard drives nice and fast and little quicker than the PS4 and the price isn’t too bad.

The quality of this drive is top notch. Feels much more premium than my old WD HDD covered in plastic. This thing is tiny, credit card sized, though obviously thicker. The blue looks amazing! Fast read/write times and the little LED on it is helpful. If you are looking for a premium feeling, durable SSD that's very potable, look no further. Got this on sale for a great price and couldn't be happier with it.

Bought it for my PS5 Works excellent put all my old PS4 games and play it right from the hard drive now you could store PS5 games on there but can’t play them transfer rate is pretty fast pretty impressed with it

Well...I purchased a Mac mini last year from best and I knew that the on board 128 gigs of ram would someday come around to bite me so... I read and researched about how I could clone my OS onto an external hard drive especially when the new upgrade made it a necessity! So I pulled it off and couldn't be happier not did it work but I gained up and download speeds in the 800 plus range, it's incredible glad I did it! I had been checking out the samsung externals for quite sometime, this one is awesome!!

I got this because mine got stolen but it works so seamless and it's fast.

Super small & light. It's a solid product, but it scored much higher on my PC running CrystalDiskMark compared to running the Blackmagic disk speed test on my M1 Mac Mini. Read speed: 1,044 MB/s vs.696 MB/s. Write speed: 942 MB/s vs.743 MB/s. Strangely, it scored higher on the write speed compared to the read speed on my Mac.

This is a very convenient form factor, it is fast as well. I have several now and they are connected to my Caldigit Element 4 hub . It is connected to my 14" MacBook Pro M1 Max. The Samsung SSDs are nice as I can connect them either to the the 3.2 USB or Thunderbolt 4 ports on the hub.

When my laptop was crashing, Geek Squad personnel suggested to save all my stuff on this. It comes with different cables, ask you to download the app for it, you can set up a password for security, and uploaded everything instantly. Great to back up your stuff on it frequently. Easy to download from it.
