    Seems to work well, so far. It is quick and came with two mini cables for transferring data. One USB-C to USB-C, and the other from a USB-USB-C

    The Samsung 2TB SSD delivers excellent performance and reliability, making it a strong choice for both everyday users and power users. With fast read and write speeds, it noticeably improves boot times, file transfers, and overall system responsiveness. The drive feels well-built and dependable, which is consistent with Samsung’s reputation for high-quality storage products.

    VERY FAST EXTERNAL DRIVE

    I purchased this drive to be able to bring various files along with me when not at home, This is good if you have limited disk capacity and no network connectivity to any cloud services. I formatted the unit in APFS to work with a 16" M1 Pro MacBook. I added several containers (think partitions) to store data in easy to retrieve locations. Data transfer times are very fast between this device and the MacBook. Keep in mind the speed of your computer's main disk device and the interface on the machine you will be using this with. I purchased the unit on sale, which made it a very good buy. If 2TB is too large, the units are offered in 1TB and 500GB. Units with slower transfer times are available as well.

    Perfect Storage for just about everything needed

    This is invaluable to have. Cant tell you how many times i have carted this around with me to get files back in forth to where i need them. 2 TB works great, can be used as a Time Machine backup, but why GO Raid. As a Portable drive this is fantastic. 2 TB is the right amount of storage to get anything you could possible image from point a to point b.. I am using this as a Sample Storage for Music studio (AND YES, samples can take up a TB or two easy) but also music score info.. This cuts down on having to carry so much clutter with me.. Simply fits in the pocket and off i go.. When i use it for my IT stuff i can keep just about all the code i need for reference along with ANY MSDN docs and installs. Perfect companion for on the go.

    The Best Buy employees had it ready as soon as I got there from placing the order online so kudos to them for sure. Great hard drive, very fast, easy to work off of. I got it without the gel because it saved a little bit of money but if you're traveling a lot with your HDs maybe invest in the protective gel.

    It’s amazing how small these external drives have gotten. My old one was about eight years old and was working fine, but I was getting nervous so got a new one to make sure I have no issues in the near term. Works great and as intended.

    I love the small compact size, fast transfer rate using the USB 3.2 Gen 2. The Encryption seems to be solid. Now I am able to re-organize all my files and put all the files I want to make sure I have a back up on this nice portable drive.

    This is so small and has a lot of space for files. It's very easy to use. It is also expensive. If you have the money and need to back up files, this will be great. I just can't believe the pocketability of this product.

    Great External SSD

    Bought for my PS5 since the PS5's storage is low. I have a lot of PS4 games and PS5 games that I had to keep deleting so when I finally got this storage I was relieved that I wouldn't have to keep reinstalling games. And since I heard the T7 was a really fast External drive I knew I had to get it. And it is! It's very quick at downloading games and loading them as well. I thought maybe I'd be waiting a bit longer since it's playing off a External SSD but nope! It's almost as fast as the PS5 SSD when loading my PS4 games up. Also with the recent software update on PS5 I can now store my PS5 games on here to which is fantastic! I've already used over half way of the storage on this thing and still have a lot more room for extra PS4 games.
