    Pretty solid option! I got mine for extra storage for my video projects, and so far it seems to be fast enough to edit off of (I shoot with an A7s3, 10 bit, 4k). The transfer speed is insane compared to the HDDs I was using. Would recommend!

    I have purchased 2 of these external hard drive memory cards. Wouldn't buy any other brand. Not flimsy like a standard disc memory. Strong. Hi memory. Easier to use. Very easy to set up and use. Better in every way compared to a "disc" memory.

    Xmas gift for the kids and their pc. They were running out of storage and this provides more than enough. Easy setup, and they were off and running in no time. No issues/problems so far. I think I’m purchasing one for my graphic design work.

    EXCELLENT External SSD for Mac; note on formatting

    Great dependable and fast external SSD. I am using the Samsung external SSDs with Macs, for quick Time Machine backups when the SSD is directly connected to a Mac. When I have used this SSD to setup a new Mac from a Time Machine back up from an old Mac, it is very quick. The Samsung SSD drive format is exFAT, which is compatible with Mac and Windows use. For Mac use only, the best format is AFPS, and formatting can be done by using Disk Utility in MacOS. Monitor the sale pricing; the price can occasionally drop significantly.

    My wife called this 'the greatest piece of tech' I ever bought. As a creative it allows her to quickly and easily move massive files between computers at home and on the go. Great build quality, discrete and light. Gets a bit warm during use, but not too bad. It's plug and play, but also has sokid security features like password protection.

    A great SSD to help expand my storage space. It always feels like I'm running out of storage space, so this portable drive is an immense convenience to store photos and videos!

    High speed storage that I use for video editing. My only issue is it overheats when moving a lot of files onto it at once, definitely hinders the read/write speeds and slows things down a lot. When using it to edit it works great.

    Love the size of it. So slim and not much bigger than a credit card. Plenty of storage space. Transfers media fairly quickly as well. Faster than i expected it to from a laptop that had not been used in a few years. About an hour for more than 100gb of media. Haven't tried from a phone yet. Opens up quickly as well when plugged into another laptop. Only downfall is the encryption process, Haven't totally figured it out yet, but once its encrypted and the password is set up i tried to open it on another device and the media would not show up on the new device, but it was still on the drive. Had to decrypt it on the old device before the media would show on the new device. Overall though it was worth the purchase though.

    The Samsung T7 is a true space-saver, packing 2TB into its sleek gray design. Transferring files has never been faster or more straightforward. For anyone needing extra storage without the bulk, this is the choice.

    A very fast drive. I bought this to get over 50gb of files off of 3 Imacs at my school that had videos i made for my film major classes, despite the fact those Imacs are slow on the network they run on this drive was very rapid. First time using a SSD it blew me away. I do not regret this purchase. Its amazing!

    Quite fast for an external USB drive! Nice value for storage. I do use this for my PS5, it’s not fast enough to play modern games, but it most certainly works well for storage of digital PS4 games and PS5 for easy transfer to console storage.

    My laptop only had one SSD drive. The external SSD drive is faster than the second internal hard drive some computers I’ve owned had. Works quite well to store old pictures taken before the cloud was known by the average consumer.
