    Super Fast and Nice Drive

    I love this little T7 portable drive. Especially now that prices have gone down a good bit with time/newer models. It is FAST. No doubt about that. A caveat: I've had the T1, T5, and now the T7. Each one has had problems with it's own software and my Mac computers. The older versions never did get proper updates to make the encryption/passwords work well and then Samsung suggested I had to upgrade the drive to get things to work. Since I just got the new M1 Mac, the newest version won't work with Silicone chips either, including in Intel with Rosetta 2. My solution? I just formatted it all the way as an APFS drive and use it as a normal non-encrypted external storage drive. For me, that's fine. I didn't buy it for the software and encryption, I bought it as a fast drive to backup my mac with Time Machine and files. For that reason, I highly recommend it.

    Excellent speed, small design to fit anywhere, and good capacity. Plus it comes it colors, I'm tired of the basic black white or grays. Metallic and red/blue are a good addition.

    Got this to back up my digital photos. I the mistake of not backing up my photos on the cloud or an external drive and lost about 4 thousand memories. Never again. I use this as a backup for other drives for storage. I know it sounds redundant, but if you want to safeguard your photos, you can't go wrong with this SSD drive. It's also compact, easily fits in your pocket.

    Great for time machine backup. Screamingly fast and doesn’t get hot. Works really well on my MBP 16, just plugged in and worked. I’m not using 5”the encryption, so can’t speak to that feature. Great drive for the money. Highly recommended.

    I use this drive for video editing on my iMac with Adobe Premiere. It's fast and it takes up very little room on my desk. It comes with two cables, a regular USB and a USB-C. They're only about 14" long, so your drive won't be very far from your computer.

    I'm using this for large file storage and it works as advertised. Also included two different types of connector cables so adding a star for that! Only time will tell if it'll last but so far, so good. The only thing I wish it had was a case but it's so small that maybe Samsung figured that most people wouldn't use it. Other than that I'm happy so far.
