Customer Ratings & Reviews

Worked perfect with my MacBook Pro. Since i Dj, i need different genres of music on the go. More thenn enough space and super fast

Got annew video card that was too big to have with my hdd cage. Glad I found this one. It has a lot of space and is fast.

I've tried it on many different products; anything from a flagship Android device, MacBook, Win10 system & a Xbox One X. On the MacBook and Win10 setups, it averages speeds right around 850mb/s. On the Xbox One X console it averages about 490-520mb/s due to the console only having USB 3.0, so the SSD is essentially being bottle-necked, which I knew would be the case from day 1. However, in all cases this drive is ridiculously fast, has really nice build quality, easy to use on any platform and for what you're getting it's definitely worth the price. I've made this the main drive from which I run games off of on my XB1X. I have the stock internal 1TB HDD, a 5TB external USB 3.0 HDD that I download all games and apps to, and then I have this new 1TB SSD that I transfer my most played/current game(s) to because it loads and runs so much faster. Overall, I haven't had it long but I have no complaints, yet. If anything changes I'll be sure to update my review, but as of now I have no cons whatsoever about purchasing this SSD. For the price & the future proof of it being USB 3.2 Gen 2, it really is hard to beat.

So far this SSD has been great. its extremely portable. i use it with my docked Rog Ally to work on some personal projects. It was a great purchase.

After using the Samsung T7 1TB SSD for a year, I’m happy to grab a second one. It’s been a solid drive—super fast for transferring big files, and the size makes it easy to toss in my bag. The hardware encryption is a nice perk, especially since I’ve got some work files on it. I also own the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD, which is great too, but I feel the T7 runs cooler and feels a bit sturdier over time. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable choice.

Tiny, BIG, fast, and super portable. Best portable drive I have ever used.

Works great. No problems and does the job. Great external storage option.

My favorite hard drives! Only thing I use for my photography business

I use this drive to hold my music and videos for when I dj. It yet has to have a disconnection issue but only time will tell but for now its solid!

This is a very nice external hd. This thing is lightening FAST compared to my other standard HDD. It does get warm but just keep it in the open and you should be fine. It is kinda slippery so I suggest getting a case for it because it can definitely slip outta your hand. If you want a FAST external drive this is the one to get! It’s a kinda pricey tho.

I purchased this to use as an external drive for the Xbox Series X. While of course not as fast as the internal drive, this does have great read/write speeds and works excellent with legacy games to free up internal storage. For those who want portable solution, it has a really small footprint and could easily slip in a pocket.

Easy and fast external drive. This was my first SSD drive. I learned that these drives get warm if you write a lot of data to them at once. My computer is 5 years old so speed was constrained by only having USB 2.0 ports The drive is very compact. The fact that it came with two cables meant I didn't have to purchase any additional dongles or converters.

Great Drive!! Fast, Reliable, and Easy to Use!! Using for backups and transfer between computers offline for over a year without any issues.

This is a very fast external SSD drive and works very well with my Mac Mini giving me the additional drive space that I need. I love the compact size.

I was looking for extra storage to place old files and photos off my computer. I was so had a lot of photos I wanted to keep. This 1 terabyte helps me do just that! It’s small and can be stored anywhere. Great job Best Buy!

Worked great as an emergency backup location for important data. Really easy to setup and use. Has the ability to provide a password lock but haven’t used that yet. Fast transfer, small device did exactly what I needed.

What a great decision!! I was planning to trade in our Mid-2015 iMac 27" 5k as it was running SLOW...almost unusably slow to be honest. I wasn't sure what to do, then I read some online suggestions that going to an external (changing the HDD on an iMac is nightmare inducing) SSD drive. I did some research and settled on the Samsung T7 (warranty is less than the 5yr competitors however). After properly formatting the drive for a Mac bootable drive, and then cloning the internal hard drive, I started up the iMac...and OH MY GOODNESS!!! The iMac NEVER ran this fast...it is crazy what a difference this made (using the USB-A 3.0 port..not even Thunderbolt 2)!! I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a FAST external drive. It is truly tiny as well...hard to describe, but maybe the size of a deck of cards, but only about 7-10 cards thick.

The most durable and reliable hard drive. I use this for my photography business and swear by them. Super durable and small and compact perfect for traveling. I recommend this for any photographer new or experienced.

Great little drive. I know it should be getting around 1Gb/s transfer rate but I'm only getting 650 MB/sec on my M1 MacBook Pro. I'm confident that this is a MacBook issue and hope it will be resolved soon. Until then, I'm still happy to have the 650! All in all, the size, speed, and reliability of this drive make it a no-brainer for a new MacBook.
