    This is a nicely packaged external SSD that comes with all the necessary cables (I needed the USB cable). It was recognized and worked immediately with my Linux workstation. I had to reformat the drive to a Linux file system, but that was no big deal. Performance is quite fast, and the one terabyte of space is much appreciated. Overall, I rate the drive as a good deal for the money. The red color is a bonus!

    **Purchased on 11/30/2020 Black Friday sale, after eyeing it since release early 2020** Edit: Make SURE that both your computer and the USB-C cable you are using is capable of the USB3.2Gen2 speeds that this offers!! Alright guys listen up, Im a wannabe film maker/photographer alright, and on top of that I am a full time student studying biology and nursing during this pandemic. Check this all out For school, being online, I record my entire screen with audio for every lecture (because I cant focus for the life of me and I require reference all the time, also my memory is crap lol) so that's about 3-4 lectures a day (with each recording being 3-5GB) and I go between keeping them on my MacBook's hard drive and off loading them onto this SSD. So I have a Fuji X-T3 and a MacBook Pro 13in(Intel i5, early 2020, 16GB RAM, 1TB storage) for all my creative desires... For photography, I shoot in full uncompressed RAW with TONS of "spraying and praying" (so obviously that's GIGABYTES of data, on average about 60-80GB per shoot) and for video, I shot a bunch of weddings in full 4K, 60fps 10-bit 4:2:0 at 200mbps H.265/HEVC (between of 240-320GB of footage per wedding) GUYS. LISTEN- Not ONLY can this thing transfer 600GB of data in under 12 minutes... Playback of ANY video (my lectures or footage from my camera) is STUTTER FREE!!!! But WAIT!! THERES MORE!! I use Final Cut Pro X for my film making needs... The T7 can handle NON-PROXY EDITING!!!! This translates into NOT having to spend time waiting for optimized media AND saving space on both my MacBook and this SSD!! YOU CAN EDIT 4K H.265 CODEC WITH NO LAG!!! If you cannot already tell, I am very excited and IMPRESSED at both the performance and value of this thing. I cannot believe I was thinking about returning this!! I also have the 500GB T5, and lemme tell ya, the T7 is almost TWICE as fast in sequential processes. Basically, BUY THIS!! Hopefully this helps out anyone on the fence

    Amazing External Drive

    It was super quick to set up for both me and a friend who isn't the most tech-savvy. I am using one of these to run my iOS on a 27" iMac (the computer's internal drive is an HDD, which was making it incredibly slow to start), and while it did take a little time to convert it to the correct format for that, it has been working like a dream ever since.

    This is the only brand and model that I buy. I currently have two of these (Gray & Blue). For me, one backup is not enough, there should be two copies, incase I need to re-format one SSD.

    Works as it should. This was an upgrade after a very old one. I like how small and sleek it is, I was expecting it to be large and it’s not. Lots of storage and cost effective for the amount of storage.

    I use multiple SSD for mobile photography post-process works. Samsung T7 USB 3.2 Gen SSD is very reliable for graphic work with your PC or Laptop. It is very compact and maintains a cool temperature most of the time when you are working. I personally feel this is much better than the Lacie Porche design products that I used before.

    I needed a newer solution that was faster than my old external drive. I've had this one for some time now. The transfers are quick and the case that was included makes for easy transport. My normal usage is for personal files and gaming. Its compatible with my PC, tablet, and Steam Deck.

    My PS4 only has 500gb, which COD uses every bit of. I had an old external HD that I had fortnite installed on, but I would load into games late and have lots of issues with the graphics of the game not loading fast enough. Getting this SSD fixed that, I load into games much faster and have no issues with lag.

    This is a nice little drive that fits into the palm of your hand. I bought this product because I needed to update the operating system on my laptop but I didn't have enough available drive space. Backup data transfer from my laptop to the drive was quick and easy. OS update was not as quick but it was easy thanks to this SSD.
