Fast and easy, good access high capacity great vale

I don't trust, don't like, and won't use any kind of "cloud" storage, as your data and info are not stored in a cloud, but on a physical server somewhere that someone in the know can get access to. Yes there is encryption etc. I don't trust it. Since I don't, I store and back up everything I have on physical flashdrives or SSD drives. Samsung have always been great for me, and these are no different. Some other SSDs get very hot, but not Samsung. They always do what they are supposed to do. Have never had any problems, and on sale are a great value.

This drive has worked flawlessly since I connected it. The transfer speed is very fast.

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.

Super fast ans small factor. I have 2TB version to edit 4k/60 and 30 videos off disk without using Proxies in DaVinci and it handles it really well. If you have new Mac M4 or a PC that has the newer USB standard then get the new faster version that is 2000MB/s because this one is only 1050Mb/s, my M2 Pro Max does not have the new x4 USB so I got this one and I am very happy.

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.

product works as expected; easy to use; value for cost

Very solid external hard drive. Plug and play. excellent for storing videos and pictures. Solid state definitely the way to go over conventual hard drives

Great external fast storage option for anything. T7 only improves upon the T5. Possibly my 5th now, have several T5's and 1 other T7. I tried the sandisk first before buying this last t7, but within a week it had unreadable errors/bad sectors, and my macbook would only allow read only. Really wierd, and certain its a one off. But went back to Best Buy and returned it for the samsung. Wanted to try something new, Samsungs have impressed and i have a bunch, lesson learned, stay with tried and true. Read/write speeds are fast. Gets warm, sometimes really warm, when workiing off of it for hours. Likely throttles a bit, but havent noticed. Works well for dumping video vides from an event, and then working off them (along with scratch drive) in FFP or Premiere Pro. Dont notice a difference in anything between local SSD and this external. $250 isnt cheap, but 250 for 2tb of fastish ssd, is going rate for drive itself, let along the enclosure and controller this usit gives. A+, have already and likely will, continue to buy.

My laptop was on its last leg (going on 10 years old) and I needed to back it up ASAP. I have a TON of stuff that I needed to save and this little beauty did it all! Compact and VERY easy to use, worth every penny!

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.

I mean, it’s an SSD. It’s been fast and I love how portable it is. Better than sandisk.

best hardrive for college use. small compact and reliable

I really love this external hard drive! It came with 2 connector cords, one for a regular USB-A and one for a USB-C. It will be really helpful to have options depending on my computer needs. It has worked really well so far, and I love how spacious it is! It is also very small and easy to transport. It fits in the palm of my hand!

Design is perfect and so slick, it's blazing fast, connectivity is great, choice of cables is perfect, it warms up at times but its understandable since I'm a Dj and use it for that, tons of files, material and size is perfect and compact.

This drive is very fast and the build quality is great. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a small portable SSD solution. It's fast enough for me to work on Final Cut Pro projects right from the drive without any performance issues. I had a T5 drive previously and this is even thinner with better performance.

FAST! Easy to set up. Will buy again! Using for video and editing.

Perfect, lightweight external. I'm using it as a backup drive, and it works perfectly.

Love the storage this item gives. Sleek and portable

Super slim, absolutely reliable storage. Completely silent during use. I have used it for several months nowand never encountered an issue.
