Customers are saying

Customers commend the T7 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption for its excellent performance, convenient portability, and ample storage capacity. Many appreciate its compact size. While some users noted that the drive can get warm during data transfers, and that the price point may be high for some, the positive feedback on performance and storage outweighs these concerns.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    The product seems fine. I'm a bit disappointed with the fact that less than 30 days after purchase it drops $10 in price. I request a price match and it's "after the 15 day return period". Maybe I'll look at another business in the future when I need to purchase tech products.
