    This little thing stores so much storage for it's size its rediculous. I tried transfer stuff from older computers I have, but it obviously is only compatible with newer computers. It does not work for for my intended use, but I will continue to use it for new data.

    I use this drive to backup my main computer mainly for pictures. During the initial backup it got warm but nothing to be worried about. It is fast when hooked up to the correct USB connection.

    Samsung created a slightly thicker than credit card size backup SSD hard drive that ran high speed on phone and computer. It required to install the Samsung SSD version 1 app on Android phone. I wish I had bought 2.

    Got this for my new MacBook, I set up two partions, one for Time Machine and one for storage. Does what it's suppose to. No complaints! It's small, I can just attach it to the front of my MacBook!

    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.

    This is a great SSD and very reliable, I just needed more space than this but if you are only going to be using about 1TB of storage this would work great for you!

    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.
