    Good Portable Solid State Drive

    I bought this unit because I wanted a portable Solid State Drive that I can use with my laptop. I wanted to plug it in and leave it plugged all the time for easy access to the extra storage It provides. I did not want a backup only drive that cannot be left plugged in at all times. Most backup drives failed after extended use. Let’s see how this one work after a few months. It is a pricey hard drive but for now I’m very pleased with the quality of this unit. It is easy to use. Just plug it in and it works. The encrypted login is a nice feature. So far this unit is great and working just fine.

    So I upgraded my hardware and unfortunately adding an internal SSD was not possible in my iMAC, but I read the read/write speeds of this hardware, and the iMac has 2 USBC/Thunderbolt ports on it. Let me tell you this thing screams! I use this as a data drive for Windows on Bootcamp, and I don't have to wait for it, nor does the computer. Downloading large amount of files and games to it actually now bottle necks on my ISP at 500 MBPS. Apps, Games and items load without hesitation and without issues! I'd highly recommend if you are looking for an SSD and have the USB ports to use!

    Performs exactly as stated. Extremely durable device. Could literally save your data then crack open a beer with this beast if that's your thing. Crush a walnut idk. It is that tough imo. User friendly to the T. Drop and drag. Sleek appearance. Crisp. Buy it...look no further!!!

    Tiny, portable, and speedy external drive

    Setup is fast and easy. The T7 2TB is well-suited for automated, scheduled backups of one's desktop or laptop. (I'm currently using Macrium Reflect 7 software, which just completed a nightly incremental backup. Process is so quick that I intend to use nightly full backups.) Read and write speeds are very decent--as long as you are connecting with quality USB 3.1 gen 2 cables. Samsung-supplied cables work well, albeit are very short. Please avoid using cheap USB 2.0 bargain-basement cables. They will pass data at fractional speeds and hugely compromise performance.

    Very compact, easy to use and very fast if used with a computer having the matching usb speed rate as the drive. The 4 stars is because at some points the transfer speed is a little slower but only in some instances almost rarely.

    Great fast ssd for being very small in size. Currently using it as external storage on a ps4. Travel times are noticeably shorter. Highly recommend.
