Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sleek and small size and good capacity for me to backup my photos and videos. And reasonably good speed for data transfer.

Let's start with the obvious, this Samsung SSD is small - it's smaller and even thinner than my wallet. If you had told me a few years back that I would no longer need to carry my brick SSD's I'd thought that you'd be pulling my chain. I'm always super impressed with how Samsung designed the new SSD series - making it not only super portable but also sleek in color. I already own a ton of gray/black items so the red really popped and helped me locate my SSD in a pinch. The T7 is also super easy to use, just plug in and go. It comes with two cables: USB C to USB C, and USB C to A, incase you have the older computers. You have the ability to set a password incase you are traveling with it using Samsung's software, which might be the only downside if you're planning on using it across several devices. But that's just a minor inconvenience. The connection is instant and smooth - especially across different devices. I usually use mine between my iPad Pro and Macbook pro when uploading and downloading files. Depending on your file size and type, transferring files can take seconds or minutes, no longer is it taking me hours just to move a few heavier files. With school starting this month, I cannot recommend the T7 enough to students and teachers. I'd give this a A+.

Works well with Mac Book Pro. Old laptop had USB-A; new one has USB-C. Worked well with both -- it includes both cables. The speed is sensational compared to a thumb drive. There may be cheaper options out there, but this one works great for me. It's about the size of a stack of 5 credit cards. Only issue -- it gets quite hot. This may be as designed, but just be aware where you place it when in use.

I am beyond pleased with this external portable SSD. I purchased this for my Playstation 5 as an external drive. I had a 4TB portable hard drive that kept losing connection with the Playstation. I decided to try this Samsung 2TB and what a great experiment. Not only does the drive work great but the Playstation always recognizes it. More than happy to give up 2TBs for a constant connection. Because of how great this has been, I have replaced my portable backup hard drives with Samsung and other SSD devices. Nothing like them and they are super fast; backing up a computer is a breeze.

I appreciate Samsung’s 4TB portable SSD for its compact design and impressive speed. My previous 1TB Samsung drive has performed flawlessly for over three years. However, I’ve encountered an issue with the bundled Magician software—it won’t run on my MacBook Air (Tahoe 26.1). Is this a known compatibility problem?

**5-Star Review for Samsung T7 1TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD** I recently purchased the Samsung T7 1TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD, and I couldn't be more impressed! Here are a few reasons why I’m giving it a five-star rating: 1. **Incredible Speed**: With read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and write speeds of 1000 MB/s, transferring large files has never been faster. It significantly cuts down the time I used to spend waiting for backups and file transfers. 2. **Compact and Durable Design**: The sleek, lightweight design makes it easy to carry around in my bag. Plus, the aluminum body feels sturdy and is resistant to shocks, which gives me peace of mind when I'm on the go. 3. **User-friendly Setup**: Setting up the T7 was a breeze. It was recognized instantly by both my Windows and Mac systems, and I didn't need to deal with any complicated installations or formatting. 4. **Security Features**: I appreciate the built-in password protection and AES 256-bit encryption. It adds an extra layer of security for my sensitive data, which is essential in today’s digital world. 5. **Versatile Compatibility**: The T7 works seamlessly across various devices, including PCs, Macs, and even gaming consoles. It’s perfect for storing games, media, and important files without worrying about running out of space. Overall, the Samsung T7 1TB External SSD is a fantastic investment for anyone looking for speed, portability, and reliability. Highly recommended!

The Samsung T7 is a great portable storage solution that is tiny, super fast, lightweight and most of all secure. But it isn't a drive that everyone can use; you have to have a USB 3.2 version port as well as the corresponding connector to really take advantage of the high speed transfer rates. I am lucky because I recently upgraded my desktop to a new Dell PC (which I bought from BB of course!) that included both 3.2 support and the high speed port connection on the front. You need to check your device(s) to make sure that you can use this, otherwise it would make more sense - both functionally and financially - to buy one of Samsung's previous versions. However, if you have the ports the transfer speeds are incredible. And it's hard to see from product pics just how tiny and compact this drive really is, so I included some pics with everyday common objects to provide a sense of scale. The size and durable case makes this easy to throw in a briefcase, purse or backpack. Or for that matter your pocket! And with the included and easy to use build in encryption, you know that your data is safe; something to consider if you carry sensitive data between locations. It's lighter than most phones and because it is a solid state drive, you don't have to worry about dropping it. Pretty impressive, especially for the price. The only reason I gave it a good rating instead of an excellent one is that if you don't have 3.2 ports, you'll be paying more for a drive that will only provide average performance speeds.

Fast, small, portable, great capacity. The T series drives are awesome.

Slim, small and fat this SSD is a very practical storage for large files. I use it for my photographs, and the transfering is very fast. The encryption is very important for me, to keep safe all y files, and the setup of the password is easy as also, opening the disk to read the files.

Thus far the device is working correctly. Had a couple “issues” initially that have limited functionality for me ( at least the plans I had anyway). The software is hat comes with the drive only works partially with Apple iOS. I have a brand new Mac, but the item limits what I can do. I store Time Machine backups but can’t store anything else without partitioning. But my Mac recommends a minimum 1TB drive for backups… that’s the size of the drive I bought, can’t partition it. Love the small size (although it gets a bit warm when using) and would buy again or recommend to someone. Just a bigger capacity drive.

So far this portable SSD has been great. My files open really fast. It's small and comes with 2 types of connection cables which I appreciate. Hopefully I won't have to buy another one since its 4TB but if I did because I need extra storage I'll get this one again!

I bought the 2TB Samsung SSD for my film projects and it has been a game changer. The transfer speeds are incredibly fast and I can move hours of 4K footage in minutes. It is small, lightweight, and easy to carry around. I have used other brands before but Samsung drives always feel the most reliable. Definitely worth the price, especially for anyone handling large media files.

This thing is amazing. Small enough to fit in your pocket, holds 4TB of data from movies, music, files and more! I bought it because I purchased a new laptop and wanted to keep my files from the old computer. I transferred 800MB to this drive and still have plenty of room. With it being a solid state drive it was done in very little time!

I’m very pleased with this purchase. The Samsung T7 works great and delivers fast, reliable performance. It was easy to set up, and the transfer speed is impressive. I also like the sleek and compact design—it’s perfect for carrying around. Overall, I’m happy with the quality and highly recommend it!

Portable, very fast transfer, and SSD hard drive. Samsung Magician app that comes with it is weird, though it doesn't affect the use of the hard drive.

Excellent unit. Connects easily to all my devices including Android phones, tablets, desktop Windows computers, and my laptop. Use it to transfer large video and audio digital content between them all. Speeds are very good. Device is small and easy to transport. Highly recommended.

Very compact! Has fast transfer. Everything that my business needed to back up my business pc.

I bought this added storage for an older hp lapton but now doubles my current laptops storage. A great price and much smaller than earlier backup drives.

Compact, lightwieght size and very fast downloading speeds. Very easy to use. Definetly recommend

Using the T7 4TB external USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSdD for a back up of my 4k and 1080 p home videos and computer stuff. Woks Great but I'm awere that you have to occasionally use it or it could loose data. So I get it out once a month to keep it active. Work fine and great speed,
