Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super-fast. Super-reliable. Super-compact. Super-cool. I love these Samsung drives so much I bought two of them. Highly recommend!

What a great 'little' external drive! It's being used to backup a laptop and WOW! What used to take several hours was done in less than 30 minutes! Crazy fast! No bigger than a thick credit card, it's small enough to carry in a pocket or in a drawer! Perfect for my needs!

It's amazing how things get smaller. I have an external hard drive from a few years ago that has a 500gb capacity and this is double that at 1tb but a third of the size. Plus it's Samsung which is always a great product. From TV's to this device Samsung has never let me down. Easy to load, small and convenient- it's great, highly recommended!

Fast, lightweight and reliable. Easy set up, easy to use lots of storage compact

This SSD offers lightning-fast speed, quick boot times, and smooth file transfers, greatly improving overall system performance. Its compact design makes installation easy, and durability ensures long-lasting reliability. With silent operation and efficient power usage, it’s perfect for gaming, work, or everyday use. A solid upgrade for any computer setup.

The Samsung T7 2TB is an excellent choice for backing up my phone. It’s truly plug-and-play—just connect with USB-C and it starts working right away, no hassle. Transfers are fast and smooth, and the 2TB capacity gives me more than enough space for photos, videos, and files. Compact, durable, and simple, it’s perfect for keeping my phone data safe.

The most impressive speed-up for an older system is an SSD drive! They are wicked awesome fast compared to an HD disk. This one is very small. Not much bigger than a short stack of business cards. My only concern is when I run it if it lies on, or worse under, a blanket; it runs pretty dam hot. When you think about how small the chips are way down inside this thing, they have to be really, really much hotter, and heat is not a good thing for semiconductors. Historically semiconductors fail in the first 90-120 days or so. After that, they go on to outlive the person who bought them, so running it between a couple of blankets might be a way to eliminate infant mortality within the warranty period. Works fine. Lasts a long time. Won't rust. Won't bust. It's a product you can trust.

This thing is amazing ! It is small and doesn’t take up much room on my desk and it’s easily connected through my usb port. Plus the storage space is all I could ever need and more for my gaming needs! Definitely would recommend it and if I ever need more storage in the future this is the first thing I would look for.

Is amazing how fast,reliable and thin it is.price is unbeatable!!

For its speed and size, this is really well priced. The capacity is big enough to handle just about any video shoot I've thrown at it. And is fast enough to both be directly recorded to from the camera and then turn around and edit all of that footage straight off of the drive with no lag or stutter at all. At least when plugged into USB 3.1 ports and higher. Its also incredible how light and compact it is despite being able to handle that kind of work load. I really appreciate that both a USB C to A and a C to C cable were included, as more and more thin laptops are coming with only Type C ports this allows compatability with a broad range of devices to work with. Including my smartphone. I guess my only nitpick about it is that the external casing could be a bit more protective. But a hardshell case for these things is not expensive and will likely do a better job of keeping it safe anyway. So thats really not a big deal at all.

Easy to use, durable. Meets my needs for storage with room to spare.

Awesome, super thin and small, smaller than I originally thought it was (in a good way). Plenty of storage at extremely high speeds, and super portable as well as a good price.

Great to have this backup, which is so small / portable. I have had good experiences with Best Buy and this external SSD. I have purchased several for work, to hold all of my editing projects. SSD's just cost more, but am assuming that the price will come down on this. I have had a 2 HDD's give up the ghost recently. That 'death rattle' sound of moving parts clinking against each other is ominous and enough for me to replace all of my externals, not recalling how old they were. It is worth the money now for me, as I spent days trying to recover, alas unsuccessfully.

This is a super fast USB-C based drive that is so thin and light that you can carry it in your pocket easily. I really liked the speed at which data could be transferred in and out of this drive, especially when you connect it to a good SSD and thunderbolt (USB-C) laptop. I have seen good speeds when connected to my Macbook Pro 2019. I also plugged this to my Samsung TV, which recognized this easily and I am able to access the folders and video files on this drive easily. The disk does get hot when you are transferring huge data in or out of it, but other than that it works great. Samsung provides 2 different USB cables (USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A) in case you want to connect to a laptop with USB A type connector. The size lets you carry a lot of things that you don't need to have in your laptop all the time.

I bought the specifically for my PS5 since Sony was very generous with the 800GB they gave to use at launch....lol This adds a full 1TB since there is no "system files" or chunk of storage reserved, which is what the PS5 needs/does with it's internal storage. I was skeptical since the PS5 was having issues with external storages drives with a handful of systems, but wow I must tell you - I'm shocked how FAST this thing performs. No joke, games pulled from this SSD seem to load faster that when they were on the internal drive! I transferred all my PS4 games onto this is a matter of minutes, when it took over an hour to transfer to the PS5 initially! This thing is super small which is nice. I already have too many games I'm in the middle of and couldn't load up some of the PS5 games I bought - now I have plenty of room for awhile and shouldn't have a storage issue. I was iffy about spending this much on PS5 storage but absolutely glad I did! Got it on sale for $160 and would recommend to anyone needing more gaming storage!

Slim and quick SSD, comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-3 cable. The Samsung Magician application (the only thing on the drive when you plug it in) isn't a bad piece of software. I'd recommend reformatting the drive from exFAT to NTFS, but that's a personal preference for partitioning.

Very good product, found it for $80 and has been durable and fast so far. I use it for gaming and I have about the same speeds that in my internal disk, so it's a good deal so far. Plus it comes with the Samsung software that tells you things like temperature.

It’s incredibly small, which is excellent for personal use. The files transfer quicker than other external hard drives. I wish it had more storage capacity, but for the size of this product, it’s pretty good. For a easily portable storage product this more than exceeds expectations.

Fast, lots of storage and very portable and fits anywhere

Purchased a 2TB T7 to replace a 500GB Samsung T5 portable SSD which was running out of space. Runs a bit warmer and is a bit longer but thinner than the T5. It also seems to be a little pickier with USB cables than the T5 (T5 never had an issue with my USB C to A adapter or any cable but my T7 does not work well with it although included cables work fine). Crystal Disk Mark speed test shows speeds as advertised but only for smaller files. For larger files the speeds seem closer to the T5. The T5 and T7 are both fast enough for me and you really can't beat the form factor for convenience of these drives. One thing to be aware of, the Samsung T7 and T7 touch series use new software, which is different from the old version still required to use with the older drives. I now have both the Samsung SSD Software (original for my T5 which I still use) and the new Samsung SSD V1.0 software for my T7 on my desktop PC, Microsoft Surface and all my phones. I am not sure who at Samsung thought this confuaing naming convention or requiring different apps was a good idea but it is confusing, eapecially when I cant read the full name of the app on my phone and have to guess which one I need to launch. If I had known they require me to use two different (but similarly named) apps to unlock the drives, I might have stuck with the T5 for now so I am deducting a star from my review. Hopefully Samsung can make it so all of their drives use the same app.
