Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really great quality with fantastic read and write speed. This allows me to make my macbook with 500gb ssd usable. I have it attached to the back of my monitor for constant storage. I liked it so much I bought 2.

I have a 2017 iMac 5K and about 2 weeks ago I got this ssd its fast and everything worked great I installed MacOS Ventura on it made it my boot drive and that was golden I got iCloud Photos on the photos app but it crashed constantly so I was like"ok maybe I need to update the firmware on the ssd"so I installed Samsung magician and then got a kernel panic because little that I knew apparently Samsung magician isn't optimized well for Mac. I was like"ok I'll back up my ssd to my server I have"so I apparently my iMac without the ssd plugged in and when the iMac booted up i copied my stuff to my server and I noticed the ssd transfer speed was vary slow so I opened up black magic speediest and this is my speed(see picture below)I am NOT HAPPY I will NEVER buy a Samsung ssd again, i will be returning this shortly0

Really great product. I love the design. Very sleek. Slim has some weight to it does what it supposed to do and has enough memory to store all the data I need it to. Great product. Would buy again!

The T7 is better than the T5 ... Apple OS seems to recognized it easier ... and it's faster too! Have 4 of these 2TB units for my Photography work. Recommend!!!

Even though it is a little bigger than the old one I have it is significantly thinner. Fast transfers and the solid state makes it so I don't worry asmuch when they get little knocks like my old hard drives.

Good write/read speed, decent price point for what it is, and it comes with a usb c-a cable, as well as a c-c cable

It work perfectly with my iphone 15 pro max im able to record pro res log footage and color grade amazing short movies.

Very happy with this drive. It’s sharp looking, performs, and is lightweight.

Very small and compact and have had zero issues using to hold videos and pictures from my MacBook

Fast transfer was recommended by one of the sales associate and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Lots of storage space too.

They had the portable hard drives I needed, when I needed them. A+

i like this product bc it helped expand my storage on my xbox.

It’s a very fast Ssd but I think the security feature on this Ssd crashes the Ssd to fail. Every time I connect it, enter my password it disconnects and say reconnect it. I have personal data on here that I can’t get off. I would not purchase again… only because I just got it and it crashed on a fast gaming computer. Used for storage files

I have 2TB T7 connected to my iMac. It gets too hot to touch once in a while as some of the other reviewers mentioned. I noticed a white spot on the USB cable and a white stain under the SSD on my desk. looks like it leaked some kind of white glue or wax. SSD is less that 1 year old. Samsung will not send a replacement unless I send my SSD first (even with a CC hold for the whole amount). They are forcing customers to buy more storage to backup data while faulty SSD is sent for a repair.

This is by far the easiest recommendation i have ever had to make because of how awesome the drive is. The obvious cool thing about this drive is the size. Its small and thin and can even fit in my wallet if I wanted to because it has the length and width profile of a credit card. Granted, it is a little wider than its predecessor the T5 but the difference does not affect its portability. Note that it is also thinner than the T5.Even along with the included cables it fits into any pocket without being conspicuous. This makes it very easy to travel with and use on the go. The include cables are a huge plus for me because it helps the drive deliver on performance. True almost everything is USB C now and most people have cables they can use with it, but I found that using the included cables gives a slight boost in performance. The performance of this drive is amazing. Its read and write times were almost twice as fast as the T5 which was already plenty fast. The software utility included is intuitive and easy to use. It allows for either a password or a pin which also adds to its ease of use and portability. Whether I am connected to my phone, tablet or computer it is comforting to know that my files are secure and cannot be altered without my permission. The price is also very reasonable considering the protection you get. i got the 2TB which might be overkill for most but it comes in 500GB and 1TB also. It has been worth the investment for me because I know that even if I misplace it, my intellectual property and personal items will still be protected since it will only open as a read-only drive without the password. To sum up, its sleek, fast and secure and also a must have for anyone with any digital information to protect.

Design: The T7 that I tested is the 2TB model. It is packed into a small metal body that is not much bigger than a standard USB flash drive in length and thickness. It has one USB-C port and feels very solidly built. It feels like it can take a lot of knocking around without suffering any ill effects. Ease of Use: The T7 is plug and play with my computer and PS4 console, just use the included cables for USB-C or USB 3.0 connection and you need do nothing more. No driver needed to be installed or downloaded for it to work on my Windows PC or PS4 console. It is very easy to use. PC Performance: I connected the T7 to my PC via the included USB-C cable and the drive was detected instantly on my Windows 10 computer. It came with a program on the drive that you can install to get firmware updates along with other management tools such as password protection and so on. I tested the speed by moving files of all sizes around and even GBs of files instantly from my internal SSD to this drive. It feels like you are working with an internal SSD or NVME which is amazing for an external drive. This is a great addition to any computer whether you need it to expand your storage, or maybe play games from it or to transfer files between machines as well. PS4 Performance: I connected the T7 to my PS4 via the included USB-C to USB-A cable and once I plugged it into the PS4 USB 3.0 port using this cable ti was detected immediately. The PS4 told me I had to format the hard drive in order to use it on there. It takes just pressing a a button on the controller and a few moments later it was now a part of the PS4 and called "extended storage." After that all new games you install will be installed on the T7 SSD and you can move games from your internal drive to the SSD as well. I tested one game by first loading it up from the internal PS4 hard drive and then moved the game over to the T& and loaded the game up and it booted up much quicker form the T7 SSD. So this is a great expansion to your console storage capacity and also boost performance of your games greatly when used in conjunction with a video game console. Speed: This device was on par with or faster than my computer's internal SATA SSD drives for the tests I did with it and much faster than my console's RPM drives. The only thing faster than this is an internal NVME drive and that is not portable or as convenient as this T7 is. It is a great addition to any device you plan to use it with. Conclusion: I see this SSD drive as the perfect expansion to any computer or gaming console. You get a huge boost in capacity with the 2TB version combined with speeds that feel like you are using an internal high speed SSD device. You cannot ask for more form an external hard drive right now. It is small in size, but big in capacity and performance.

Amazingly fast, light and compact. A great replacement for any older USB external drives, like going from a 1990 Chevy Citation to a 2022 Tesla. Insanely fast on a MacBook Pro. This is the third purchase of this item for clients to either upgrade their old drives or for local Time Machine backups. Highly recommend. Great price too!

i'm guessing the new T9 series is faster, but this is my 2nd one of the T7 series and, like the first, it is fast, extremely convenient (small/thin/light), has a quality solid steel feel, and comes well packaged with 2 USB cables. Great piece of gear. Came formatted ex-Fat and that is what I needed - transfers seamlessly between Windows PC and Mac and can handle very large files.

Great external fast storage option for anything. T7 only improves upon the T5. Possibly my 5th now, have several T5's and 1 other T7. I tried the sandisk first before buying this last t7, but within a week it had unreadable errors/bad sectors, and my macbook would only allow read only. Really wierd, and certain its a one off. But went back to Best Buy and returned it for the samsung. Wanted to try something new, Samsungs have impressed and i have a bunch, lesson learned, stay with tried and true. Read/write speeds are fast. Gets warm, sometimes really warm, when workiing off of it for hours. Likely throttles a bit, but havent noticed. Works well for dumping video vides from an event, and then working off them (along with scratch drive) in FFP or Premiere Pro. Dont notice a difference in anything between local SSD and this external. $250 isnt cheap, but 250 for 2tb of fastish ssd, is going rate for drive itself, let along the enclosure and controller this usit gives. A+, have already and likely will, continue to buy.
