This little 2TB External SSD is great! It works as intend and is relatively transferring large files over USB A. However it is mind-blowingly quick when transferring files over USB C. Although this is a great external SSD the price for this is just absurd and there are cheaper options out there for someone who is on a budget.

Nice, small, fast, and got it on sale for $99 (Black Friday 2023). May never see that price again, but if I do, I'm buying four more! Right now, at $169, it's too expensive!
Small and fast beats my old clunky external hard d

Unbelievably small and lightweight. Seems pretty fast. Having two different USB cords is a plus as my MacBook is pretty old. I would recommend this very portable hard drive. I just wish solid state wasn’t so expensive.

Using this as an external SSD for my 2020 MacBook Pro. I have the 2TB version, I partitioned 1TB for a backup drive, and I use the other 1TB for other things, and it’s partitioned in exFAT so I can use it with Mac or Windows. This SSD is great, it is fast, reliable, and does everything I need it to. I have another of these SSD’s that I use on my PS5, and the speed appears to be the same whether I am playing a PS5 game in the internal hard drive or playing a PS4 game from this external SSD. It’s a bit pricey, but not too bad, and it’s expected, since quality made products are often expensive. For what I use this for it is great, I am sure there are other applications that it probably wouldn’t be great for, but I am using one for general computer storage and 1 for gaming, and both do exactly what I need them to do.

This drive lives up to its advertisement. It's the same size as a credit card but only thicker. It's lightening fast. Even on my 10 year old desktop I tested it and using the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C to C cable (I have a PCIe Type C USB Card installed) the read/write constantly exceeds 725mbps. Using the USB 3 connection it consistently tested at 425 mbps. Could not be happier.
One side note. The cables that come with it are very short, maybe 6 to 8 inches. I purchased a 3ft USB Type C to C cable. Be sure it is rated at "10Gbps" to get the highest speeds. I didn't pay attention to the speed when I bought my cable and got one rated at 480mbps and had to exchange it. Also, if you want to maintain the higher speeds only use cables 3 feet or shorter. Based upon research, once you get a longer cable the speed starts to slow down considerably.

Overall I’m very happy with the drive and use it every day to store and access files. If you are on the fence just buy it. You won’t be disappointed. Easily slips into a pocket or backpack. It was easily recognized by my Windows 10 PC and worked perfectly in copying/moving numerous files.

These work perfectly out of the box to transfer PS4 games externally if you need space for your PS5. Load and transfer times are fast. It's super small and compact, relative to the size of a credit card.

So far I've downloaded about 60,000 pictures from my Nikon D750, and have randomly played back a few of them. The T7 2TB works very quickly in both directions, and the playback into Photoshop is 100% true to the originals. I haven't dropped the T7 yet, but it appears to be pretty bullet proof. It is a bit more expensive than others of the same volume.

I like the portable size of the Samsung -T72TB External USB
It is sturdy and it is perfect to help me store my work. I have been using a previous Samsung SSD for over two years and hasn't failed me yet. Easy to store images and data.

This is invaluable to have. Cant tell you how many times i have carted this around with me to get files back in forth to where i need them. 2 TB works great, can be used as a Time Machine backup, but why GO Raid.
As a Portable drive this is fantastic. 2 TB is the right amount of storage to get anything you could possible image from point a to point b.. I am using this as a Sample Storage for Music studio (AND YES, samples can take up a TB or two easy) but also music score info.. This cuts down on having to carry so much clutter with me.. Simply fits in the pocket and off i go.. When i use it for my IT stuff i can keep just about all the code i need for reference along with ANY MSDN docs and installs. Perfect companion for on the go.

This hard drive is super fast and a great deal! Amazing how much storage you get from something thats smaller than my wallet. I know this hard drive could potentially fail in the future but with no moving parts (SSD), its way more reliable than the hard drives we all used just a few years ago.

Fantastic small 2TB external SSD Drive, I have so many tv shows and movies downloaded on here and it’s great to carry them wherever I go. The speed is super fast and I know people complain how hot it can get but I only noticed that while transferring my files from my PC to the drive. But it hasn’t got hot while it’s plugged into my tv watching movies and TV shows. I do check it once in a while to make sure and it’s nice and cool

Works great as extended storage for Playstation systems. On PS4, it's recognized right away and ready to use after formatting to the system, and games loaded onto the T7 load quickly and run smoothly.
If you intend to use it only with PS4, you can save some money by getting the T5 instead, as the 3.0 USB ports on PS4 are unable to allow the T7 to reach its top transfer speeds. But if you intend to use the external ssd with the PS5, then the T7 is more worthwhile because that system can support the top transfer speeds through USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection. Tests I found online show that PS4 games stored on the T7 with PS5 load and perform just as well as when those games are stored on the system's internal storage. A worthwhile investment to play and preserve your PS4 games for the new gen.

Works great with my Xbox Series X. Much smaller than a spinning portable drive and since it's ssd, it sits on top of the Xbox with no problem with heat. Oh, pretty fast too.

Small, fast, but a bit pricey... This SSD works as it should, quickly and efficiently. The prices are still high for these, but they are coming down. If you need it - buy it!

Got this to use for editing 4K video projects from an external hard drive, and it does not disappoint. Haven’t had any issues editing directly from this drive using DaVinci Resolve (and from what I’ve read online this shouldn’t be an issue, even on high bitrate video files). If you need fast storage in a tiny package, this is the drive for you. Absolutely worth the money.
I would recommend this to a friend

This drive works great. It is fast and smaller than I expected. Very pleased with it. I am using it to install games from Steam and Epic, and switching between my desktop and laptop to play.

This Samsung T7 external USB SSD drive has a very fast transfer rate to my Mac. It has just enough storage capacity for when I’m on the go recording video or taking pictures.

I am a studio engineer who needs plenty of space for files while at the same time the need to access them fast for pro software. This does the job plus more. Great product. Small and sleek.

If you need a reliable and fast external SSD, you can't go wrong with this model. As a design professional, I have extensive storage needs and I've tried a few different models.
In my opinion, the Samsung T7 offers the best value for the price and highly recommmend. Its fast and reliable, which are the most important attributes
