    Not much setup other than an app requesting installation on plug-in to my computer, seems to work great, I personally use it for storing pictures and videos of family, but with the amount of space I might keep some games on the bench for quick install if I ever want them.

    This is my first Samsung external USB-C SSD and so far it's been performing well, running Unreal Engine 5 games out of it via a USB-C 3.1 port on my desktop gaming rig. Fits 2025 HP Omen 35L GT16-0344 with Ryzen 7 8700F paired to a RTX 5060 Ti / 16 GB via a USB-C 3.1 port.

    Review - Samsung T7 4TB External USB 3.2 HD

    The Samsung T7 4TB External USB 3.2 Portable hard drive is both compact and durable. It seemed an excellent choice for use as a backup drive for my ancient 2012 white MacBook, which I primarily use for writing. It's important to own a solid backup drive so as to avoid information loss, and better still, I was fortunate to get it at a sale price

    Love these SSDs! I've been using them for a couple of years now and only have great things to say about them. I use them for video editing when I'm traveling and they work great. The read and write speeds allow 4k footage to be edited pretty easily. They're also lightweight and don't take up a lot of space.

    I bought this to back up my Macbook using Time Machine. Set-up was smooth and so far it seems to be working well. I appreciate that cables for both USB-C and USB-A are included, and I'm impressed with how compact the drive is. (The photo shows it next to my airpods case for comparison.)

    So far so good with this storage device. I use it to make backups of my MacBook using Time Machine. It works great for this purpose. I have not had any issues with it yet. I like that it is small and easy to use. I would say that the price of this SSD is pretty good. Not too expensive. Overall, I would recommend it.

    I'm upgrading 15 year-old external harddisk. This is exactly what I was looking for. It is light/small portable device and easy to carry around in your pocket. It also comes with an encryption software so you can easily create a password to protect your files.

    Has been tossed around in my backpack quite a bit and now I don't have to worry as much as my old spinning external drive I used to carry around. Transfer speeds are amazing! Well worth it and great value!

    Portability is your main reason

    Size is the main reason to get this. Portability at this capacity is a no-brainer for an avid photographer/videographer on the go. I paid about the same amount for this same version, but half the capacity (1TB) a few years ago.

    NEVER AN ISSUE

    I have used Samsung T5 and T7 and they both work for me without issue. I’m a filmmaker, my shop is MAC based and I use a lot of Blackmagic Design cameras, URSA Minis, Pocket Cinema Cameras and other BM gear. As I said at the top my use of the T7 with any of my cameras has been great and without issue. I format them, connect them via the provided cable and it provides me with uninterrupted recording. I have read many of the complaints about the incompatibility of the T7 with Blackmagic cameras but this has not been my experience. I do however recall being onset and noticed a PA having issues with the T5/7 not connecting with the camera and the issue was they were using a low grade USB-C cable. The moment I gave him a better cable the matter was resolved. Anyway I hope this helps someone.

    Phenomenal Fast SSD - Use for TimeMachine

    I initially bought this SSD as a backup for my TimeMachine on my Mac. However, I’ve also been able to use it for my Logic projects. A few weeks ago, I purchased a new Mac, and this SSD left me in awe. It transferred all my old Mac’s data to my new one in about 15 to 25 minutes. Even the Apple Genius specialist was impressed. I highly recommend this product. If you’re concerned about the color, it blends seamlessly with the Space Black Mac color.
