    I needed this so bad. It’s like bullet proof. I never worry about losing anything I save on it. It was needed for my photography business.

    Should of gone with a barracuda but it’s done it’s job for now. High demanding games definitely get booted. Still a good buy for other pc and Mac related stuff.

    Xbox S expansion

    I purchased this so that I could keep the older games on the drive vs. having to delete games from my Xbox Series S all the time. The transfer rates between the drive and Xbox Series S are not SSD fast, but I'd rather transfer from the T7 to the Series S instead of downloading each time (I only have cable internet - gig internet may make this a moot point). This was on sale so it was a better deal than springing for the current Xbox Series 1TB hard drive for more than double the price. Very solid housing for the drive.

    Very fast transfer of ~ 300 GB of video files. Probable because its my first experience with USB 3.2. Seems sturdy and well built.

    I was hoping to get 1 gb throughput. It starts out that way and then slows down to half or less. Wish I could figure out why. It was advertised as fastest available.

    Bought this to install PS4 games on the PS5. It does the job and load times are still quick. Just remember to change default install location to save from moving the games over.

    I was somewhat skeptical about this external SSD because my initial intentions were to use it as a backup data option, However this drive amaze me with both seek and reference times and was a cakewalk to calibrate and install with my MacBook Pro. Highly recommend this Samsung SSD T7.

    I picked this up to go with my ps5 and I am not disappointed. It works beautifully with the ps5 in case your wondering. Once you have it setup properly, the ps4 games will automatically go to this external ssd and you don't have to worry about transferring the files over.

    External storage was my ideal way of handling transferred files from my old tower pc without using up so much space on my next Chromebook laptop. This was the only one that matched up to Chromebook.
