Customer Ratings & Reviews

Unit is small, solid feeling, made of aluminum. In typical Samsung fashion the speeds are exactly as advertised. Easily sustains reads and writes above 1GB/s Cable goes in easy, but isn't loose. Unit is small and easy to misplace. You really can't go wrong with a Samsung SSD

Absolutely love this. So far it’s holding 7 of my games. Didn’t shut down like the others after adding just one game

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.

Best storage device. Handy and large file holding capacity especially when you are overwhelmed with family pictures on your phone this gives you a big time relief. It even got dropped several times but works perfectly! Price is very affordable too!!

Great fast back up SSD Reliable ( had 10 of them for over 5 years now without any issues )

Big things come in little packages. Needed a decent portable storage and this works perfectly.

I have several of these and have been using them for years. Small, fast, reliable. Indispensable.

I’m a wedding/social media marketing videographer and I always need external SSD’s to back up all of my footage and run my projects on. I always go with these guys, absolutely love them. The one thing I would keep in mind is you need to make sure they are formatted correctly for the type of computer you are using them for, (Mac/Windows). But that process is also very simple.

Great solid state portable hard drive . I use it for storing photos and videos .with today’s cameras taking such high megapixel images, why eat up storage on your computer .

Love the functionality of a super fast SSD Its worked flawlessly since I purchased it. Ive been saving all my photos on it and its not even 1/2 full so far. Great buy if your computer didn't come with enough storage.

I’ve been using this Samsung T7 2TB portable SSD for several months now, and it’s been absolutely excellent. Setup was super simple just plug in and it works right away on both my laptop and desktop. The transfer speeds are impressively fast, and large photo and video files move in seconds instead of minutes, which has been a huge time-saver for my files.

Perfect for moving files from an older laptop to a new one. Comes with USB A-C and USB C-C cables, which is very convenient. Amazing how small it is for such huge storage capacity.

This is the best hard drive I bought this year. It is super fast and holds a lot of movies & tv shows

My favorite external hard drives! Small and easy to transport when I'm on the go, and I've dropped a few of them and they've all survived the drop too (though I don't recommend dropping them, lol). I use them to store high-res JPEGs and RAW images and they work great in combination with my Macbook Pro.

Best external drive I’ve bought. Smaller than I thought, yet very powerful. Speaking of storage, it can store up to 2TB digitally. And physically, I can fit all that in my pocket.

Hands down one of the best and fastest SSD you can use as an external drive for storing ps4 games on your ps5! it's really small and can be placed anywhere. Plugged right at the back of my PS5, transferred all the games at really fast speed. Freed up main drive for ps5 for actual ps5 games.

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.

I was looking for extra storage to place old files and photos off my computer. I was so had a lot of photos I wanted to keep. This 1 terabyte helps me do just that! It’s small and can be stored anywhere. Great job Best Buy!

You have a Tesla and still running that original thumb drive? Upgrade to this , Less issues and more storage works flawlessly
