    Samsung external storage never fails. Using it for my Tesla and works flawlessly. And using one for my on the go external storage for my photos. Both just simply work. Definitely a must have.

    I bought this to allow more storage of sentry mode and dash cam recordings for my Tesla Model 3. I plugged it in with the included usb cord from Samsung into the port in the glovebox. Tesla software recognized and formatted it without issue. Simple upgrade.

    I picked up a 1TB variant of the Samsung T7 as my "go to" external storage for all my DNG files for my Lightroom Classic files. It goes with me every time I import directly from my SD card and straight to my T7 instead of importing it into my internal SSD on my 14" MacBook Pro.

    Faster, and does not get nearly as warm as my previous T5 unit. Gifted my 2T T5 to my daughter but still have a couple of 1T T5 units and a 256G T5 unit in my vehicle for dash cam.

    Great small drive. WITH A ACTIVITY LIGHT. I was using sandisk and WD drives without indicator lights and this drive is a breath of fresh air. Now I can tell if there is life in a drive or not. Also I love aluminum construction for the better thermals.

    My Samsung T27 drive performs as I expected; no major problems. The only issue I have is that on my system (Windows 10), if I use the USB3 cable the data transfer to the drive is very slow and sometimes hangs (could be my system though that particular USB3 port works OK with other peripherals). Instead, I use the supplied USB-C cable and that works flawlessly. If not for this anomaly I would give it 5 stars.

    A lot smaller than i was expecting. The speeds are solid when using the right ports. Heats up pretty quickly but not a problem if you can keep it in a cool area.

    Never had a head drive like this, the speed is quicker then a blink of an eye OT of a lightning strike. I copied close to 1 terabyte of music and music videos. The total time was less then 2 hrs to copy everything. I definitely would refer this hard drive. People would be foolish not to buy one or two.
