    Samsung - T7 1TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable Solid State Drive with Hardware Encryption This Samsung External Solid State Drive (SSD) has it all. It’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and is slim enough (about half as thick as a flash drive) that you could put it in your shirt pocket and barely see a bulge. And, despite its small size, it has a very generous 1TB of storage space. For those not familiar with solid state drives, they have no moving parts, so they are less susceptive to jolts, drops, shocks, and wear and tear. And since they have no moving parts, they run both quieter and cooler than traditional hard drives. Finally, SSDs are blazingly fast when compared to traditional hard drives. A couple of nice touches with this sleek Samsung SSD are the inclusion of both USB C to C and USB C to A cables for maximum flexibility in connectivity and a blinking blue light to indicate activity, something that’s sadly missing from some other SSD drives. This drive comes with installable encryption software for Windows, Mac and Android that allows you to password protect your data from prying eyes, or in case you should ever lose the drive. Once you’ve installed the software of your choice and connected the drive to your computer, you’ll be amazed at the speed of this small but powerful device. When backing up files, I got burst speeds over 100MB/s. Your mileage may vary, as did mine, depending on the connection and device being backed up. Suffice it to say, it’s really fast. Hopefully at some point, SSDs will come down in price. But in the meantime, IMO, this device is certainly worth the premium price.

    It’s a very fast Ssd but I think the security feature on this Ssd crashes the Ssd to fail. Every time I connect it, enter my password it disconnects and say reconnect it. I have personal data on here that I can’t get off. I would not purchase again… only because I just got it and it crashed on a fast gaming computer. Used for storage files

    Every Other of job I get I buy one on these. So I probably have around 10 of them. Does the job. The whole transfer speed well let's just say real world I'm getting around 500 to 600 MB When I transfer files. Not the 1000 they say. I do transfer a lot big 4k Files from my job sites everyday. If you can catch on sale grab them. Yall can check us out on You Tube: All Access Construction. Of course I had to plug us.. :)

    Fast Storage in a Small Package

    The biggest (or should I say smallest) pro to this external hard drive is its size. It barely takes up any space at all. When I first opened the box I was more than surprised as I pulled out the drive. It's roughly the size of a credit card in length and width and not very thick either, coming in at just 5/16 of an inch. You'll have no problem slipping this into a pocket or small slot in a backpack somewhere. Being so small, and an SSD with no moving parts like the old spinner style hard drives, it's also very lightweight. I have several older external hard drives and it can be a chore storing them and moving them around. This takes the term "portable" to a whole other level. Even though its so small and lightweight, it still feels very sturdy and solid. Everything is packaged up in this little case nicely and it still feels like you're getting a very high quality product. It's a simple design with one simple led light to let you know when it's working, and that's really all you need. This drive has just a sole input, a usb-c, but it comes with 2 cords. One to connect it to a standard USB, and one for usb-c. Since I have computers with both, this is an added bonus allowing me to use it with my newer usb-c only computers out of the box without adapters. As for functionality, it performs like a hard drive should. It's an SSD, so it makes absolutely no noise at all. It doesn't get very hot either, even as I was putting it through its paces transferring half a TB of data it barely heated up at all. And best of all, it's fast. It also works right out of the box. I plugged it in to my laptop, and it popped right up and I was able to transfer data right away. But if you need to manage your drive as well as password protect it, all the software to do so is already available there inside the drive when you first plug it in, no need to go online searching for it. I do a lot of video creation and editing and depend on external hard drives because of all the data videos use up. Writing and deleting video data goes by significantly smoother and faster now compared to my old external hard drives. Reading is also really fast, I find just jumping around video as I'm editing comes with hardly any delay like my old drives had. Having used this now for a few days, I don't see how I can go back to my old external drives, and in fact won't be. I honestly didn't think I could be as excited over a simple hard drive as I am with this one, and couldn't be happier with it.
