I bought the 2TB Samsung SSD for my film projects and it has been a game changer. The transfer speeds are incredibly fast and I can move hours of 4K footage in minutes. It is small, lightweight, and easy to carry around. I have used other brands before but Samsung drives always feel the most reliable. Definitely worth the price, especially for anyone handling large media files.

This amazing unit, easily took all 2 TB of videos we put on it, and then proceeded to accidentally get placed in the washer with a whole load!!! EEK! After the wash cycle was completed it made its way in the dryer for a full cycle…. Once the hard drive was nice and clean we plugged it in to hopefully view our current uploads. She fited right up and works perfectly. :). I dont care what you say about Samsung, THIS BABY Is a work of art.

Great little back up SSD, very fast, very small and very easy to use. You really cannot beat the price and for Samsung quality it is a great deal. I connected the drive to my Macintosh lap top computer, configured it for a Mac and did my first back up in under ten minutes. BTW I did not expect it but a cable was included (really two cables a USB A to C and a USB C to USB c which is the one I used.

So far this drive has been great. Very fast and no issues whatsoever. I got it to replace two failing drives and I was able to recover and this guy ate all that data up without any issues.

T7 T2B isn’t just fast and reliable—it’s genuinely portable and ready for whatever you throw at it. If you want storage that keeps up with you, this is the one to beat. Big files move over in seconds—yes, seconds! Forget those slow, agonizing transfers; with the T7 T2B you’ll be done before your coffee cools off. Setup is a breeze, too—just plug it in and go, no fussing with confusing instructions.

Transferring from a MacBook to Windows laptop and wanted to move from a ~10 year old HDD external to SSD for faster read/write speeds, better durability, smaller form factor, etc. Have just over 500 GB of media dating back many years and wanting to keep it all safe for years to come. Was having the *worst* time with the HDD formatted in Mac OS extended. Luckily the Samsung T7 came formatted in exFAT already and was able to communicate with both my MacBook and my new Windows laptop. Didn't sit and measure write speeds (as was transferring from the old external HDD to the new T7) but was impressed when accessing the media later on how quickly everything loaded. The form is amazing - smaller than a deck of cards and much thinner too. No troubles with heat or either the USB type C or USB type A connections. (And pleasantly surprised that they included both in the box). Super happy overall and tons of room to grow into it now.

Slim and quick SSD, comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-3 cable. The Samsung Magician application (the only thing on the drive when you plug it in) isn't a bad piece of software.
I'd recommend reformatting the drive from exFAT to NTFS, but that's a personal preference for partitioning.

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.
