    Super Fast and Nice Drive

    I love this little T7 portable drive. Especially now that prices have gone down a good bit with time/newer models. It is FAST. No doubt about that. A caveat: I've had the T1, T5, and now the T7. Each one has had problems with it's own software and my Mac computers. The older versions never did get proper updates to make the encryption/passwords work well and then Samsung suggested I had to upgrade the drive to get things to work. Since I just got the new M1 Mac, the newest version won't work with Silicone chips either, including in Intel with Rosetta 2. My solution? I just formatted it all the way as an APFS drive and use it as a normal non-encrypted external storage drive. For me, that's fine. I didn't buy it for the software and encryption, I bought it as a fast drive to backup my mac with Time Machine and files. For that reason, I highly recommend it.

    It's a nice little, compact storage space for all of my stuff. I haven't have any issues with overheating or shutting off or anything which is good. It seems to work well and does what I need it to do.

    Great for time machine backup. Screamingly fast and doesn’t get hot. Works really well on my MBP 16, just plugged in and worked. I’m not using 5”the encryption, so can’t speak to that feature. Great drive for the money. Highly recommended.

    Purchased to attach to a Tablo DVR. Basically plug and play, Simple setup on the Tablo and it was up and running. Tablo only had a small memory and this replaced it with maybe 150-200 hours of HD recording capability.

    I use this drive for video editing on my iMac with Adobe Premiere. It's fast and it takes up very little room on my desk. It comes with two cables, a regular USB and a USB-C. They're only about 14" long, so your drive won't be very far from your computer.
