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.

Small, fast and so far seems quite robust. Can get warm when writing to the SSD, but never hot.

I love these drives, I have been using them for 2 years I have 3. Super fast and durable. I travel a lot and travel a lot, and they are perfect. You pay a bit more, but to the day I have had no issues with them.

I don’t have much luck with standard externals which is unfortunate due to their immense portable space and convenience so given that I’ll be needing some reliable portable drives I decided to take a dip into the external SSD pool. 2 TB may not seem like a lot but I’ve got about 20 or so games installed (some between 30-100 GB apiece) and still have half of my space left. It runs as well as you would expect for SSD. I’m no expert, I don’t notice it run any faster or lower I just notice my laptop doesn’t lag like it does it with my external.

The Samsung T7 2TB SSD is incredibly fast and compact. File transfers are smooth and much quicker than a traditional external drive. The build quality feels premium, and the hardware encryption adds extra peace of mind for sensitive data. Easy to use with both USB-C and USB-A cables included. Highly recommended for backups and everyday use.

This external SSD includes both USB-C and the older style USB connectors in the box. It is small and thin with a metallic shell. While not tested, it says it has a 2 meter drop distance. I would recommend this to others looking for an external SSD.

Was able to get a good deal on it for price and it's great. Using it as an upgrade for an older imac, only using usb for hookup, but it's quite a bit faster. Everything loads quickly, very easy to setup and happy I did it, feels like a newer computer and all my apps run more efficiently. Definitely going to get another one or two, oh and wow, it's small, really small, which is impressive over the older ssd's.

Samsung - T7 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable Solid State Drive with Hardware Encryption
I especially appreciate the facts that there is no moving parts, fast read/write speeds and very compact. This is the second one I’ve purchased. I fly the DJI INSPIRE 2 and that machine is a data devouring Drone. I can easily download my 960GB CINESSD memory stick to my MacBook through Apple’s Final Cut Pro at full resolution, transfer to the SAMSUNG SSDs then retrieve pieces back to the Mac as I go into production mode.

I bought this for a friend who does a lot of photography work on her Macbook after her old external drive went south. I was surprised at how small it was when out of the box. I watched it in action and was told that everything loaded much faster and worked out perfect for what she needed. Also the perfect size for on the go on her photography gigs.

I like the portable size of the Samsung -T72TB External USB
It is sturdy and it is perfect to help me store my work. I have been using a previous Samsung SSD for over two years and hasn't failed me yet. Easy to store images and data.

I use this drive for my photography and video editing. I would say this is one of the best portable SSD’s in the price range at the moment. The design is very compact and pocketable easy to carry. It is very well built and about the size of a credit card. Highly recommend anyone who needs speed in their creative profession and pocketable storage. Samsung has the best SSD’s in the market. I picked this up from curbside in about 5 minutes. Best Buy associate was very precise and helpful. Great product customer service overall!

Great SSD. Fast and furious. Stays cool and has lots of space for my photos and movies. Smaller than I expected. Strange occurrence with the cable provided, the connector at the drive melted as if overheated. Didn't affect performance, but I replaced it anyway. Hasn't been an issue since.

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!!
