    Great external drive for iMac

    Works great on 2020 iMac. I use it to run Windows 10 (via Bootcamp) and it runs quickly. There are online videos on how to install Windows on an external drive. It does get a bit warm so I keep the drive placed flat on the desk to help transfer the heat. Size is compact and feels like a solid product.

    I recently bought this drive, and it has been a huge help for my work. It’s incredibly fast, lightweight, and easy to use. I mainly use it to save all my files and projects, and it has really helped me offload a lot of storage from my laptop. Now my laptop runs smoother, and I have peace of mind knowing my important work is safely backed up. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable, portable storage.

    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.

    Using the T7 4TB external USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSdD for a back up of my 4k and 1080 p home videos and computer stuff. Woks Great but I'm awere that you have to occasionally use it or it could loose data. So I get it out once a month to keep it active. Work fine and great speed,

    The most impressive speed-up for an older system is an SSD drive! They are wicked awesome fast compared to an HD disk. This one is very small. Not much bigger than a short stack of business cards. My only concern is when I run it if it lies on, or worse under, a blanket; it runs pretty dam hot. When you think about how small the chips are way down inside this thing, they have to be really, really much hotter, and heat is not a good thing for semiconductors. Historically semiconductors fail in the first 90-120 days or so. After that, they go on to outlive the person who bought them, so running it between a couple of blankets might be a way to eliminate infant mortality within the warranty period. Works fine. Lasts a long time. Won't rust. Won't bust. It's a product you can trust.

    Super fast and super light external SSD

    This is a super fast USB-C based drive that is so thin and light that you can carry it in your pocket easily. I really liked the speed at which data could be transferred in and out of this drive, especially when you connect it to a good SSD and thunderbolt (USB-C) laptop. I have seen good speeds when connected to my Macbook Pro 2019. I also plugged this to my Samsung TV, which recognized this easily and I am able to access the folders and video files on this drive easily. The disk does get hot when you are transferring huge data in or out of it, but other than that it works great. Samsung provides 2 different USB cables (USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A) in case you want to connect to a laptop with USB A type connector. The size lets you carry a lot of things that you don't need to have in your laptop all the time.

    Bought for PS5, even faster than internal storage!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the specifically for my PS5 since Sony was very generous with the 800GB they gave to use at launch....lol This adds a full 1TB since there is no "system files" or chunk of storage reserved, which is what the PS5 needs/does with it's internal storage. I was skeptical since the PS5 was having issues with external storages drives with a handful of systems, but wow I must tell you - I'm shocked how FAST this thing performs. No joke, games pulled from this SSD seem to load faster that when they were on the internal drive! I transferred all my PS4 games onto this is a matter of minutes, when it took over an hour to transfer to the PS5 initially! This thing is super small which is nice. I already have too many games I'm in the middle of and couldn't load up some of the PS5 games I bought - now I have plenty of room for awhile and shouldn't have a storage issue. I was iffy about spending this much on PS5 storage but absolutely glad I did! Got it on sale for $160 and would recommend to anyone needing more gaming storage!

    It’s incredibly small, which is excellent for personal use. The files transfer quicker than other external hard drives. I wish it had more storage capacity, but for the size of this product, it’s pretty good. For a easily portable storage product this more than exceeds expectations.

    I haven't had it long, but seems to work great. It comes with both USB and USB-C cables. Transfers files quickly and seems to work well. I got it to combine old drives to one drive. About the size of 3 credit cards, which is fascinating to my feeble brain.

    I have two of these Samsung SSD's a 1TB and a 2TB. I've had no problems with either one. They were easy to set up and to use. I can't tell about the lifetime reliability but so far so good. I use them primarily for backup. The 1TB I've had for two years and the 2TB about 3 months. I would recommend them based on my experience so far.
