    I bought this storage device and connected it to a brand-new Samsung Book 3 Ultra. The original purchase was unable to merge data from the cloud. I returned that one. Now, the second one will not merge data with the cloud. Moreover, it has occasionally lost files. Samsung tech support has not been helpful. Please don't buy this product.

    Samsung Portable SSD T7

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

    I bought a product that was compact and had significant memory - and Samsung Portable SSD T7 1TB hit the mark. The device is very user-friendly, as you simply plug in the UBS cord to the computer and portable hard drive. I used the portable drive to back up my entire computer, and I used less than 30% of the available space on the drive. Bottom line: this device is easy to use, functional, has a lot of capacity, and copies folders and files relatively quickly. Samsung could have provided a sleeve or case to protect the portable harddrive.

    Speed in a small size

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

    The Samsung T7 is a great little NVMe drive that uses up to USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10gbps), allowing for insane read/writes of around a gigabyte a second. It’s likely to be the fastest drive in your PC! My PC could “only” push about 560MB/sec to or from the drive as the other drives in my system weren’t up to that speed and my PC has USB 3.1 gen 2. Build quality is also nice, with a compact metal casing that is about the size of a credit card. It is small and thin and can be packed away for travel easily. The box also comes with two (short) USB cables, one that is USB C to C, and the other the more traditional USB A to C. On the drive, there is an installer for Samsung security and firmware updating software. The drive shipped with the latest firmware, so I didn’t need to update that. The security software allows you to set a password on the drive so it is encrypted and protected. I don’t plan on traveling with it or carrying private documents, so I didn’t choose to enable it, but it’s there if you need it. The drive also works great on an iPad Pro running iPad OS, it shows up as a drive and the files can be accessed from the Files App, it streamed a 2.7k 60fps video with no issues at all, so this gives people who use their iPads as a primary compute device a high performance, compact option for storing more data. I also plugged it into an Xbox One X…and it seems to make a real difference in load times vs the 4TB external spinning drive I have on it normally. Game loads are much faster, including Fortnite and Forza Horizon 4. With the upcoming Xbox Series X also having a high speed USB port on it, this drive will compliment it well for your existing titles, likely decreasing load times even more for your existing Xbox library.

    Makes Mobile Gaming Possible

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

    I have a much smaller (size and capacity) drive, but it was not fast enough to use on my laptop for gaming ( I run games off the external drive to make them portable). So I went on a hunt and found this gem. It is the size of a credit card and comes with both usb3 type A and C connections. This sucker is fast and shows no sign of slowing down. I moved my game over (over 18Gbs) in about 3 mins. A lot faster than my other SSD drive I was using prior. Like all good things you have to take the read/write with a grain of salt. Large files (movies and such) will transfer faster than a bunch of smaller files. this is due to finding, moving, registering and verifying each file. So you can see how a single file will be faster in this case. Likes: size, weight, portability, connection options, speed and pocket-ability. Dislikes: none at this time. Though I doubt I ever will.

      Please know that sometimes customers are unaware of the formatting and initialization steps that must take place before using the drive. The drive might thus appear "DOA." Samsung does not place any formats on the SSD to allow customers to use it for their specific setup.
