    Works as it should. This was an upgrade after a very old one. I like how small and sleek it is, I was expecting it to be large and it’s not. Lots of storage and cost effective for the amount of storage.

    Not much to say except it does what it’s supposed too and it does hit its advertised speeds when transferring files. It’s fast and easy to use

    Got this to store pictures from my iPhone. It's small and quick. It does get pretty warm, so just be cognizant of that.

    This external USB drive is a very impressive product. Connectivity and access parameters are excellent. Samsung continues to offer software updates on this product suggesting continued support is a welcome virtue.

    I picked up a Mac Mini to replace an older (and 8x the price) workstation. I upgraded the ram on the order but just got a 512GB hard drive model (which runsfxthe OS and programs) and have all the data/videos/photos, etc. on a Samsung T7 external over FireWire. The price-per-gig setting up this way made that decision easy. The data transfer speed is so fast, I can’t tell the difference between the external and internal (It’s immediately obvious how fast this is). Great drive!

    Upgraded my 2017 iMac’s HDD with this external SSD

    I am using this SSD as an external boot drive for a 2017 iMac with a failed internal HDD. Using the Thunderbolt cable, this drive performs even better than the stock drive, making the computer feel extremely snappy. The drive is tiny, less than half the width of a stack of playing cards. Very pleased with this purchase.

    stores my audio files perfectly. I find this device very easy to work with. This is my 3rd one and I have 1 of 2 terabit full already. The perfect backup drive and will archive my files with ease and efficiency. When I saw the 2TB on the shelf I had to grab it. I didn't know if they will ever go out of stock so I didn't hesitate one bit.

    I bought this exact same drive in September 2024 for $99. Technology is supposed to get cheaper over time - this is absolutely absurd to charge almost triple the cost for the same item nearly 2 years later... I need a new drive because I like this one and am running out of space... but not at this cost!!

    It started running a back up the moment I said "go" It has been a reliable option as my main back up on my MacBook Air running Time Machine. East to access to view the saved data.
