    Perfect for on-the-go video editing

    The T5 drives were already amazing, now with the T7 you get the increased speeds of USB 3.1 Gen 2. For the price, to have an extremely portable SSD capable of handling 4K Raw video editing, you really cant go wrong.

    I purchased this for the Sentry mode and dash cam in my Tesla. It is plug and play and perfect for what I need. The storage is lightning quick to get into and view dash cam footage and alarm events. Excellent product.

    Compact & Light, Good Transfer Rate, Encryption

    This small and lightweight drive comes with cables for both USB-A and USB-C. Data transfer rates are pretty decent. I like that the drive comes with built-in encryption, which in my opinion is better than Bitlocker. When you plug in the drive for the first time on any computer, the only files readable are the drive are the encryption installers. Run the installer for the first-time setup, and then whenever you plug in the drive, it asks for your password before your files are visible. Once connected, the drive updates with the amount of available space.

    I'm using this for large file storage and it works as advertised. Also included two different types of connector cables so adding a star for that! Only time will tell if it'll last but so far, so good. The only thing I wish it had was a case but it's so small that maybe Samsung figured that most people wouldn't use it. Other than that I'm happy so far.

    Question before i buy...

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

    with its encryption capabilities, can it auto encrypt all my messages so that i dont have to do it manually? On the dark web, for instance, or when communicating privately?

    Daily use and lots of travel. Held up great so far. Doesn't get hot and the speed feels similar to an internal drive.

    XBOX Slim

    If you are using this for the XBOX to make your games run faster then you might need to change from energy saving mode to instant startup on your console settings for it to recognize it on startup without having to unplug it then plug it back in. Then it worked for me after 4 long days of non-normalcy. Overall i am happy my games load faster [after transferring the games] and instant mode is a game changer [not having to wait 30 seconds on the green screen].. im on the xbox slim. I dont think the X or higher runs any slower than this and i heard X series doesnt compat with this card unless the games on it are xbox one or older. Oh and update it on your PC because i heard games crash if you dont. Also it might void your xbox warranty?

    Amazingly thin and small — about the size of a credit card — this workhorse can hold a *ton* of data. I mean, like, crazy amounts.

    Samsung SSDs are very reliable. I have had several for 500GB -2TB both T5 and T7. They stay pretty cool, are fast. You will never want to use a HDD after using an SSD.
