I use these for doing music audio production. They work fine and are portable so I can take them anywhere. Fast and efficient and at a good price!

I purchased this drive to be able to bring various files along with me when not at home, This is good if you have limited disk capacity and no network connectivity to any cloud services.
I formatted the unit in APFS to work with a 16" M1 Pro MacBook. I added several containers (think partitions) to store data in easy to retrieve locations.
Data transfer times are very fast between this device and the MacBook. Keep in mind the speed of your computer's main disk device and the interface on the machine you will be using this with.
I purchased the unit on sale, which made it a very good buy.
If 2TB is too large, the units are offered in 1TB and 500GB. Units with slower transfer times are available as well.

This External SSD drive does exactly what it should. It’s fast, reliable and portable. Transferring files from a computer is crazy fast along with none of the normal spinning hard drive problems where I’d you bump the drive while in use you lose all of your data. The only negative is the size - I wish it could be more compact.

This is invaluable to have. Cant tell you how many times i have carted this around with me to get files back in forth to where i need them. 2 TB works great, can be used as a Time Machine backup, but why GO Raid.
As a Portable drive this is fantastic. 2 TB is the right amount of storage to get anything you could possible image from point a to point b.. I am using this as a Sample Storage for Music studio (AND YES, samples can take up a TB or two easy) but also music score info.. This cuts down on having to carry so much clutter with me.. Simply fits in the pocket and off i go.. When i use it for my IT stuff i can keep just about all the code i need for reference along with ANY MSDN docs and installs. Perfect companion for on the go.

I've used this hard drive since February and so far, it's been great. I don't see a reason for me to replace it any time soon. As a DJ, I use this to store my music library on it and it's pretty fast in terms of allowing me to access my folders. I specifically like the fact that the drive comes with two separate data cables, and allows for you to use whichever is available for your system.

I love the small compact size, fast transfer rate using the USB 3.2 Gen 2. The Encryption seems to be solid. Now I am able to re-organize all my files and put all the files I want to make sure I have a back up on this nice portable drive.

Samsung does it right... fast, reliable, good aesthetics and compact. It's easy to travel with and sturdy even though it is not the "rugged" model. All things being good or great I went for a 5-start rating because it comes with both USB-C to C short cable and a second cable USB-C to USB-A. For me the inclusion of both cables made this a perfect package at a reasonable price.

Purchased new when it was on sale. The drive is more than fast enough for backups, since I am not using as a primary boot/data drive. Small and light and USB A 3.1 to C gives about 3 GB transfer rate, fast enough for it's write function and better than the spinning hard drive I had for a backup before.

This is so small and has a lot of space for files. It's very easy to use. It is also expensive. If you have the money and need to back up files, this will be great. I just can't believe the pocketability of this product.

Easy to install, takes up very little space. Being a SSD no noise or moving parts to wear out. So convenient to manually back up all files, pictures and music. Just a quick click drag and done! Leaving it plugged in so easy to update.

This is a great addition to my electronic storage arsenal. However, I wouldn't download video games onto it and try to play them from this storage, the latency of information transfer from the external device to the PC is noticeable even when using type 3 USB or USB C on both ends.
But, it's affordable and very sturdy. If I need more external storage where I won't be using it to store games, I'd buy another.

Love everything about it. Large capacity for an ssd drive, speed, reliability, looks. You get the quality you pay for here. I have a few with different colors for easy identification.
This review is from Samsung - T7 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption - Metallic Red
I would recommend this to a friend

Bought for my PS5 since the PS5's storage is low. I have a lot of PS4 games and PS5 games that I had to keep deleting so when I finally got this storage I was relieved that I wouldn't have to keep reinstalling games. And since I heard the T7 was a really fast External drive I knew I had to get it. And it is! It's very quick at downloading games and loading them as well. I thought maybe I'd be waiting a bit longer since it's playing off a External SSD but nope! It's almost as fast as the PS5 SSD when loading my PS4 games up. Also with the recent software update on PS5 I can now store my PS5 games on here to which is fantastic! I've already used over half way of the storage on this thing and still have a lot more room for extra PS4 games.
