love the size, easy to transport. Comes with USB and USB-C cords

Easy and affordable. Quick upload speed, large storage

A few years ago, solid-state drives were luxuries. The prices have come down – and the sizes have increased. So it is reasonable to have half a terabyte drive that you can carry with you. I'm testing a one terabyte version made by Samsung. It comes with USB 3.2 cable and regular USB 3 cable. It is said to have the hardware encryption which I was able to test. The program can be downloaded here for Windows https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/global.semi.static/SAMSUNG_PORTABLE_SSD_T7_TOUCH_20200324/SW/M1Y2D9M9090J2KIA55338E2512E718DB3E7A87298A7108/SamsungPortableSSD_Setup_1.0_Win.zip and here for Mac https://s3.ap-northeast- 2.amazonaws.com/global.semi.static/SAMSUNG_PORTABLE_SSD_T7_TOUCH_20200324/SW/M1Y2D9M9090J2KIA55338E2512E718DB3E7A87298A7108/SamsungPortableSSD_Setup_1.0_Mac.zip To me, it seems to lock out the drive – and change the size of the partition so the encrypted file(s) / folder(s) I hidden from the computer that this software is not installed on – or if the password is not entered. I am unable to test how secure this is but I sure a government agency that deals with intelligence may be able to look at the files without your help. The program, if not deleted from the drive, can be installed on more than one computers so you can access the files (with the password) on any computer. At this time, it is version 1.72 but it is considered “portable SSD software 1.0.” But I don't use it for anything like that so I find this little drive (and it is tiny) very usable to carry files around. The transfer rate is very high – I connected it to an LG laptop that has 3.1 connector and it blew way any physical hard drive that I have. It comes down to this.. you don't want to put any price on your valuable data – Samsung is known to make high quality solid-state drives, so this should last a while. (You do not want to defrag a solid-state drive because it will wear it out.) If I have to choose between this one and a less well-known brand, this Samsung drive would be my first choice. It seemed reliable enough and the transfer rate is very high and with any solid-state drive, it is impact resistant so he could bang around in your bag without failing. Unless it is filled with video files, this should be big enough for any college student or for a professional that has to carry his files home.

This is a very solid drive. It is light and yet doesn't feel like it will break at the slightest touch. Samsung says that it can write up to 1,000 MB/sec, but even when transferring from a built in SSD to this SSD over the provided USB-C to USB-C cable I could never get it to go over 700. Don't get me wrong, that is still a really impressive number and faster than any other drive that I've used, so I'd still recommend it, but I think Samsung might be overselling it a bit. The hardware encryption on this is definitely a strong selling point, I think it is the strongest. It takes almost less than a minute to set up and (while I admit I didn't try too hard) I wasn't able to find a way to hack it. If you are looking for something that is small, fast, and secure, this will definitely meet your needs. Oh, and a side note, Samsung boasts about the thermal management on this preventing the drive from overheating, what they don't tell you is that they are achieving that by having this thing radiate heat like crazy, so make sure that you use it in an area where that heat can dissipate.

I bought this after i almost lost all of my photos but now theyre safe. Very easy to use.

I love how small this 1 Tb drive is! One cable hook up. I have an older 500 Gb drive that is about the size of a large bible and needs a separate power adapter. This would slip into your pocket without even noticing It! Great to travel with. It comes with 2 included cables. USB A to USB C, and C to C. And setup software is right on the drive. I used this for Wireless network storage. Easy enough to setup, Just know the address and path your router gives it. Plug it in and you're good to go!

Very small presence on desk and could slip in pocket for travel. Also looks cool. A great external Storage device.

Was able to easily plug this into an Android phone and moved files between the phone and other computers.

simply amazing, easy to setup up and transfers files very fast

This SSD is extremely fast when it comes to editing in Final Cut Pro! As a professional editor, speed and reliability is key. I 100% recommend the Samsung T7 2TB!

I have the T7 secure, and most of the features are the same minus the finger print sensor, and while that one is used for work, this one is used for play. Setup is easy, you plug the drive in, and run the T7 software. It comes with two USB cords, a USB-C to USB-C and a USB-A to USB-C. So, there are options. I did do a test run and created a backup on my gaming desktop (Using USB-C to C) and I created an image of my computer in under thirty minutes. I love this tiny drive. I love the size and features. I primarily utilize this drive to store all my photographic work and it transfers photos super-fast, so if you need something small and fast for portability, this drive is perfect for you.

Working well for my storage needs! Using it for video editing finished project storage. I’m happy I can continue using my MacBook Air and have enough storage now.

This is good for storing games on your pc. HDD is okay but SSD is much faster and reliable. Never got problems with this bad boy when transferring data.

Great SSD, have been actively using for the past couple months. Fast, easy, efficient and crazy portable. So good I got two.

I have been using this for the rog ally and it has been running games perfectly as if they were downloaded on the rog ally itself I recommend for anybody looking for extra storage for the rog

Love this new Samsung external 1 TB SSD! It is super compact and fits in your pocket easily. Great for travel. Super easy to set up and lightning fast. I use it to transfer large file games when traveling. I also like the extra security with the password login to access.

Im kind of tech fabatic and select products by critically analyzing them. This one takes the cake because not only its small in size its duraable and performs way betther than other. Go for it!

Samsung T7 1TB SSD: Secure, fast, and ultra-portable storage

Samsung created an extremely helpful resource that can be used personally and/or professionally. This External is absolutely perfect! It is not bulky. It is thin, very lightweight and delicate. The storage is amazing! I transferred the files, pictures, music, movies, etc., and have more than half free. I will purchase another (and possibly one more after that) just because they're size and storage are perfect.

The external drive I bought was easy to use, slim and easy to store in briefcase or elsewhere. Set up was simple.
