    Using as replacement of internal startup drive on my iMac 27, three months conclusion is…….speeds up Lightroom quite a bit compared to internal original. Gets quite hot but less the 55C……how long it lasts is another question.

    Best storage device. Handy and large file holding capacity especially when you are overwhelmed with family pictures on your phone this gives you a big time relief. It even got dropped several times but works perfectly! Price is very affordable too!!

    Very fast SSD with great hardware. Comes with USB-C to USB-C cable that allows for Power Deliver and full USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds. And a USB-C to USB-A that also allows for 10Gbs speed. I have zero complaints and edit all my videos and photos off of this drive. I wish I would have bought one sooner. It is small, light and can slip in any pocket of a backpack or laptop sleeve, perfect for on the go.

    Small, Fast File Storage

    Have only had for a short time, but it has so far been fast and reliable. While transferring larger amount of files (~100 GB at a time), it was tending to run hot, but cooled off almost immediately after the transfer was complete. It is as small and compact as I could have asked for. High quality product.

    After using the Samsung T7 1TB SSD for a year, I’m happy to grab a second one. It’s been a solid drive—super fast for transferring big files, and the size makes it easy to toss in my bag. The hardware encryption is a nice perk, especially since I’ve got some work files on it. I also own the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD, which is great too, but I feel the T7 runs cooler and feels a bit sturdier over time. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable choice.

    This item gave me more space for my pc. I would transfer my important files on there as I make the folder for it. Easy access to my files on there. Definitely recommend it.

    Two cables; very fast transfer

    The package comes with both a USB-A-to-USB-C cable and a USB-C-to-USB-C cable, just so you know. I was quite happy with the addition of both cables. I have had issues with USB-C in the past but so far the C-to-C cable works super fast and has given me no problems (so I haven't even had to use the other cable, yet, but I'm glad I have it). It can get quite hot, so make sure it's propped up on something or you pause frequently between file transfers. And, so far, I've only had it disappear and not show up in my file folders once, after going idle. Overall, just a bump up to a better experience.

    This is a very nice external hd. This thing is lightening FAST compared to my other standard HDD. It does get warm but just keep it in the open and you should be fine. It is kinda slippery so I suggest getting a case for it because it can definitely slip outta your hand. If you want a FAST external drive this is the one to get! It’s a kinda pricey tho.

    Solid Performer in an External SSD

    Easy and fast external drive. This was my first SSD drive. I learned that these drives get warm if you write a lot of data to them at once. My computer is 5 years old so speed was constrained by only having USB 2.0 ports The drive is very compact. The fact that it came with two cables meant I didn't have to purchase any additional dongles or converters.
