    Not much setup other than an app requesting installation on plug-in to my computer, seems to work great, I personally use it for storing pictures and videos of family, but with the amount of space I might keep some games on the bench for quick install if I ever want them.

    It is tiny and light. The transfer speed is very very fast! I use it to stored my work files(0.5t) so the 1T capacity is perfect for me.

    This is my first Samsung external USB-C SSD and so far it's been performing well, running Unreal Engine 5 games out of it via a USB-C 3.1 port on my desktop gaming rig. Fits 2025 HP Omen 35L GT16-0344 with Ryzen 7 8700F paired to a RTX 5060 Ti / 16 GB via a USB-C 3.1 port.

    The SAMSUNG T7 2TB is a beast of a portable SSD. Lightning-fast transfers, rock-solid build, and zero headaches across Android, Windows, and mini-PC setups. It’s basically a pocket-sized “local hub” that makes moving files instant and painless. Speeds stay high, it runs cool, and it handles huge folders like nothing. If you’re serious about fast workflow, backups, or cross-device storage, the T7 is the one to get. Fast, reliable, and worth every dollar.

    I’ll start off by saying that you CANNOT run Xbox Series X/S titles from this device. However, you CAN run regular Xbox One games from it. I use it on my new Series X console and I figured out that it’s best to use this to store all of the Xbox One/360 titles on and the next-gen Series X/S on the internal drive. You can, however, store the next-gen titles on here, but again you CANNOT run the next-gen titles form here, only the previous-gen ones. Still a great SSD with good storage, and real-time transfer speeds of about 2.5 Gbps. Solid purchase.

    Review - Samsung T7 4TB External USB 3.2 HD

    The Samsung T7 4TB External USB 3.2 Portable hard drive is both compact and durable. It seemed an excellent choice for use as a backup drive for my ancient 2012 white MacBook, which I primarily use for writing. It's important to own a solid backup drive so as to avoid information loss, and better still, I was fortunate to get it at a sale price

    Needed a faster drive as photos and videos are taking up more space as resolution increases and my data was trapped in the cloud somewhere. I bought this drive thinking it was a temporary fix and it turned out to be a godsend. There are faster drives available BUT… many are rated at 25%-30% of the total read/write cycles of this drive meaning they’ll last 25%-30% of the estimated drive life. It’s fast enough to do anything an intermediate user would need to use with the benefit of password protection and encryption. Just make sure you don’t lose your password if you activate one, not sure if you can recover it if that were to happen. Password protection and 750-850 Read/write speeds on my Mac (750 read on my M1/850 read on my Intel model) make it 10x faster than my old external WD HDD and I’m future proofed for years to come. Excellent value and performance. I usually shoot for the stars when buying new components but this purchase had NO Remorse associated with it. I actually want to gift one to everyone I know who has had issues recovering media from their phones or clouds. It can download entire albums in record time depending on the size of your library. I’d highly recommend this product and will probably be buying 1-2 more in the near future

    Can't complain about these portable SSDs. I use them to back up and store tens of thousands of photos taken by motion-activated trail cameras for wildlife surveys. They work well and are small enough to pack easily in a laptop or camera bag, but not so small that I worry about losing them. I appreciate that they come with both USB-A and USB-C cables for connection with a range of devices.

    I bought this to back up my Macbook using Time Machine. Set-up was smooth and so far it seems to be working well. I appreciate that cables for both USB-C and USB-A are included, and I'm impressed with how compact the drive is. (The photo shows it next to my airpods case for comparison.)

    This is a great option to access lots of storage without having to carry extra weight. A USB thumb drive would work too but its flash memory is usually slower than this external SSD drive. Still the read and write speeds of this drive will vary depending on the file sizes and the PC hardware. The biggest downside are the included short cables - they are not flexible enough which can leave this light weight drive hanging on one end.
