    Performs exactly as advertised. I needed to transfer data from 2 older model Mac computers to a new one, and retain the data as back-up while deleting non-essential data. Hardware for the transfer were included allowing for easy use.

    I use the Samsung SSD on my Windows 11 gaming desktop for additional storage. To manage space in my internal drive, I also install larger Steam Games to the SSD and pay them from there. With the speed of this drive over a USB-C connection the games have no discernible lag.

    Small and compact, the T7 is a high-performing SSD at a great cost. Note that some USB readers may require a certain amount of wattage to use it--research first before purchasing, but it's a fantastic option if applicable.

    A very fast drive. I bought this to get over 50gb of files off of 3 Imacs at my school that had videos i made for my film major classes, despite the fact those Imacs are slow on the network they run on this drive was very rapid. First time using a SSD it blew me away. I do not regret this purchase. Its amazing!

    EXCELLENT External SSD for Mac; note on formatting

    Great dependable and fast external SSD. I am using the Samsung external SSDs with Macs, for quick Time Machine backups when the SSD is directly connected to a Mac. When I have used this SSD to setup a new Mac from a Time Machine back up from an old Mac, it is very quick. The Samsung SSD drive format is exFAT, which is compatible with Mac and Windows use. For Mac use only, the best format is AFPS, and formatting can be done by using Disk Utility in MacOS. Monitor the sale pricing; the price can occasionally drop significantly.

    The performance of this Samsung SSD has been nothing short of exceptional. The read and write speeds are incredibly fast, making data transfers a breeze, whether it’s large files or backing up important data. I’ve been using it for both personal and professional purposes, and it handles everything I throw at it without a hitch. What stands out the most is the reliability. Even during extended use, the device remains cool and performs consistently without any slowdown. It’s also very quiet, with no noticeable noise even when transferring large amounts of data.

    Good quality SSD, with some reservations

    Works. I have another one, so they last (if quality is the same). One downside is it comes with Samsung Magician. Earlier versions came with a simple application in case you use encryption. I tried Samsung Magician, albeit a long time ago, and (sorry I forget why) found it annoying. Thankfully, the old application works with this drive. Second downside, be aware that only 931 GB are available on the drive. I'll let you search the web to find out why.

    I have purchased 2 of these external hard drive memory cards. Wouldn't buy any other brand. Not flimsy like a standard disc memory. Strong. Hi memory. Easier to use. Very easy to set up and use. Better in every way compared to a "disc" memory.

    Xmas gift for the kids and their pc. They were running out of storage and this provides more than enough. Easy setup, and they were off and running in no time. No issues/problems so far. I think I’m purchasing one for my graphic design work.

    I use this SSD primarily for video editing and other high-bandwidth tasks and it’s absolutely amazing. Great for professional applications. Super overkill for basic file storage but it’s an amazing product otherwise.

    After using this with my PS4 and PS5 for about a month now, I can say it works exactly how I hopped out would. I've seen reviews saying that it has temperature issues and consistently stops working but I have yet to run into those issues. It's a device I use daily and it is constantly being read from and written to. It's extremely fast as well. As fast as advertised.
