    This external drive is great for storing all my extra projects. I’m happy with my purchase and glad to save as much storage as possible on my computer. It is compatible with MacBook Pro.

    Super Fast and Nice Drive

    I love this little T7 portable drive. Especially now that prices have gone down a good bit with time/newer models. It is FAST. No doubt about that. A caveat: I've had the T1, T5, and now the T7. Each one has had problems with it's own software and my Mac computers. The older versions never did get proper updates to make the encryption/passwords work well and then Samsung suggested I had to upgrade the drive to get things to work. Since I just got the new M1 Mac, the newest version won't work with Silicone chips either, including in Intel with Rosetta 2. My solution? I just formatted it all the way as an APFS drive and use it as a normal non-encrypted external storage drive. For me, that's fine. I didn't buy it for the software and encryption, I bought it as a fast drive to backup my mac with Time Machine and files. For that reason, I highly recommend it.

    Well made, sturdy external drive. Very fast 3.2 data transfer if your computer has a lightening usb port or equivalent. Very Useful for cloning your hard drive or ssd drive for the ultimate backup.

    This drive is fantastic! Live the speed and size of it. Cannot get another SSD worth thisbsize thats more worth it. I have two 2TB and they work amazing. Backing up work was a drag before. Now its weirdly kind of fun.

    Samsung created a slightly thicker than credit card size backup SSD hard drive that ran high speed on phone and computer. It required to install the Samsung SSD version 1 app on Android phone. I wish I had bought 2.

    Quite fast for an external USB drive! Nice value for storage. I do use this for my PS5, it’s not fast enough to play modern games, but it most certainly works well for storage of digital PS4 games and PS5 for easy transfer to console storage.

    I use this drive to backup my main computer mainly for pictures. During the initial backup it got warm but nothing to be worried about. It is fast when hooked up to the correct USB connection.

    i'm guessing the new T9 series is faster, but this is my 2nd one of the T7 series and, like the first, it is fast, extremely convenient (small/thin/light), has a quality solid steel feel, and comes well packaged with 2 USB cables. Great piece of gear. Came formatted ex-Fat and that is what I needed - transfers seamlessly between Windows PC and Mac and can handle very large files.

    Serves its purpose well as an external diagnostic/utility drive for computer maintenance. Not as fast as external NVMe SSDs, but plenty fast for basic file backup or diagnostic utility applications. Also doesn't run nearly as hot as NVMe SSDs during high read/write scenarios.
