    Quality Samsung SSD

    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.

    I use this drive for video editing on my iMac with Adobe Premiere. It's fast and it takes up very little room on my desk. It comes with two cables, a regular USB and a USB-C. They're only about 14" long, so your drive won't be very far from your computer.

    Great for time machine backup. Screamingly fast and doesn’t get hot. Works really well on my MBP 16, just plugged in and worked. I’m not using 5”the encryption, so can’t speak to that feature. Great drive for the money. Highly recommended.

    Purchased for backing up two PCs prior to upgrade to Windows 11. Fast, easy to use. Did not overheat during a large (450GB) write, despite what other reviewers have said.

    This gives plenty of storage for your MacBook. I’m using it to store B-roll, temporarily filing current projects, and finished projects, as well as the editing software app. No more storage issues! Editing is now a breeze and takes a few minutes to export even for an hour long video.

    This little thing stores so much storage for it's size its rediculous. I tried transfer stuff from older computers I have, but it obviously is only compatible with newer computers. It does not work for for my intended use, but I will continue to use it for new data.

    I use this to store all of my music files and video files for music and video production since my iMac only has 512GB of storage. Was an excellent buy that helped me extend the storage of my limited computer. Also editing is a breeze.

    I have used several of the Samsun external SSD's in my business and am very happy with every one of them. The T7 is definitely a winner with faster speeds and instant mount time when connected. Very light weight and extremely portable.

    Excellent speed, small design to fit anywhere, and good capacity. Plus it comes it colors, I'm tired of the basic black white or grays. Metallic and red/blue are a good addition.

    I bought this to be my extra drive for my PS5 and it works great. I have no complaints only that I wish i bought the 2TB instead. Definitely worth it regardless of the reason you buy it. It works great, reliable and fast.
