Unboxing the Samsung Portable SSD T7 was a breeze. There's the actual storage device that is thin and smaller than my hand, 2 cords that can connect C to C and C to A. I thought maybe it needed charged before hand so I plugged it in. I couldnt find in the quick start quide if it needed to be or not. When I plugged the C cord into my Android phone, a tab dropped down to connect my files. It brings you to all the files in your device that you want to transfer. There are also other files already preloaded on the Portable SSD that is useful as well. It tells you how to make a password to protect your items, an app you can download, and a how to use the device. This SSD T7 is seriously the easiest thing to use!!! I transfered over 4000 pictures and videos in under 5min. This would be such a time saver for important work documents!! There is a 3 year warranty on it as well. Also drop resistant up to 2 meters! I do wish it came with a case however. I'd hate for the port to get damaged somehow. The Samsung SSD T7 is compatible with Windows, Mac, Android.

The samsung portable SSD T7 500 GB memory device is amazing. I love the password security feature which puts me at ease with the sensitive information that I like to keep on the drive. The small card size design is amazing and it doesnt heat up making it optimal for long sessions. The device loads fast and the file transfers are extremely fast. Having connectivity via usb-c and usb-a makes this perfect for moving information between my two computers. The blue color is also an amazing look.

Jaybee:
Thank you for sharing your experience with the performance speeds.
The maximum transfer speed that can be achieved by the T7 is 1,050MB/s on a PC that supports USB 3.2 Gen2, UASP mode, but the speed may vary depending on the user‘s PC environment and the types of data being transferred. Please look to the details below for possible causes (and solutions) if you think your T7 is under performing.
Scenario 1 (PC Environment) Your PC's USB Type C Port must support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) in order to fully utilize the speed of the T7. USB 3.0 Gen.1, USB 3.1 Gen 1. USB 3.2 Gen.1 are restricted to 5Gbs speeds any may be the bottleneck to the performance of your T7 .
Scenario 2 (Cable) Using other cables besides the enclosed cable that comes with the T7 may cause performance degradation. Due to the varying internal resistance and maximum allowable current of other the cable types that does not come officially with the T7.
Scenario 3 (Dynamic Thermal Guard, DTG) The T7 is designed to activate the DTG (Dynamic Thermal Guard) when the product reaches a its threshold temperature due to prolonged data transfers and usage. The smartly activated DTG function prevents the product from overheating and automatically slows down providing it a cool off period. The DTG technology enhances safety and reliability by preventing the product from reaching an excessively high temperature.

Best external drive I have ever owned.

What I like about this drive is, as long you as connect via a modern USB interface, 3.1 Gen2+ preferably, it is an amazingly fast external drive. It is won't be as fast your directly connected sata 3 or NVME M.2 drives, but it is a lot faster than a HDD for sure. Doing a transfer test from this drive to a WD Blue 7200 RPM, the HDD was saturated, ie 100%, and the T7 was as about 30% utilization.
Its GB to dollar ratio is a bit high, but its physical size (its tiny) and convenience are worth it I think.
Additional:
It comes with two cable connectors. Type A to type C, and type C to type C. It comes with some encryption software as well. I did not explore it. It is of no use to me. It comes with no case. So you would need one of those.

If you looking for a good portable SSD this is amazing. The speed is even slightly faster than sata connection and it included booth USB-c to USB-C and USB-c to USB-A just in case.
I am not giving it 5 starts cause you have to configure windows a bit if you don't want it disconnecting every 6 to 8 minutes (Which is annoying if you are downloading something). Once I change the settings it had work great unless you make it do much work (such as downloading a game and playing a game from it too, it seems to disconnect during that).

This SSD has a speedy transfer rate. It's cable of moving content from your system directly on to it's format with little effort. I keep all of my pictures and there's still plenty of room. The look is sleek, it's quite small so you can place this in your pockets and the overall weight is light. I would recommend this product for storing all of your information without the use of something huge and too heavy to lug around.

Been using a WD 2TB HDD external drive. Unfortunately, my VMs were starting to load extremely painfully slow. Load times would be anywhere up to an hour or maybe more depending on how slow or fast the HDD wanted to go at USB 3.0 speeds.
Upgraded to the T7 just to have faster response times, and so far it has delivered that and reliability. And Its smaller in size compared to the old boy. Really liking this unit.
