    External drive

    I love this external drive; I have had it for quite a while now and have not had any problems with it. I like how it organizes data by date and after a while, it rolls multiple dates into one file to avoid clutter

    Needed an external drive because the internal fusion drive on my iMac was acting up. This little gem is now the main hard drive for the system and brought new life to an older device. It is fast and efficient.

    Great ssd. Speed and convenience is better than similarly prices usb drives at the same capacity. No moving parts means greater durability compared to mechanical hard drives.

    Teenager loves this for his Macbook, especially the SSD as it allows for seamless and fast recall of large audio and video recordings. Compact size (smaller than an iPhone) allows for easy transport in backpack.

    Using as external iMac drive for Big Sur

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought the Samsung T7 500GB so that I could easily install Mac OS Big Sur on an external SSD to run on my 2015 iMac. My iMac has a fusion drive, which has had problems formatting to APFS, required for that OS. I also wanted to keep the old OS internally to run older programs that aren't supported on Big Sur. The SSD works perfectly as an external Mac drive, and when I bought an M1 Macbook Air, data transfer was extremely fast through the USB-C cord. I plan on getting another one of these to extend storage on the Macbook Air, since it only came with a 256 GB internal drive.

    This drive is great looking as well as fast. Stored a large amount of files so far and still has space. Love the color too. Has both types of cables you may need. Nothing to say negative about this drive.

    Absolutely love this drive. Literally the size of a credit card (and not much thicker) the USB-C cable is very durable and the drive is extremely fast. Definitely recommend buying this drive for speed and size.

    Made my 2017 iMac lightning fast!

    I am using this to speed my my 2017 iMac computer as the HHD in it is super slow. My iMac when from a 3-4 minute start up time to 30 seconds. It went from 30-40 seconds to open an App like Safari or Photos to 2-3 seconds. If you are using the T7 SSD to replace your HHD for speed, look no further. This improved my iMac experience by 100%. It was a little tricky to format the T7 for the iMac. I found a couple of youtube videos that walked me through it step by step so if you are looking to do this and you are not that computer savvy, jump over to YouTube. I found a video titled "Easily add an SSD to any iMac 2012-2019" by Lee-Loi Chieng. I used this to follow step by step and it was all I needed.

    I purchased this to be used as extended storage for an Nvidia Shield. It works great and speed is never an issue with this SSD. I wish the store carried other colors other than blue.

    Good Purchase, Little Complaints

    Transfers data faster, and comes with slim design. Packaging is basic, but makes sure that nothing gets damaged. Its comes with a Usb-c to Usb-c and a Usb-c to Usb-a. The hardware encryption is also a nice touch. Only complaint is how it feels like it could break due to its lightness. Which could be a good or a bad thing. Anyway its a great purchase.
