    Lightning Fast Dependable Compact Storage

    It is exceptional for me, it is lightning fast and simple to setup and use. In the time that I have had it, it has performed flawlessly transferring data of all formats up and down to and from all types of hardware that I use on a daily basis. I have not noticed any mechanical issues like warming or getting hot, it stays cold no matter how long it is used and how much data is being processed. I like the fact that you can password lock and protect your data stored on it very securely. I love this little tiny thing, it’s so thin and compact and weightless that I can fit numerous drives in my laptop bag without any bulging and at home or the office they don’t take up any space to speak of. Compact well made and very dependable storage.

    I needed a fast and reliable drive to deliver a batch of images and this fit the bill without needing to buy a terabyte+ of storage. Client was happy, and I was happy that I could transfer the files extremely fast.

    Small, light weight and FAST storage for my MacBook Air. Accidentally dropped it from desk high and no damage, unlike the Tb LaCie rotating drive it replaces. Good trade up even though having fewer bytes.

    This hard drive is everything it promises to be. Aside from being small and convenient to transport to different jobs, it’s durable. I dropped it and it was unaffected. It operates swiftly and it’s well worth the asking price.

    I had always heard about editors that just edit directly off of the Samsung portable SSDs. After purchasing this and using it for a couple weeks I am sold. I often start editing on my iMac and then move to my MacBook Pro. With this it is perfectly seemless. Transferring large files is also lightning fast on this SSD.

    Excellent portable SSD, working even better than the T5 and with and even slimmer design (little bit longer than the T5 though). Some of the best in the market.

    Works well with my computer and was very easy to hook up on it. I have a rather small storage space in my computer and this saved me. Works great for Steam and pretty much any game. I got this on sale and was a great pick up. Totally recommend if you have low amounts of internal storage.

    Great SSD for your PS4/5!

    Very easy to use, I got this to increase the storage on my PS5. I store PS4 games on here and because it’s an SSD, the load times are comparable to the fast load times in the PS5. Its essentially plug and play, you just have to format the drive to use with a PS5, but it’s very easy to do in the settings (click of one button and you’re good to go). It’s super tiny and easy to store under the PS5 (horizontally) as well without interfering with any air flow. So far, I’ve had no issues at all playing my PS4 games on this SSD!

    So much better than an external hard drive

    I used to carry an external hard drive in my tech bag with me just in case but it would only last a year or two before it started to fail from all the shocks it received while being in my backpack and getting tossed around. That's not an issue anymore with this SSD. Plus, this SSD is much much faster so if I ever need to copy a couple hundred GBs of data this SSD will save me a lot of time. I had the T5 which was also great but I was able to sell the T5 on ebay for $70 and buy the T7 on sale for $80. Not a bad price for an NVMe-based SSD.

    One of my hard drives died so I needed a new one. This one was on sale at the time so I purchased it online and picked it up curbside. It is the size of a credit card and not very thick. There was no setup, just plug it in and use it. The only downside is that it is very slick so you would not want to carry it around in your pocket.
