    I like that it is password protected. I did not care for the cable connection. It was rather weak

    Too Slow

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

    I just used this for the first time to do a Time Machine backup - 300 GB - from my 2018 MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.4.1. The T7 wrote for 35 minutes and was very warm to the touch when finished. T7's USB 3.2 port is too slow when transferring from MB Pro's Thunderbolt 3. Sandisk's Extreme Portable USB-C NVMe SSD is significantly faster.

    do not buy

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

    I do not recommend this product. I bought it and after spending a couple of hours transferring data it stopped working. I took it back to the store and exchanged it for another one. 3 months later, it stopped working again and I lost all my data. This is the worst thing ever which is to trust one brand with your precious data but then they horribly fail.
