Fast drive. Works great with my iMAC. Very happy with this purchase.

Finally went with SSD, so far. so good. Works like it says it will.

THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT CAME WITH IT ARENT SIMPLE..EVEN LOOKED UP ON YOUTUBE TO SEE IF I COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT IM DOIN WRONG??? THE VIDEOS ARE NOT ENOUGH BASIC INSTRUCTIONS...CONSIDERING RETURNING

Work in the field in IT and this device does what I need it to do

My wife needed extra storage for photos and this works perfectly.

This is an excellent ssd drive. Fast access and file transfer.

Very easy set up. Very strong and built nicely. Fast speed

Fast drive, use for backups and only takes minutes every time

Would have been nice if someone from geek squad could explain how to make it work or even demonstrate properly. They instructions are tiny and confusing. Thank goodness I had teenage neighbor that showed me how to work.

Great deal! Solid drive for fast editing on photos/videos.

I have been using the drive for the past week while I was out of town. I had some huge files I needed to be editing and updating. A huge training presentation which required a multitude of images and actions. I was able to store the presentation and files on the T7 and when I launched the presentation the images appeared flawlessly as if they were on the built in MacBook drive. I was very impressed with how smooth everything went. I made edits at a location away from wifi and internet service without any issues. Sometimes when you don't have access to wifi and you need to work with files offline which has many photos and images, you need a storage device which doesn't take space on a limited drive on your laptop. I am now glad that I purchased a laptop with a small harddrive because the drive is very small and portable. Easy to put in my case and take with me. Plugs in with the USB-C connection and is ultrafast. Love the size and the look, very sleek, no-one even noticed that I had a small harddrive which I placed on the table behind the laptop. I plan on using it to place music on and play in my car on my weekend trip to KC. Can't wait to load it up and then let it play my favorite songs. It fits nicely in my car storage unit right next to the usb-c port. Not afraid of carrying this drive wherever I go.

easy to use, small enough to carry in your pocket.

Has not been 1 year and already working with SAMSUNG for replacement or repair due to not being detected by PC, which after looking seems to be a common issue.

I only edit off of SSD’s so glad they are coming down in price. Now they just need to make them in 10-20tb for a reasonable price just stay away from Western Digital. Over a decade i’ve had about 5 western digitals go bad. Never had a samsun or g drive go bad. Also i edit in 8k so ssd is mandatory.

In a word, TERRIBLE! Despite the number of times I visited Best Buy and the Geek Squad, no one was able to improve the run time for merely doing a copy-and-paste of my data from my internal SSD (C:\) to this external SSD. In fact, my rotary external Passport drive ran circles (more than 150%) over my subject SSD. I backed up my data onto my rotary drive in about 3 hours, whereas my B/U onto my external SSD took in excess of 8 hours. Even when I tried deleting older versions of my data on the external SSD, it took about 3 hours merely to complete the Calculating phase alone. It was unnerving! This same poor performance happened with an external SSD drive with another brand ... AND, such poor performance occurred on my second laptop that I purchased at the same time as my first laptop. Both of my laptops performed unacceptably with your external SSD. I wish there was an answer, but there does not seem to be any. So I'll be returning my external SSD today. Question: How can copying my data on an internal SSD to an external SSD take longer than when using an external rotary drive??? Baffling! I'd love to hear back from you.

Really wanted to like this thing…. After rehashing online, turns out that the supplied cable is trash. It wouldn’t even connect and would freeze up my computer until I unplugged it. Changed the cable and I can now at least get it to connect. Transfer speeds are trash as well, no well near the as advertised. I would not recommend it. I gave it 2 stars because it is rugged so if you don’t care about speed and need something to hold up outdoors then should be considered but there’s better options out there.

This is a solid drive to use. I have recently been prepping to record music in a studio, and they recommended having a pair of T7 drives to store the master recordings, so these seem to be the gold standard for the recording industry. I cannot comment on the “shield” aspect of this drive, as I haven’t thrown it against a wall or dropped it just to test it, but it is a comfort to know that the files should be safe for a long time. Physically, it is a very nice touch that the exterior is rubberized, making it much more difficult to drop than the plain metal cases of the non-shield version of the T7. You also get a USB3 to type-C cable to connect to your computer or hub. Transfer speeds seem to be good, though I'm not an expert on what to expect. I'm interested in using the drive for long-term storage, so the SSD should be better than a standard spinning HD which is more delicate and susceptible to magnetic interference and such. Overall, this is a great little drive, giving about 2TB of storage in the size of a credit card, just about 1cm thick.

This is the nicest all around drive I have owned. The drive is super fast with SSD internal drive. The looks are also very attractive and the drive is rugged. Samsung thoughtfully packed this with different cables making it useful for more than just laptops. There is software to install for Mac and PC, but also works flawlessly for my iPad Pro with the USB-C cable. With it being solid state, it is completely noiseless and doesn’t become hot with ongoing use, even with intensive reads and writes. Most of my other drives are considerably larger and not nearly as portable. With multiple laptops, this is the one that I carry with me for every occasion. While this might not seem so important, I’m writing this as I stand in line at an airport with a very heavy backpack. The weight and size of the drive matters, especially when traveling. As SSD drives become less expansive, these will become the standard for portable storage. Samsung always provides top of the line products and this is no exception.

The upload of documents are mo faster than hard drives. I have only used it when backing up Quicken data. Not eorth the price.
