    The Samsung SSD T7 is a compact, high-speed external solid-state drive ideal for professionals and everyday users alike. With read/write speeds up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s and a sleek design, it offers both performance and portability. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 and works seamlessly with PCs, Macs, and even smartphones. Built-in AES 256-bit encryption and optional password protection enhance security, while the shock-resistant build adds durability. Though it can get slightly warm under heavy use, it's one of the best portable SSDs in its class for speed, reliability, and value. I have been using it for last 2 years, so far so good!

    Bought this external SSD for my PS5 and it connects very well and plays games flawlessly. The games can even be downloaded onto the device and played directly from it while connected to the console with zero lag. Amazing little device, and is built to withstand drops and dust.

    I have an older computer with a lot of files that took up space and caused it to slow down. I took the drive out of the box and connected it to the pc and transferred all of my files. Awesome job and still has a lot of space.

    I bought this as a time-machine drive for my Mac mini. It does the job. Not as fast as my usb 4 enclosure with Samsung name inside, but certainly fast enough. The case is nice. Nice and rugged, soft shell. Including a pic of it next to my OWC usb 4 enclosure.

    I use this as a game dump. Works great with Steam! Seems like you could run it over with a truck and probably not lose anything except that dope finish. It really is a pretty piece lol. Plug and play. 100% BS free. And that's a Bobo Guarantee! (Bobo Guarantee means a 100% promise that I believe what I'm saying and a 0% promise of anything else.)

    So far this hard drive has been one of the best hard drives that I've had so far. It has fallen about two or three times, but it still works, and I also appreciate the amount of USB cords that they gave me for my laptop. Being in the military I often need for my devices to work and work efficiently so while I'm traveling from country to country, this has been a great help for me

    Exactly what I wanted and needed. Small package with fast read/write speeds. Currently using this as storage for music files. All made possible with BestBuy pricing. I looked at other resellers and BestBuy simply had the best price. Competitve pricing wins everytime! Thanks BB!
