    I've been using the Samsung T5's for about 6 to 7 years now and I really thought those were the best and super fast but wow have times changed. I'm sure when I bought them, they were top tier of SSD's. I just recently purchased the T7 and its a huge change in speed. (For me anyway) Same reliability as always and have never had any issues with the samsung SSD. Fast and reliable and now adding the rubberized coating to make them a little more resistant to scratches and drops, etc... I'm sure these will now last me a good 6,8+ years. My only gripe is they're pretty expensive compared to other brands but since I've used them for a while now, they have not let me down. So I'll continue to pay a little extra I guess to get what I want and need.

    Bought so I could play BG3 on my laptop - though it has only been a few weeks, it has worked well so far! Before buying, I worried using an external drive would cause some lag in-game; I'm excited to say everything is running smoothly and quickly! I've got over 40 hours of gaming on BG3 with no issues. My whole Steam library has been moved onto the Samsung external drive to free up space. I wish I had bought something like this earlier. My laptop only has one USB port, which I use for my wireless mouse...so it's a lifesaver that this external drive comes with both a Type C-to-C and Type C-to-A wire! It meant I could uses the C-to-C cable to attach the external drive, and still have my USB port free to use my mouse!

    Wow! I love this. This is a beast. A real game changer in storing all my files and music. I can store so much on this. and I can carry it around, and if I accidently drop it, it will still work, and all my file folders are still there and accessible.

    We use these SSD's for our productions on a monthly basis. The rugged design is crucial for us when sending out drives to clients after a shoot, and these SSD's always perform phenomenally! Quick, fast, slim, and efficient.

    This drive came with cables that allow connections to either USB-A or USB-C ports on the host machine. The drive is lightweight and very fast. I use this drive to backup my NAS device. It is small enough to store in a fire safe for off-line storage.

    I am someone who is careful of my data/photographs and use external devices as backup for my Computer and data needs. This drive is an SSD .. small, compact, quiet -- and it does work (I did accomplish my backup of data in an appropriate length of time - and it was verified because I always do a random check afterwards, and the files were there and usable. All in all, I'm pleased so far (and it's not been that long owned), but I suspect this will be a way for me to rotate inbetween other hard drive backups so that I don't risk losing the files I have created. COST was also appropriate - I purchased while on sale on Best Buy and it was comparable to (slightly higher) than traditional HDD Drives. (NOTE -- I can't verify the water resistance factor -- I'm not yet ready to dunk hard drives into water to prove that!)

    This drive is fast, compact, and easy to use. It comes with both USB-A and USB-C cables so you can connect it to your system as long as you have an open port. It supports Mac and Windows and was pretty much just plug and play.
