    Gamer Approved

    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!

    I bought this device, I didn’t write the review before because I want to be sure it works as says. It is fast, safe, even you can use a password. By the way, days ago it fall off in a shallow water, just dried it and worked properly. It survived to the water and the downfall. I recommend it to everybody. I will buy other, with more capacity.

    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.

    The Samsug T7 has worked extremely well for me - but was even better was the service I received from the sales person I had at the Rockaway Store - George Balko was extremely helpful and friendly - he was able to answer all my questions and was very pleasant to do business with - he should be compliment - he is a very friendly and professional representative of Best Buy!

    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.
