    This is my go-to external photo storage solution for macOS. It’s fast enough to quickly access my library and big enough to give me room to grow. The rugged design is a nice bonus, making it feel durable without being too bulky. If you need a reliable and speedy SSD for photos, projects, or backups, this one’s a solid pick.

    Convenience would be the key word here. The T7 is lightweight and very durable. It's great for backing up files and general storage. The speeds are much faster than expected. I recommend this purchase.

    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.

    So far, this has worked great!! I’ve had it a month now, it’s travelled with me to Europe annd back, and it does exactly what I expect it to - I store all my photos on it and edit them on my laptop. It’s fast, small, and works great!

    My partner works in content creation for small businesses and has been working off HDD’s forever. I personally have been using internal and external SSD’s for a while and finally got her on the SSD wave. She’s extremely happy about the amount of storage and speed she is able to utilize. She is able to work Lightroom and Davinci projects directly from the drive with no hiccups. The T7 shield also provides her extra security from drops, which she was most worried about. Chose this over the Sandisk after their recent controversy with the Extreme Pro SSD issues. We’re extremely satisfied with the purchase.

    A Good Backup Drive

    It took me a while to get it going for what I wanted it for, but that has nothing to do with the device itself, just Microsoft dropping support for non-cloud backups. Once I got it working it worked perfectly well. I don't leave it connected, just put it in for the new backup periodically.

    Needed to get some extra storage for my XBOX Series X and this fit the bill. My house is fairly dusty so I wanted something that could handle that environment. It's small so it's easy to place out of sight. Performance: Transferring games from the internal storage and from the 1TB expansion card to this drive I was getting between 214.26 and 226.41Gbps (Gigabits) which equates to 26.8 - 28.3 GBps (Gigabytes) with the games ranging between 500MB to 40GB. So far pretty solid drive. Samsung always makes really good products, and this tiny drive is no exception

    I realized my work computer was working too hard to handle all my files. I also wanted a backup for my cloud backup (I'm pretty OCD about my documents), so I took a chance and picked up this Samsung. I have come to really appreciate the brand after buying a 1TB and a 2TB external USB drive as well as a 2 in 1 laptop. To find a 4TB drive that is almost as thin as the 1 and 2 TB drives is impressive to me (I also on a 1TB drive that's I don't know how many years old now and it's as big as an old school dictionary and about as heavy). It's fast and is just what I was looking for.
