    I bought this as a memory storage device for my first trip to El Salvador, and had over 2,450+ photos taken, and approximately 150+ videos,, and i believe I used about 20% of the space. This is the best portable hard drive i have ever utilized. Extremely lightning fast transfer speeds, I've never carried so much storage space within such a small item. Its unbelievable how much storage is able to be stored nowadays.

    I'm using this for Apple Time Machine. It's fast and reliable. With other drives backup have taken forever and caused slowness. Not with this Samsung T7 SSD drive. Backups happen quickly and there's no noticeable slowdown with the mac.

    Good Overall. Autosynch would be a Helpful Option

    Overall, I really like it. It is easy to setup & easy to use. And it is pretty fast. 1 thing that would make it even better would be if it came with a way to Synch so that Additions or Modifications to the original source (my PC) would be automatically ID'd and applied the External Drive. Instead of my having to Copy ALL or ask myself, "Now, What did I actually do today? Did I create or edit any Word docs today, etc.?

    Best 4TB SSD for general use. It's small, simple, and reliable. The rubber cover picks up some dust, but it's overall an upgrade over the T5.

    This is my second T7 2TB external HD. I use a blue one for TimeMachine backups of a MacBook Air and a black one for external storage of iTunes backups of two iPhones and two iPads done on the MacBook Air. I like the rugged rubber-covered drives. The drives a plenty fast for backups and provide air gapped storage. I have been using Samsung SSD drives since they first became available. I have at least 12 total and have ever had a problem.
