    Great little external SS drive that is compact and lightning fast. I use it for my music library as it travels easy for DJing. Completely recommended.

    I got this SSD to use as storage while I edit my photography work. It’s really fast and so far it has been reliable. It’s easy to set up and it’s compatible with my Mac book pro!

    Lightweight with rugged construction - I'd feel comfortable throwing this in my laptop bag. The fast transfer speeds save tons of time and headache. I use this for backups of large creative projects, and the peace of mind makes this worth the extra cost.

    This was a great buy, it’s safe, fast and reliable ! I’m a photographer so this was exactly what I needed. My old back up external drive stopped working. Never buy from Amazon or any other 3rd party. Best Buy Rocks

    Fast drive, good quality, dusty if left out though

    Works just like the regular T7 but it has a rubbery case over it. Looks like it will collect dust if left out though. Works just like the original Samsung T7, very fast drive. I don't have any worries about putting data on it to store. Using the Thunderbolt 4 ports on my PC I get the full advertised speed. If you use anything else, or older USB standards you may not get the full speed. No matter what it's WAY faster than a spinning hard drive.

    I don't like to save personal photos, documents, or videos on my computer, so this external SSD is definitely worth getting. It freed up so much space on my computer. It's quick to transfer files over whether it be from my computer or my phones (iPhone and Samsung S22+ Ultra). I just wish that it was compatible with my Galaxy Tab Ultra; I haven't figured that out yet.

    This product is awesome. I was able to put thousands of photos and videos off of my phone to save space in less than two minutes. Now i can carry them anywhere to view if i need to. It's great.

    Went in for a couple of SSD drives and bought this because it was a good price compared to another drive I also purchased. Very happy with it so far. Fast transfer speeds and mounts fast. Small size and easy to transport. So far so good and very happy with it.

    This has been the best portable drive I have purchased. It is small and compact, with plenty of space. It has a very quick transfer rate, especially when transferring from other SSDs.

    I love the compact size of it. I’ve used it for several years and it’s still in very good shape. My favorite feature is that it has an app installed so you can password protect your files
