Reliable, Fast, and Stylish Storage Solution
I recently purchased the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Samsung T7 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance and quality. Right out of the box, the metallic red finish immediately stood out—it’s sleek, stylish, and feels solid in hand. Performance-wise, this SSD is impressive. The data transfer speeds are lightning-fast, making it ideal for moving large files quickly. I’ve used it extensively for backing up my work files and multimedia projects, and it handles everything with ease. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface ensures that I’m getting optimal speed without any lag. One of the standout features is the hardware encryption. I appreciate the extra layer of security it provides, especially since I’m storing sensitive information. Setting it up was straightforward, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my data is protected. I use this SSD in my Tesla, and it has been through some extreme conditions—from scorching hot days to freezing cold ones. Despite the temperature fluctuations, the T7 has performed flawlessly, proving its durability and reliability. Although this is a refurbished product, you wouldn’t know it by looking at or using it. It functions as if it were brand new, and I haven’t encountered any issues. Geek Squad did an excellent job ensuring the quality and reliability of this device. Overall, if you’re in the market for a portable SSD that’s fast, secure, and can withstand various conditions, I highly recommend the Samsung T7. It’s a fantastic value, especially considering it’s certified refurbished, and it has quickly become an essential part of my tech setup.

Great when the price is right, using for external
First, as others have mentioned this drive is bare, you must connect it to a computer and initialize the drive and format it first. (Ease of use 2 stars because of Geek Squad) Second, my drive came with very old firmware, Samsung magician software just a few clicks to update it. (Reports of this drive slowing down over time with the original firmware) Third, I did not receive all original materials, just the drive and a USB A to C cable about 1.5 ft long. Last, according to Samsung magician the drive I received had 6.1 TB of total written data. So around 3 total fill ups for the 2tb drive. I got this for the sole purpose of expanding my Xbox series X storage, this was one of the cheapest 2TB options I found due to the geek refurb. It is over kill for a Xbox as it can't write or read to it at this drives max specification (get a T5 if it's cheaper, this was cheaper at the time I purchased $170), when moving games from internal to this it writes at 2.4Gbps (68GB game Titan Fall 2, moves to this drive in about 4 minutes, and it moves back to internal in the same time load times for games on it rarely notice any delay over internal drive) also note that only NON X/S games can be played directly from this.
