- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)

Product Manuals
A: MAC or Windows it uses the exFAT file system which means no reformatting needed for each type of computer since it works seamlessly between them.
A: It should work. I have used a Samsung t7 to backup my MacBook Pro and have been able to boot from the backup.
Q: I can use whit a ps5 console ???
A: As of April 2021 update, can move PS5 games to it but have to move it back to play. Can play PS4 games from the drive
A: I am currently using it without encryption on both my phone and computer.
A: You may need Apple's Lightning-to-USB cable, or Lightning-to-USB 3 camera adapter. For more info on how to connect the drive to ipad read on here- https://www.imore.com/how-use-external-hard-drives-your-iphone-or-ipad
Q: Can I use this to back up photos on my iphone12? If so, do I need to purchase a special cable?
A: You can’t do that directly but you can through a computer, I.e. the SSD does not connect directly to the iPhone but to the computer. You connect the iPhone to the computer, the SSD to the computer, and then transfer the files to the SSD just as if you were transferring to the computer’s internal hard drive.
A: Bob, the ports speeds between 3.0 vs 3.1 is 2X. So speeds will always be dependent on the port and the processor speeds of the device it's plugged into. The max read/write speeds of the Samsung T7 are 1,050/1,000MB/s, respectively. Hope this helps
A: It's a disk drive, not a computer!

Super fast and reliable.
This a very good ssd for both mac or Windows, I use this for my new iMac 24” that only has 256GB, it’s very fast, light, premium looking design. It’s a must to have, 1tb for only about $145, that’s a steal.

Great product
I’ve been using the Samsung SSD for a few months now, and it’s been a game-changer in terms of speed and reliability. Whether you’re upgrading from a traditional HDD or replacing an older SSD, the performance difference is noticeable right away. Boot times are almost instant, applications load quickly, and file transfers are extremely fast. Samsung’s SSDs are known for their durability and long lifespan, and this one lives up to that reputation. It also comes with Samsung’s Magician software, which is helpful for monitoring drive health, updating firmware, and optimizing performance. The only downside is that it’s slightly pricier than some competing brands, but the premium feels justified given the performance and reliability. If you’re looking for a high-quality SSD for gaming, content creation, or general productivity, Samsung is a solid choice. Rating: 9/10

Love my Samsung T7
Needed a faster drive as photos and videos are taking up more space as resolution increases and my data was trapped in the cloud somewhere. I bought this drive thinking it was a temporary fix and it turned out to be a godsend. There are faster drives available BUT… many are rated at 25%-30% of the total read/write cycles of this drive meaning they’ll last 25%-30% of the estimated drive life. It’s fast enough to do anything an intermediate user would need to use with the benefit of password protection and encryption. Just make sure you don’t lose your password if you activate one, not sure if you can recover it if that were to happen. Password protection and 750-850 Read/write speeds on my Mac (750 read on my M1/850 read on my Intel model) make it 10x faster than my old external WD HDD and I’m future proofed for years to come. Excellent value and performance. I usually shoot for the stars when buying new components but this purchase had NO Remorse associated with it. I actually want to gift one to everyone I know who has had issues recovering media from their phones or clouds. It can download entire albums in record time depending on the size of your library. I’d highly recommend this product and will probably be buying 1-2 more in the near future
