Best SSD For Price.
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Ease of use, Portable, PriceCons mentioned:FitThis is by far the easiest recommendation i have ever had to make because of how awesome the drive is. The obvious cool thing about this drive is the size. Its small and thin and can even fit in my wallet if I wanted to because it has the length and width profile of a credit card. Granted, it is a little wider than its predecessor the T5 but the difference does not affect its portability. Note that it is also thinner than the T5.Even along with the included cables it fits into any pocket without being conspicuous. This makes it very easy to travel with and use on the go. The include cables are a huge plus for me because it helps the drive deliver on performance. True almost everything is USB C now and most people have cables they can use with it, but I found that using the included cables gives a slight boost in performance. The performance of this drive is amazing. Its read and write times were almost twice as fast as the T5 which was already plenty fast. The software utility included is intuitive and easy to use. It allows for either a password or a pin which also adds to its ease of use and portability. Whether I am connected to my phone, tablet or computer it is comforting to know that my files are secure and cannot be altered without my permission. The price is also very reasonable considering the protection you get. i got the 2TB which might be overkill for most but it comes in 500GB and 1TB also. It has been worth the investment for me because I know that even if I misplace it, my intellectual property and personal items will still be protected since it will only open as a read-only drive without the password. To sum up, its sleek, fast and secure and also a must have for anyone with any digital information to protect.

The T7 was the perfect fit for my PC & PS4 console
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Capacity, Ease of use, SpeedDesign: The T7 that I tested is the 2TB model. It is packed into a small metal body that is not much bigger than a standard USB flash drive in length and thickness. It has one USB-C port and feels very solidly built. It feels like it can take a lot of knocking around without suffering any ill effects. Ease of Use: The T7 is plug and play with my computer and PS4 console, just use the included cables for USB-C or USB 3.0 connection and you need do nothing more. No driver needed to be installed or downloaded for it to work on my Windows PC or PS4 console. It is very easy to use. PC Performance: I connected the T7 to my PC via the included USB-C cable and the drive was detected instantly on my Windows 10 computer. It came with a program on the drive that you can install to get firmware updates along with other management tools such as password protection and so on. I tested the speed by moving files of all sizes around and even GBs of files instantly from my internal SSD to this drive. It feels like you are working with an internal SSD or NVME which is amazing for an external drive. This is a great addition to any computer whether you need it to expand your storage, or maybe play games from it or to transfer files between machines as well. PS4 Performance: I connected the T7 to my PS4 via the included USB-C to USB-A cable and once I plugged it into the PS4 USB 3.0 port using this cable ti was detected immediately. The PS4 told me I had to format the hard drive in order to use it on there. It takes just pressing a a button on the controller and a few moments later it was now a part of the PS4 and called "extended storage." After that all new games you install will be installed on the T7 SSD and you can move games from your internal drive to the SSD as well. I tested one game by first loading it up from the internal PS4 hard drive and then moved the game over to the T& and loaded the game up and it booted up much quicker form the T7 SSD. So this is a great expansion to your console storage capacity and also boost performance of your games greatly when used in conjunction with a video game console. Speed: This device was on par with or faster than my computer's internal SATA SSD drives for the tests I did with it and much faster than my console's RPM drives. The only thing faster than this is an internal NVME drive and that is not portable or as convenient as this T7 is. It is a great addition to any device you plan to use it with. Conclusion: I see this SSD drive as the perfect expansion to any computer or gaming console. You get a huge boost in capacity with the 2TB version combined with speeds that feel like you are using an internal high speed SSD device. You cannot ask for more form an external hard drive right now. It is small in size, but big in capacity and performance.

A Perfect Portable Storage Device
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Portable, Price, SpeedI've been a fan of Samsung's portable SSDs ever since I got my first 256GB T3 drive 4 years ago. I must say, the T7 is a great upgrade. The size of the unit is roughly the size of a credit card and only 8mm thin making it so easy to slide into a pocket of your clothing or bag and take it anywhere. The built-in hardware encryption is a great feature. There is even a read-only partition on the drive that includes the installation software for when you need to access the drive on a new computer. My own personal speed tests gave 1004.6 MB/s read and 915.93 MB/s write (Blazing fast!!). The NVMe technology has certainly given this drive a leg up over the older Samsung models. The SSD also stayed cool during even extended transfer sessions. Would highly recommend. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest feedback

I’m glad to see you are loving the simplicity, portability and compatibility of the T7 Portable SSD. This T7 allows you to transfer r massive files within seconds with the incredible speed of USB 3.2 Gen 2 on the T7. The embedded PCIe NVMe technology delivers blazing fast sequential read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s, respectively, making the T7 almost twice as fast as the previous T5 model.

The Incredible Samsung T7 Portable SSD
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Portable, PriceIncredibly Tiny. The T7 is about the size of five credit cards stacked together. It will fit in that tiny jeans pocket, not that I would recommend that! Incredibly Fast. With the included USB-C to USB-C cable, this drive has amazing read and write speeds. It has market leading performance. A USB-A to USB C Cable is also included in the box for those with older computers. Incredibly Powerful. The included management software from Samsung will guide you when it comes to encrypting your data to keep it safe from local physical access from others. Incredibly Versatile. The 2TB option is enough for me to feel future proofed for several years of data, photo, video and audio backups locally as well as transporting files from location to location.

Super fast, powerful. All in the palm of my hand
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Capacity, PriceFor years I have been trying to find a solution of not having to carry around multiple or bulky memory devices. It's literally smaller than my wallet. It was a breeze to set up and now I feel so secure if I misplace. Aluminum case is sturdy and won't crack or damage from a small drop like some of my others I've purchased in the past. I was able to bring my workload home without having to lug the different devices I use there and still have my downloaded PS4 games loaded with tons more space still available. The speed loaded at the same rate from first file to file 247 I currently have loaded. I would definitely recommend and will be purchasing one for my son as well. I received this item at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

Great External Storage for Playstation
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Works great as extended storage for Playstation systems. On PS4, it's recognized right away and ready to use after formatting to the system, and games loaded onto the T7 load quickly and run smoothly. If you intend to use it only with PS4, you can save some money by getting the T5 instead, as the 3.0 USB ports on PS4 are unable to allow the T7 to reach its top transfer speeds. But if you intend to use the external ssd with the PS5, then the T7 is more worthwhile because that system can support the top transfer speeds through USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection. Tests I found online show that PS4 games stored on the T7 with PS5 load and perform just as well as when those games are stored on the system's internal storage. A worthwhile investment to play and preserve your PS4 games for the new gen.

Q: QuestionCan you use this as your backup device drive using windows 10 pc software. Or is it only for copying other files off drives.
Asked by nick.
This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - T7 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable Solid State Drive with Hardware Encryption - Metallic Red- A:Answer Yes, This is a very fast drive. I have 2 T7s, one red, one blue, and use it for full backups of 1 MAC and 1 Windows 10 Pro laptop. Both have a recovery drive so I can boot and do a full recovery. Did I say fast? If you plug into a Thunderbolt or USB 3.1 port, it is very, very fast. The T7s are faster than my Samsung T5 1TB external USB drive. I can boot into my MAC backup (using CCC) and run it like it was my main boot drive. Love these T7s from Samsung. I am always watching the price and will buy another one when the price drops.

Q: QuestionCan this be used as external storage for the ps5?
Asked by JerryWalkins.
- A:Answer Yes, but currently you can only store and play PS4 titles. It's possible that Sony will eventually update the PS5 to allow the storage of PS5 games but you will never be able to play PS5 titles from this drive. As fast as this SSD is, it's still only about a quarter the speed of the internal NVMe drive in the PS5.
