Great little external drive, I wanted some more storage for a Mac mini and this is compact, nicely made and really quite quick. I had speed issues using and older drive caddy with a sata ssd in it and swapping to this elimated all those problems
I bought this as a backup device for my Mac it works really well is compact and should last a long time. It made my time machine backup appear much quicker and at under 100 it’s a win win.
Great speed, works with other C type cables if you are me and forget where you placed the original ones (make sure it’s at least one of the thicker kind of cables) and the original cables do have ridiculous transfer speed. It does get a bit warm when I send 50GB at once and it handles it very steadily and fast, so hey, it is a mini portable device, not a space rocket :)) Highly recommended!
I needed a decent hard drive to store my music catalogue for DJ-ing. This offering from Samsung looked to be my best option. It’s a nice compact size, has a rubberised outer & hopefully will be durable & reliable. Only time will tell but so far, I’m impressed. Its also a high speed drive, so transferring files is pretty quick.
I decided to recover some much needed space on my computer which meant transferring 260gb+ of photos, videos, music and random other files back into my daughter possession.
Her birthday was approaching, when I saw this on Amazon, and the price at the time was excellent.
This drive gets five stars all day long from me.
File transfer speed is rapid, item is very much pocket size and all in a really quite attractive anodized aluminium outer shell. It comes complete with C type to C type data cable, and I was more than happy to give it as a present.
And more to the point will be more than happy to buy again.
I purchased a T7 to go alongside my T5, but doubled my storage and went with the 1tb version. USB 3.2 so rapid speeds on file transfer which was necessary for me. Rather than buying the T7 that has the silicone shield case (cost a fortune) I instead bought a silicone sleeve on eBay for a few quid. Now I have a nice, more protected product to take on the go with me. Excellent item.
I liked the fact that it has additional security with the fingerprint reader/scanner. I feel my files are safer compared to my previous HDD. Oh..and it’s quite fast too. I wish it has an inbuilt keyring holder like the SanDisk Extreme does. However this is now my favourite external solid state drive. Delivery came on time too
Looks and feels sturdy. I have not tested it in any harsh environment but it did survive a few meter tall drops to hard concrete without damage, internally or otherwise. Fast read and write speeds.
Perfect and a good deal. It is so small and light it feels like a debit card in your pocket. Super fast and comes with a usb and a usb-c cable so you can use on multiple devices. Couldn’t ask for more.
Nice quality feel, seems to work fine for my purposes of recording constant dashcam & security video, no issues to report after several months continuous use. High temperature capability useful when operating in a closed vehicle recording security camera video 24/7.
Product is great. It’s exactly what it says on the box. It’s a (very) fast SSD to use for storage or whatever. It’s durable (I’ve dropped it a few times and it’s still fine) comes with a USB C to USB C and USB B cable
PSSD really neat size and love the colour as it contrasts with the other ext hard disc – not the most important thing I know but useful not to have to stick labels on everything. As to function – so far so good. Plus it arrived much faster than estimated which was very helpful.
This HD is the best I’ve ever bought. I wish they had them in 4TB or more. But the speed, simplicity and physical size just out-rules anything I’ve ever had before. I use it to run big Music Production and Video projects on a M1 Max MacBook Pro. Haven’t had a single lag yet. Where as doing the same work through my normal LaCie hard drive is a painstaking experience. Should have bought this years ago!
Depending on my mood, I either upload the video file in 1, directly to the usual social places, or edit it, and upload that – the point being these drives are yet to let me down at all, and together with OBS, have yet to skip a beat (my settings are 16-24mbps on 1440, and 32-40mbps on 4K – both 60fps). Literally not 1 dropped frame in many hundreds of hours of content.
I can highly recommend them for anyone else too lazy to open up their computer case, and upgrade their internal drives (that’s my excuse anyway, due to all the rigmarole that it entails, with reformatting and reinstalling stuff..)
What’s also great, I can use one of these to very quickly transfer large video files to take on visits and showcase my work, and again, I use 2 of these, together with 1 older model, side by side, to give 3 high speed drives on the end of USB cables.
It obviously goes without saying to ensure your computer’s USB connectors are up to date and not ancient, or these things will not work very well, like with anything.
The drive is incredibly small and light weight so carrying it around isn’t a problem, also there is no worry about data loss if the drive is accidentally dropped unlike a normal HDD.
There is nothing at all I can say against the product, it may be a little costly but for peace of mind it’s worth every penny.
I easily installed the software for password and 256 bit encryption.
I formatted for NTFS, as I am using as an external backup for a Win11 PC.
Write speed is a solid 500MBs for large files and about half that for small files. Not bad for encrypted files.
The drive got warm but not enough to cause any kind of concern.
Nice drive at a reasonable cost, as I only need a 1TB drive.

It’s light and small fits in your pocket and has an impressive read/write speed
Small, light and durable. Uses USB-C, comes with both types of USB cable which is very handy. Is plug and play, very quite and has fast loading/transfer rates.
Compact and lightweight easy to use. What’s not to like. Very happy with this produc
Love it, it’s great for backing up drone footage and action camera’s when out on the field.
For an external ssd drive it’s very fast. I’m using it to run a 10 yer old iMac. 40 seconds to boot as opposed to 3 minutes. Programs open instantly no bouncing icons. Excellent drive.
Own several of these. Have never let me down!
Super fast and great alternative to upgrading expensive internal Storage on laptops.
Adding such easy access solid state storage to my Asus laptop has been a great boon to me. By contemporary standards 1TB of data is not a great deal, but this is more than compensated for by its speed.
Thoroughly satisfied with the drive – I may save up for another.
After changing my desktop PC hard-drive to an SSD recently the difference is massive in terms of speed. So, I decided to buy a portable one to use for my backup solution and the difference is massive! My old 1Tb WD portable hard-drive is a good solution but can take 12+ hours to complete a backup. This does the job in less than 1 hour! Really simple to use and also check that it’s not fake via the Samsung magician software etc.
I’ve now decided to buy a 2nd one so I can use them in an alternative way for back-ups then I never have a solution that could let me down badly. Definitely recommend this – plus the seller was excellent with it sent out v quick via Prime and well packaged too. It does mean if you’re not in the postie can just pop it through the letterbox without casing any damage either.
Used for photo and video storage to free up space on mobile phone.
Easy to use, lightweight Tec
Works perfectly with my MacBook as a time machine backup drive.
A bit slow to start transferring big folders but after that ok.easy to set up files and folders structure even if you have 5k of them ,Like i
I have a 2017 iMac with a 1TB Fusion Drive and 16GB of RAM. Originally I used VMware to run Windows and started having performance issues (with Windows) around 2019. As part of a company change we moved to Parallels in 2021, however I continued to experiance slow Windows performance. The main issue I was experiencing was constant 100% Disk in Task Manager.
I Googled everything, tried numerous configuration ‘tweaks’ suggested by others all to no avail. Even Parallels have a knowledge base article tackling this but nothing they suggested worked.
By contrast, my MacBook Air run Windows beautifully with just 8GB RAM. The fact that it has an SSD drive has long had me thinking that the problem with my iMac could be the Fusion Drive, but interestingly little or no info can be found to confirm this and my ‘Mac’ runs fine, it’s only Windows I have issues with.
I eventually gave up and purchased a Samsung T7 500GB drive just to test my theory. Needless to say it has completely resolved my issue. Having migrated both Windows 10 & 11 VMs to the drive, both are now running about as fast as I could possibly want. I use a USB-C connection and read/write speeds are brilliant! Neat little thing as well. Let’s hope it has longevity
There is only one disadavantage of using this ssd, Im not sure if it is my computers problem but if the ssd it too close to the computer it will interfere with the wifi connections, so just make sure you place the ssd a bit futher to your computer or laptop. Other than that, its all very good, very fast, it transfered a 15GB file in under a minute for me and its super lightweigh
Having had to return a non-branded SSD because copied files were corrupted/unreadable I was nervous that the same would happen with this item. But my fears were utterly unfounded.
I could copy across at 55mb/s, which was about right for my ancient NAS drive. So 500gb of data went onto this Samsung T7 really quickly and without any problems – I’ve only dip tested about 20 of the several hundred mp4 files, but no issues identified.
It’s a very lightweight unit, about the size of a credit card – a couple of mm taller and thicker if you’re that worried about size.
Could not recommend more.
Compact and lightweight, 1TB and the SSD really shows its speed especially if your pc has a usb-c po
This drive was recommended to me by a major manufacturer of professional audio equipment.
It is an excellent SSD drive. Plug and forget. It’s also incredibly small and compact so doesn’t take up lots of desk space. I liked it so much I immediately bought another (the cool colours also help you identify it when tucked away near the computer). Oh, and I managed to drop it with no ill effects so it’s pretty robust too (thank goodness).
Having got that out of the way, my god it’s fast. Fast and stays fast. I had 5TB Segate USB 3 drive which I bought because it was quicker than my last solid state hard drive which lasted all of 38 seconds when connected to Mac Studio when it fried. Although the Segate was reliable the time it took for searches became a joke, as well as the time it took to save large files. Whereas the Mac would save at a blink of an eye, the Segate would generate the busy bar or pizza wheel. But this SAMSUNG T7 is as fast as the Mac solid state drive. There is absolutely no loss of speed. It sleeps instantly when task is finished at starts within a mili second. When I need more storage I will certainly buy another one.
The read and write performance is impressive, with average speeds of 869 MB/s for writes and 881.40 MB/s for reads when connected via USB-C.
These speeds are much faster than my previous external hard drive, which uses older 2.5 hard disk technology. While I haven’t checked the exact speeds, I’m happy as long as the drive is able to quickly transfer my backup files from my MacBook and has enough space for them.
I bought this SSD to improve the usability of my Photos Library on my MacBook M1, and it works well with Apple M1 and M2 products. While it’s too early to tell how reliable the drive will be, I’m confident in its quality since it’s a Samsung product.
Samsung drive has won numerious yearly awards for performance, price and size.
One potential downside is that the drive doesn’t come with any protective cover or case, so you might want to consider buying a travel case if you plan to take it on the go.
Additionally, the software that Samsung provides with the drive isn’t very useful and isn’t supported on Macs, although it does work well on Windows.
Overall, this is a great external hard drive and I believe it’s worth the price I paid (just over 142 on Amazon during a promotion).
My drive is almost full and the read and write performance is great. I’m getting on average 869 MB/s Write and 881.40 MB/s Read which is connected by USB-C.
I purchased the SSD as I wanted better usability for my Photos Library on my MacBook Pro, as I was running a 1.9TB Photos Library from a HDD …which was not really useable.
Time will tell on its reliability, but with it being Samsung branded I have very little concerns it will fail anytime soon…however I have it backed up just in case anything does goes wrong.
Can seem expensive, but actually cheaper than the same capacity of USB memory sticks, whether 1, 2, or 4. Surely also faster and more stable.
Obviously metal casing makes the T7 SSD Drive more solid too. And although small, less likely to be misplaced than memory stickS.
Overall, so far a good purchase. Time will tell, but promising.
