I have had 2 of the Samsung T5 500GB drives for over 2 years now and they have been great.
Very reliable and had no problems reading on multiple devices and OS platforms.
Recently I purchased the newer T7500GB model which is little larger but is even quicker.
So far there have been no issues – so I have to assume that it is just as good.
I would recommend the Samsung as I have friends who have used other manufacturers products and had issues with compatibility across different systems and devices when you just need it to work!
Amazing that such a small devise has so much storage. I record music and our sound engineer recommended this for moving large music files around..
Does the job really well
The hard drive on my Mac was filling up, largely because of photos, so I bought this to free up some space and keep the photos stored externally. The first time I plugged the T7 into my Mac, I formatted to MAC OS extended journal. I then copied the photo library onto it and made this the system library. It works a treat and you wouldn’t know there was an external SSD in use. It’s smooth and fast. Using the correct format has improved functionality too, particularly iCloud back up and sharing photos, which were lost when using the pre-installed ex-fat format. Very highly recommended.
I the T7 as part of my iPhone 15 Pro Max SmallRig phone rig, as iOS allows you to record directly to an SSD. Combined with the Blackmagic Camera app, you have a fantastic means of content creation. No Airdrop required, just plug the SSD in and start editing.
Excellent, quick, and small hard drive when on the move.
The Samsung T7 is an excellent, quick, and small hard drive when on the move.
I shoot many photos in a day when out on shoots and need to back them up quickly on site via my Macbook. The T7 does this very well. Being so small it also packs into my camera bag taking up little space.
I’ve found the Samsung drives to be reliable and haven’t had a problem with the ones I own.
Top quality, sturdy and speedy
If you want a USB drive that feels well protected and can sit nicely in most small spaces without sliding (thanks to rubber exterior) then this model is just the job. Getting data on and off it is reasonably nippy, and it works well as a virtual server. I currently have one of these attached directly to the USB input of my FritzBox router, where it serves my large digital music collection wirelessly to my iPad which I use to send to my Sonos Amp. So far, it is flawless.
My old iMac is now blistering fast.
I purchased this drive to act as an external Hard Drive on my iMac which had become a bit ponderous to say the least. I decided to go down the external route it was easy and I am no nurd I am 88 years old and I did the whole thing in about 3 hours. My iMac is now faster than it was when new in 2013.
Can’t comment on reliability as I’ve not owned it for long enough, but for all the other reasons (size – both physical and storage, price), would highly recommend this device. Suddenly, I need to throw away all of those humming HDs!
Compact & Quick Storage
I use these for video stuff (amateur level editing)…. it runs a little hot when editing video clips together but I’m told this is normal. I’ve got three of them and they all do the same and all do the job well.
Great quality produc
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that size as fits in my hand and has an impressive capacity. Fast, compact and comes with two cables. Looks smooth and sleek.
Samsung is generally a name associated with quality products and this drive is no exception. Packaged nicely and easy to set up. Transfer speeds are impressive even with high quality video files. It is obvious too, that despite its sleek and generally robust appearance, it won’t take kindly to any abuse so don’t drop it often would be my advice. But if you are using it to back files on a desktop or similar then this ideal. Overall, nothing to dislike. Recommended.
I was looking for a small SSD to use with my PS5. This one seemed to be well recommended on review sites and the 1TB capacity is fine for my needs. The SSD itself is about the size of a credit card, may be marginally larger, and only a few mm’s thick. It looks and feels well made and according to the manufacturers is drop resistant up to 2m which should be suitable for most people’s use.
The write speed is ok – I downloaded about 200GB which took approx 25 mins. I haven’t re-loaded onto the PS5 yet so can’t comment on that speed.
Got a new Mac and needed a small but reliable SSD that was 100% compatible. This is one of the best on the market, sturdy ( really tough) and small and lightweight. Speed is good as I’m using it as second hard drive with different softwares installed. Not five stars only for the cable, could be longer and more flexible.
phenomenal little ssd
love everything about it, its so small yet it holds so much media and although its not the fastest Samsung drive i really don’t think it matters it is absolutely rapid. i love i
Love this
Ok not cheap but I have purchased a new MacBook Air and wanted to extend storage etc so wasn’t going to to compromise any data being it photos or work
This is compact and very tough I find very fast and very easy to set up .
Will buy another for my desktop
Very Good SSD Drive
I wanted a SSD portable drive. I greatly dislike WD products , so I had the choice of Samsung or Seagate. I chose the Samsung T7 based on price and I am very pleased with it. It does everything it is supposed to do and at the stated speeds. (used with Win 11).
Many of you will be wondering if editing is doable on these. I can tell you that using internal drives with operating systems can be slow but have found creating video files on this hard drive perfect for my needs.
I save my editing and videos to the drive so I can plug into a number of machines and pick up where I left off (if set up right). Really useful and have found the compact size a great added bonus.
Amazing
This is rugged compact, fast and looks the part, after formatting for my Mac, it works like a dream.
The build quality gives my confidence when throwing it in my backpack. And the 2T space works so well, it’s great to edit directly off in Final Cut Pro.
So it’s safe to say I love this price of kit.
Grab one you can’t go wrong
Been using this for a week now and its great to use. Wanted a external hard drive to connect to my iPad to transfer pictures and videos to free space up on my iPad and its so easy. Connect it to my iPad via the USBC lead that comes with it and the iPad recognises the drive straight away then transfer everything straight to the drive. Transfer speeds are great, transferred over 10gb and completed it within a few minutes. Amazing for what I need it for, thumbs up.
Fast transfer from a iMac with Thunderbolt 3
Fast transfer of data being backed up using the enclosed USB C to C cable and the Thunderbolt 3 socket
3/4 mins to transfer 256gb of music photos videos and documents
Runs hot but as it’s only on for 5 mins it’s fine.
Price varies widely on Amazon UK – I bought the bigger size in the US for 2/3rd of UK price for my M2 Mac Mini there.
It too runs hot but maybe faster to transfer 150gb back up.
I also bought a case for travelling.
Very Durable!
I have been using this as a backup drive for important files regularly now for quite a while. I’ve had no problems with it! Due to its external rubber coating it’s very durable. I have dropped it multiple times and have had no issues! It looks very smart and another bonus is that due to the rubber coating it doesn’t move about on my desk like ones of a similar size would due to their weight!
Technology moves on, doesn't it?
My old external backup HDD started making worrying noises so it was time to replace before it inevitably failed on the same day as my actual computer decided to have an issue. A tiny solid state (and therefore no moving parts) HDD which draws power via USB has twice the capacity of the legacy backup drive.
Samsung Portable SSD T7: The Ultimate Storage Marvel!
The Samsung Portable SSD T7 (MU-PC1T0T/WW) is hands down the best hard drive I have ever had the pleasure of using.
First and foremost, the speed of this SSD is mind-blowing.

It has revolutionized the way I work with large files and has made data backup a breeze.
The compact and sleek design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly portable. It fits comfortably in my pocket, making it the ideal companion for on-the-go professionals and creative individuals.
The build quality is exceptional, as expected from Samsung. It feels solid and durable, giving me confidence in its reliability for long-term use.
Compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen.2 ensures versatility and fast connections with various devices. Whether I’m working on my laptop, transferring files to my desktop, or even using it with my gaming console, the Samsung T7 performs flawlessly.
In summary, the Samsung Portable SSD T7 is a game-changer in the world of storage solutions. It’s the epitome of speed, portability, and reliability, making it an absolute must-have for anyone in need of high-performance storage. Without a doubt, a well-deserved 5-star rating for this exceptional hard drive!
Exactly what I needed
Very small and portable, plenty of storage, and my machine can read and write to it very rapidly with no frustrating delays. I can watch video files straight from this hard drive without any lagging. Exactly what I wanted. I might buy two.
Love this portable hard drive
I needed a high capacity external hard drive that was small enough to transport and light weight too.
This was a perfect choice and hasn’t let me down.
Read and Write speeds are fast. The item is small and lightweight which is great for travelling with if you need to backup large files out and about.
I would recommend this product.
I love this thing, tiny, lovely looking ( I have the red one and yes I know looks don’t matter with this type of product but it just looks great!). Normally I have an NVME drive in a separate USB 3 or TB enclosure and run it through TB as I have a Macstudio, but I also have Windows laptops that don’t have superspeed connections that I use the drives with so I thought this time I would give one of these a go. I also bought the little groovy case for protection. It’s still super small (did I mention that?) so not much more to it than one of the USBC NVME enclosures, feels a little sturdier and I get decent speeds. I know that the price of storage has fallen but as of this review on 14th Sept it’s 65.99 for the 1 TB, that’s madness compared to where we have been before and actually not that far removed from the price of making one yourself. Ok, so the downside compared to making one yourself is it seems to be so well made you can’t swap it out for another drive yourself. There may be a way but it doesn’t seem obvious to me, but that is the only downside. I imagine that’s for protection because it feels sturdy as heck, and literally fits in the palm of my hand. The question is if I had the same need would I buy one again or do as I usually do and put one together myself? Well unless you have TB speeds or 3.2×2 where you would feel the benefit from making a faster drive this would do you more than fine. It reached the advertised speeds, is super sturdy, super small, lovely looking and tactile with a marginal price difference between it and making one yourself with the same speed. So, unless you need to swap out the disks then go for it, If you do then think for a minute and decide if the many plus points outweigh the need. I have no regrets about buying this but then it is for a particular use case.
Smashing storage device, running games of it perfectly.
Bought a PC with a rather small 180gb SSD in it. Bought this to actually install games, and they are all running like a charm. Comes with a USB-A to USB-C adapter so no worries there, installed GTA V on it straight out the box and couldn’t be happier.
Great product!!
Great drive, great size, great value
I used this to breath life into an older iMac. I installed the Mac OS on this drive, and it’s transformed the Mac from an almost unusable machine to something that is a pleasure to use.
The fact that it came with both USB-A and USB-C was superb too.
Great SSD drive
I have purchased multiple Shield T7 drives and they’ve been rock solid. Used primarily as part of my mobile recording rig, so getting moved around and hostels about constantly and never had any issues. Recommended.
So much better than expected
I was trying to decide which portable SSD to buy for my MacBook M1, and like I usually do I research things until I’m blue in the face. This is an amazing bit of kit, transfer speeds are very fast. I film a lot of 4k video and shoot 60mp raw files, so fast transfer speeds and reliability are my top criteria, and I wasn’t disappointed. Also liked the rubber casing, which is an added bonus for the extra bit of protection. Highly recommended and wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. Infact I’ll be ordering another for a back up. 10/10 Samsung.
Fast and compact storage
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
Impressive!
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!
A very affordable truly pocket sized portable drive, and quick as well.
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 already owned 1 of these, and it’s time to get a second. I literally just plug n play them into a spare USB slot, and keep them in there. They show up as a removable drive, but keep their letter, so I use them in cahoots with OBS to record my live stream in both 1440p and 4K.
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.

Overall, I am very happy with the Samsung T7 SSD. It is a great way to back up my data and it has performed flawlessly
This 2TB external hard drive is small and compact, making it a great option for those who need a lot of storage but don’t have much space.
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).
