Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like the portability of this external storage device and the size. Bigger than an USB but smaller and more lightweight than the old external storage devices. I really like its reading and writing speed.

The Samsung - T7 500GB Usb 3.2 2nd Gen SSD is compatible with Samsung (ofcourse), Apple, Asus, ZTE, Oneplus......basically every device I have thrown at it. It’s very easy to use and handles file encryption very well. This device is portable, good for traveling and a a option for image, video and data storage. If you’re looking for that extra or external storage option for your sensitive documents, captured sweet moments and more that would not weigh so much on your pocket, this device is the way to go.

Well, I use this for my Galaxy Fold and iPad Pro. I initially used a flash drive before this, but I transfer large files between the two. Thus, I wanted something fast… picked it up when it was on sale. I like the speed… I like the portability of it. But I don’t think I’m getting the advertised speed of 1k read and write, however it’s insanely fast compared to my flash drive. Would I pay $99 for it, nope! But these normally go on sale… I got mine when it was $20 off. Definitely recommend it at that price point.

Great product More than enough storage for me Fast/reliable

Excellent product! Never have had any issues with it.

I can't believe how fast this thing is. and the security encryptions is amazing and reliable. I will recommend to you my friend.

Great hard drive. Small and matches our new iMac. Using it as a backup drive. Plug and play and no issues so far

is a great piece and keeps computer running fast and easy to keep it clear of junk on main computer great to store large files for sending out e mails

As my personal and school project files get larger and larger, I needed something that would transfer and save files faster than a thumb drive. I really didn't expect it to be so small and thin. But because of that it's easy to put it in a small pocket in my backpack. It's great that it comes with usb-c and usb-a cables just in case if you use one and not the other, but I have my own that's short since I don't like to use a "lengthy" cable.

The SSD is small and fast. Like really fast. This is the first time using an external SSD, and I got to say that it helped a lot in moving big files from my PC to my laptop, specially after losing a lot of data of my PC. For the price, Best Buy always charges more, but it may be worth to buy if they had a good deal in this product. This external SSD will be good enough until I get a 1 TB or a 2 TB SSD.

This Samsung SSD T7 500GB SSD, works perfectly with my MacBook Air 2017. It works perfectly with Mac OS Monetary, and the last two versions of Mac OS Big Sur. I, had major problems with my Samsung T5 SSD with photo backups, on the earlier versions of Big Sur, but now it works fine with the latest versions. The T7 however, is a different drive, and so far it is working perfectly. The speeds are noticeably faster than my old hard drive, and I am using this drive for my Time Machine backups. This drive works so, good I decided to purchase a second drive for the Windows 10 side of my Mac OS. However, you must save the files on the drive if you want to password protect it. The reason for this is that you must format this SSD on Windows in order for it to work. I, am using this Samsung T7 SSD drive on Windows 10 for Windows System Backups. This drive may not work for both System, and File backups if you do not format it correctly. There are two format file types; NFTS (Default), and exFAT on Windows 10. Depending on how you format the drive it will not work on another operating system. Look on the internet for instructions on how to format this drive for Windows, but from what I can tell you the exFAT file format works best with SSD’s and USB flash drives. One more thing to note is that I did not see any type of speed increase with this SSD drive on Windows 10, over my regular Dell hard drive, but SSD’s do last longer than hard drives depending on how many backup write saves you will be using it for.

I really like the look, speed, and ease of use, but when I run windows backup at night, I see that the drive is no longer recognized, and the led is off. I wanted this drive for automatic backups, but if it keeps disconnecting itself it's not useful.

Compact and simple. I’m using it as an external drive for the cameras on my Tesla. Video review is fast and this little guy is small enough to tuck away. Would recommend to anyone needing a fast external drive.

As a photographer I love the convince of the size of this ssd when I travel. I I can move files between laptop, phone, and tablet really fast and convenient with its type c to type c cable.

This ssd transferred 90GB game in under 7 minutes when my external hard drive took 30 minutes! So its worth it! I use it for my Xbox series S.

Works perfect with Mac OS Monetary, on my MacBook Air 2017 lab top . This SSD works faster than my hard drive on Mac OS. This review is for the Mac OS version only. I, wrote another review for Windows 10, and I can tell you it gets a little tricky on Windows, but it dose work. However, for the USB 3.0 plug in on Windows 10, you will not see any speed increase from your normal hard drive, and this drive works with both USB 3.0 and USB-C computers. Both cables are included in the box. I, believe you will only notice the speed increase on a Windows computer with a USB-C port connection, but I cannot guarantee this because I am using a USB 3.0 notebook.

Samsung has always been the premier maker of SSD Now that the prices have leveled off this drive may be a little bit more expensive than larger staples such as WD, SEA, ETC. Perfect for Time Machine and Portability.

I had no space in my desktop's SSD, so I got this because I pre-ordered the biggest flop of the year, Cyberpunk 2077, and it worked great, the SSD not the game, sadly. I installed some other games and is working well.

Would not suggest this drive to anyone been trying for awhile to get any performance out of it bought it aug last year and right out the box didn’t perform near to anything they said it would did tons of trouble shooting and nothing reads at 42 and writes at 18 what a piece of junk never buying a Samsung anything just a money sink.

It's hold everything I need it to hold for my games on my laptop that didn't come with much storage easy to take with me and play games with friends on there PCs
