Works flawlessly! Fingerprint security ready properly 100% of the time, the negative reviews are the fault of Samsung and not the reviewers due to thefact the link to follow within the software to download the app is from another model without the touch feature and will not recognize the unit, make sure you download the correct app from the playstore (the one specifically for the T-7 touch with the picture of the fingerprint in the icon) and it all works on the phone and the computer with no error message! Lost one star on "ease of use" section for this, other than that its simple!

I shoot real estate pictures and am on the go all the time and now, after purchasing this SSD, I get my work done before I get home. Super fast and works great with my 16" MacBookPro!

Saved my life when MacBook Pro died suddenly and catastrophically. Small, powerful, secure. Works. Time will tell about durability but ssd should hold up.

This external SDD is so slim. I love it. It easily fits in my laptop bag. It's great that the device came with USB-C and USB-A in the box for those of us who haven't made the commitment to USB-C. It is also super fast, I transferred 2 TB worth of Time Machine back ups on to the device and it took less than hour. The figure print reader seems secure but the second time I plugged it and and forgot to touch my figure to it, I freaked out because my Mac then didn't recognized the drive. I like the feature and the reader is fast. I could do without the blue light, it is very bright and when time machine is syncing overnight I can see the blue glow from the device. It times out after a while but I wish there was a way to control this light through the app they make you download to program your fingerprint.

The Samsung T7 (2TB) External USB 3.2 SSD Drive is amazingly fast for backing up files, The security options available on this drive make it a good choice for travel situations. Small (credit card size and about a quarter inch thick) and consequently is very portable...

Absolutely fantastic SSD, fast, secure, the fingerprint reader works great for me and it allows for iPad to use this with security on since there is no iOS software to use it with just the password . .

This product is quite slim and futuristic. Cant believe they put 2 TB in that small thing. Setting up was easy and data transfer rate was good though that depends on the cable and the port used.

T7 Touch 2TB Very Fast Good Value External SSD

Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.

This is a compact, aesthetically pleasing, well-made drive that is capacious and fast. All that has been said in other reviews.
Now that prices have come down some, it is also a very good value and cost effective at $360. (The 1TB T5 was recently about $180.
The T7 is the same cost per TB and adds the fingerprint reader)
Re speed, I know I am not getting the most of its potential because my devices are all 2+ years old.
However, I find the T7 about twice as fast as the T5 transferring files from the device's internal storage to the SSD. (The T5 is about twice as fast as moving from internal storage to an SD card.)
I am very pleased with this product and Best Buy's order fulfilment.

Great Speed for Reads & Writes. Compact and Sturdy

Able to sustain over 380MB/Sec both Read and Write. The limitation is my SATA Buss and SSD "Root Disk" that is either sending the data or receiving the data.
I bought this to perform quick short term backups of my home system prior to performing potentially dangerous computer maintenance. I have a 12 TB "Spinning Disk" for daily backups, for emergencies and "Oops" events, but having Fresh Full just before a new BIOS or Firmware update or new "Root Drive" swap-out gives me an added level of security and a speedy restore if it comes to that.
I have chosen not to engage the Encryption nor the finger print reader. My fingers have been scratched and marred over the years and I generally don't have consistent luck with any finger print reader. If security is enabled, the Samsung software can allow for one to open the drive with either a password or the fingerprint mechanism.

I do Photography and Videography for small events and this SSD allows me to offload my content faster than ever before, and with the secure authentication of the fingerprint reader I am confident my clients data is always secure.

Samsung makes excellent SSD's. This external SSD is no exception.
I have owned some of their T5 external drives over the years with no problems. They are all built like tanks. After purchasing a new HP Spectre X360 laptop with an even faster internal SSD than my previous laptop, I bought the T7. I can definitely see that the T7 transfers files faster than the T5. Was it worth the extra money? Probably not for my needs, but when the T7 went on sale for a little more than a T5,,I could not resist. The fingerprint reader is a nice feature.
Highly recommended. I just wish they made the T7 in the same red color as the T5. It is stunning, but at least I can easily differentiate my black T7 Touch from my red T5.

BASED ON MY CASUAL TIMING OBSERVATIONS OF DIFFERENT EXTERNAL SSD DRIVES, SAMSUNG HAS THE FASTEST EXTERNAL SSD DRIVES. THIS ONE WORKS BEAUTIFULLY. AESTHETICALLY, THE SQUARE BLUE OPERATING LIGHT IS ATTRACTIVE.

Device is great & software works fine. The only issue is that it won’t allow you to boot to it if the software isn’t already on the device you’re booting on
