- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2021Color: RedVerified PurchaseI was pleasantly surprised by the performance of those USB – C SSD by Samsung. This model supports USB 3.2 GEN 2. However my MacBook Stone Age model only supports USB 3.0. Despite that, performance is excellent. The drive is about 40% full and still performs the way it did when it was new. I did have to format it once when I first had it; I don’t remember if I installed a firmware update or not. But when I first got the drive, after using it for a short time, performance dropped significantly. A reformat, maybe a firmware update, and the drive has been flawless since. It is small, lightweight, and Portable. It does get a touch warm but I never had to worry about it overheating. Wakes from sleep quickly. I use it as an external drive to supplant my iTunes and movie library. In that regard, it works excellent.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024Color: RedVerified PurchaseI like this product because it does what I needed it to do easitly and with little hassle. I don't like it because it's Samsung - some of their products are less than reliable and I probably won't buy them. Example: Samsung refrigereator. Bought a new one, it lasted five years to the date (when the warranty expired) and was declared not repairable by the local repair agency used by Samsung. So, I limit my approval of samsung ONLY to this particular product.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2020Color: RedVerified PurchaseThis thing is awesome! Super lightweight, can pack in anywhere for traveling, and it doesnt get very warm at all. I use it on my Xbox One S. Load times for my games that I transferred to it were cut drastically. No longer am I the last player to load into a match or "fast travel" to a mission. My only regret is that I didnt buy the bigger storage version and put all my games on it. Deffinately recommend for any gamer looking to reduce load in times.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2022Color: RedVerified PurchaseSo far so good. The drive is really fast with the USB-C to USB-C connection and I haven't had any problems with overheating. I'm only using it as a Time Machine Back-Up so it doesn't get much use on a daily basis. Whether this helps or not I don't know.
My complaint with the vendor is that the drive they sent me was "used like new" (see the attached photo) not a new drive (which is what I ordered). While the drive really does look "like new" to me this feels a little bit like a "bait and switch" and I suggested to the vendor they might want to give me a small rebate on the price because of this.
I have gone back and forth with the vendor and they either don't see this as a problem, or don't care, or ... I'm tempted to send it back and get another one (although its not clear if I'll then just get another "used like new" drive). I've had good look with other Samsung solid state drives so I'm hoping this one won't do something like crap out the day after the return window closes. We'll see.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020Color: RedVerified PurchaseNo heat issues at all used in Tesla Model Y for dashcam recording. There was a firmware update for it (Aug 2020) when initially plugged into my Windows 10 PC, which installed without issue.
The drive is much more compact than a regular 2.5" SSD in an external case would be, and only requires a compact USB-C connection. It comes with both USB 3.2 spec USB C-C and USB A-C cables, which you'll need for top speed transfers, assuming your PC supports USB 3.2 as well. Using a cheap USB 2.0 or 3.0 spec cable may restrict you to <480 Mbps.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2024Color: RedVerified PurchaseExcellent product! fantastic.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022Color: RedVerified PurchaseI'm very impressed with this SSD. Not only is it very thin, small, and light, it is also blazingly fast. I have a recording studio, and on a traditional thumb drive, it takes almost 10 minutes to back up the files for a single project. With the T7, it's done in 2 seconds. I'm using it with a Mac Mini M1 using the Thunderbolt 3 connection. Wow! is it ever fast!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best SSD for Video Editors | Portable | Stable
Color: GrayVerified PurchaseI am an editor who works from home and this has been the best buy of 2021 for me.
I read somewhere that the T5 is better than T7. But, I found the T7 to be impeccable.
I edit and animate straight off the device. Since I have an M1 Mac that has Thunderbolt/USB-4 ports, the speeds and insane. It felt like I was editing off internal memory. Also, I save a ton of money by not having to upgrade my Mac's internal memory. Gonna bunch a bunch of these now! Please note, check the Gen of your USB port before buying. It will affect performance.
Being an SSD, I don't have to worry about placing it in the right position. So, I taped the hard disk on the back of my laptop using Command Strips and I have a mobile edit suite now! I bought the Command Strips off Amazon only. Only go for the 3M Brand.
One Note: I own a thunderbolt USB Hub (self-powered), but I always plug the T7 directly into my Mac, just in case there is a power fluctuation.
Tech Specs: I own an M1 Macbook Air, 16GB Ram, 500GB Internal Memory, 8 Core GPU and have Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
