SAMSUNG T7 500GB, Portable SSD, up to 1050MB/s, USB 3.2 Gen2, Gaming, Students, & Professionals, External Solid State Drive (MU-PC2T0R/AM), Red

Had a great experience with the T5 and is much better than any storage medium Ive ever used. The newer T7 is slightly longer but thinner with better specs. Worth the price tag when on a sale. Havent had a single issue with them for years and theyve outlasted HDDs, SSDs, and MicroSDs. Easy to travel with and good for daily use. Recommended.

I needed a portable, fast SSD to put my large res photos and videos on to edit from. This thing is fast! 500GB was relatively cheap...I will get more of these!

This drive will disconnect randomly and you will lose your files and possibly suffer from corruption.

I was hesitant because of the reviews and this is the first time buying it anyway went really bad. The external SSD gets hot - beyond warm. It will transfer files at 500mbps at most for a few seconds then dives to 40-70 as it heats within seconds it gets worse dropping to 10-20 and Im connected via USB 3.2 Gen 2 I formatted NTFS and exFAT didnt improve it at all.

Color Red T7 is actually some shade of Terra Cotta (light Orange-Red), not actually Red. Write Speed is higher than Samsung T5 @ 787.4 MB/s but quite lower than the Sandisk Extreme PRO External @913.2 MB/s, Read speed 878 .9 comparable to Sandisk Extreme PRO External 886.7 MB/s. (Both were formatted in APFS with no encryption) No heat, or burning heat as other reviewer complained, juts mildly warm as it suppose to be. May be because I am using MacBook Pro and no Samsung encryption driver. APFS encryption works perfectly okay, not much difference in speed and no extra heat. Overall good deal for current price of $79.99, not the full price of 109.99 for 500GB, anything more than 79.99 I would suggest Sandisk Extreme PRO External or Crucial 500GB X8 Portable SSD.

Incapable of working with the BMPCC 6k. I wrongly assumed that the T7 generation of SSD would be able to hold up to the Samsung T5. Plain and simple this drive does not work with the BMPCC 6k

I have backed up my Quicken data for years to flash drives. My office used this Samsung drive for data backup until recently. I asked if I could try it with my computer. My, oh, my, it backed up Quicken so quickly I had to order one for myself. Actually, I ended up ordering a second one as I alternate backing up to the two drives. I am so glad I discovered this especially after finding out that flash drives are not as reliable when used over a long period of time. I did buy bumpers to put over these solid state external drives to protect them. I have All Travel and GetGear I think that is the name). I will have to say I prefer the GetGear look, but both brands seem to do the job just fine.

This is the third Samsung T-SSD drive that I own. I have been very happy with them and have never had a problem. Yes they do get a little warm if you are running a continuous backup that is going to take a long time, but I guess most drives of this type will. Only way to avoid this would be if they were in a housing with a fan

So far so good. Just using as a backup drive for my music projects. Samsung magician won’t recognize it supposedly because it’s an external drive. Usbc cord doesn’t seem to stay in the pc good so it disconnects and reconnects over and over if the cord isn’t stabilized. Could be my motherboard b450 Msi tomahawk max.

Very portable, nicely made, easy to use and effective.
