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

It works like it is supposed to it come package nicely as well.

No 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 youll 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.

The Samsung T7 Portable SSD 500GB is perfect for backing up my iMac (Late 2013). My backup of a little over 99GB took about 95 minutes with ExFat format via a usb-A port but when I reformat to APFS format, the same backup took only 75 minutes. I am happy with that performance until I upgrade to an iMac with Thunderbolt 3 speed.

I love this SSD! File storage security is important to me. I keep my important data in 3-5 places and this Samsung external drive is one that I will trust.

I 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.

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

I have 3 of these. They are extremely high quality and fast. I bought the T7 because of the advertised speed of data transfer. This is true, but you must have the newest generation of USB 3 Generation 2 in order to get the transfer rate. Otherwise my transfer rate with traditional 3.0 usb was about 200, which is still extremely fast.

Nice small SSD, with very fast write and read speeds. Bought this for my xbox series.

Loved it. Its small, thin, light weight, and fast as it should.

I already own one and I love it. My kids download all their pictures and videos to it from their phones and laptops
