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

I love it save gaming and pictures and videos hell faster

For those wondering, I got a read and write speed of roughly 650mbps on my macbook air 2020 with M1 chip. I think the drive is great, but I do not like having to unbox a box out of a box out of a box out of a box out of... you get the idea. TOO MANY BOXES! Completely unnecessary and wasteful.

Runs Hot. Makes Me Nervous. About 3 months in, theres been no functional problems.

Incredibly fast and portable. Not much else to say

So far so good. The drive is really fast with the USB-C to USB-C connection and I havent had any problems with overheating. Im only using it as a Time Machine Back-Up so it doesnt get much use on a daily basis. Whether this helps or not I dont 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 dont see this as a problem, or dont care, or ... Im tempted to send it back and get another one (although its not clear if Ill then just get another used like new drive). Ive had good look with other Samsung solid state drives so Im hoping this one wont do something like crap out the day after the return window closes. Well see.

Nice speeds, looks clean runs well. affordable. Yeah SSD ftw

I purchased this to use for recording my PC gameplay directly to it (Nvidia Shadowplay) and Video Editing directly from it. It is very fast and is great for Youtube video editing in Adobe Premier. The only Con I have is the storage size! They say you get what you pay for.. I paid more for the Samsung brand and got less storage. Overall, I would recommend but go a size up from the size you actually need! Does not over heat and it is about the size of a credit card. I am happy with my purchase and may buy a bigger one in future! Blazing fast with large videos and I am using it with a USB 2.0 port on my Optiplex 990 :). Subscribe to “Mista CDawg” on YouTube!

I bought it as a SSD for my dash cam in a Tesla Model 3. At least 4 times a week, i get an error message on my cars screen. I have to unplug the SSD from the car USB several times until I no longer get a error message. Disappointed.

Works fine, in my case MacBook Pro 16 2019 with USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 (Apple claims 3.1 is AKA 3.2), IRL speed for moving files from the MacBook Pro onto the drive is ~350 MB/s. I did erase the drive and converted the file system to APFS, so this might account for the discrepancy in the I/O metrics. I was moving a total transfer load of 350GB with a combination of small files (1k-4mb) and large files (5gb - 150gb). Overall way much faster than USB3, however not quite 1GB/s as advertised, still this was well within my expectations. Several buyers mentioned the unit runs hot, however from experience with other external drives over the years, I think it runs about as hot as any other device Ive previously owned, so not a big deal IMO.

Very fast, easy to operate.
