Been using the T5 SSD’s for some time. This works just as good for me but with perhaps a bit more speed. Using two as mirrored drives from a Mac and they work great.

Very happy with my purchase. The device is small but holds a ton of my data. I can put it in my pocket between classes and easily load my backed up data to any machine I’m using.

I have had the T7 portable ssd for over a year not and absolutely no issues to report. I have saved all of my Steam game to this ssd and it has had zero problem handling anything thrown at it.

Saves space on my laptop.

I have three of these, a black, gold, and blue. Easy to identify. Extremely tiny which makes travel a breeze. No spinning disk means it can take an inadvertent bump or drop without issue. Performance is fantastic being an SSD. I edit video in Premiere Pro and huge catalogs of raw DNG files in Lightroom and PS with no hiccups whatsoever and no overheating. Not long ago I was lugging around big, heavy, Lacie RAID arrays that needed external power. Now I get the performance and space in the palm of my hand. Highly recommended.

I’ll be mounting this to a Tilta cage (coming soon) at the time of this review.

If you were going to get the T5, maybe you should think about getting the T7 instead. Faster performance. Same compact design. 1TB is just the perfect size of storage for my workflow.

The T7 is a USB 3.2 (Gen2) drive that is super light and super small. It is swift (10Gbps), assuming you have a compatible USB 3.2 port. It is roughly the size of a credit card and fits almost anywhere! It features password security that encrypts the drive and keeps the contents safe, so it is perfect if you have sensitive or confidential data, or work in an environment where data must be protected. I work in the government healthcare field, so this drive is a must. The drive offers 256bit AES hardware encryption. The only downside to the password protection (and the reason for my 4-star review instead of five) is that it requires Samsung’s software to be installed on the computer you are using to access this drive. In other words, the hardware encryption is dependent on software to enter the password to decrypt the drive. This software requirement severely limits where you can use the drive, and requires you to have administrative rights on every computer to install the software. Without the software, the drive will not unlock. Likewise, if you forget your password, there is no way to recover it, and the data on the drive is lost. These two downsides are the only negative to an otherwise almost perfect USB drive. If Samsung could figure out a way to build the password protection into the hardware of the device, bypassing the software unlocking, it would be perfect. Samsung offers the same drive with a fingerprint reader that is hardware-based and does unlock the drive without the need for the software (other than initial device setup). In any event, the non-touch version of the T7 is excellent if you only plan to use the drive on computers that you own. For the price, you get a high-speed drive plus data protection. Other comparable devices cost about the same but don’t offer the data security that the T7 does. Speedwise, short data transfers are amazingly fast on the T7. In fact, it blows the T5 model out of the water. On larger file transfers, things start to equalize between the T7 and T5 as the write speeds on the T7 slow after the device exceeds its cache. The drive comes in different sizes to meet your needs, 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB. The drive comes with two USB cables: a C-C and an A-C. If you need a fast, secure drive for personal or business storage, you can’t go wrong with the T7. If you plan to travel with the drive, you should consider the T7 touch model.

I bought this through the Samsung financing program and it’s been such a great SSD. It transfer so fast and the type C is so useful.

I have not used this drive long enough to give my opinion. I do think the indicator lite should be on the opposite side of the cord.

Using this Samsung 7 to store a large portion of my digitized film negatives. No problems, works fine with Windows 10.

I work with a Red Camera and digital stills all day all the time and this was a blessing to have to make off loading during the day much quicker then any other drive out there. And portable.. Id say a must if your off loading during productions.

Talk about amazing right out of the box. The Samsung T7 SSD is lightweight, extremely portable, and easy to work with. I have been using the Samsung SSD pretty much every day to save all my kids photos, videos and any other documents that may I need. The Samsung SSD is so versatile that it has pretty much eliminated the need for me to use a laptop to transfer what I need to and from my phone to the SSD. I just plug the SSD in to my Samsung Note 10+ and move everything over to the hard drive, that way I keep all my stuff secure and my phone memory empty and when I need to access my stuff I can plug it into either my phone, my Samsung TV or if I really need to edit something I can just plug and play into my laptop. The setup process is extremely simple and anyone can pretty much use this right out of the box. This is truly a plug and play hard drive. The transfer speed to and from the hard drive are lightning fast, although some larger files do take a bit longer depending on the size but it is definitely faster than your conventional hard drive. The Samsung SSD is truly an amazing little piece of technology. The SSD is about the size of a credit card so I am able to carry it anywhere with me and another amazing feature that I noticed on the Samsung T7 is that it does not heat up like your conventional hard drives due to Samsung’s new built in thermal control feature. My other portable hard drive that I still have and still use sometimes starts to heat up after using it for a bit, but not the Samsung T7. Love my Samsung T7 SSD.
