The compact design makes it easy to carry around, yet it feels sturdy enough to handle daily use.

it’s been excellent. Transfer speeds are really fast thanks to USB 3.2 Gen 2, and handling large files or backups feels effortless. The titanium grey finish looks sleek and premium, and the build feels tough enough to toss in a bag. It stays cool during heavy transfers, and compatibility with multiple devices is great. Overall, a super reliable, high‑speed portable SSD that’s become a core part of my workflow.

I have several of these drives now, which I've been using for nearly 5 years and which I use for Time Machine for my Mac and as storage for a lot of valuable archive material, including large audio and video files. These drives are superb - incredibly fast, reliable and astonishingly small. Previously doing back up or storing archive material was so laborious because the various hard drives I had were always runnig out of space and reorganising files between multiple drives was insanely slow. These drives solve that problem - everything is so quick and easy now.

Didn't encounter any issues except I had to reformat the SSD to GUID before convert it to APFS system. Speed was impressive but the size is a bit of a letdown after using Micron Crucial SSD, a bit heavier too.

So I have an external HDD for my laptop that has failed a couple of times now. I'm getting fed up of running Dsk chk as it's a 4TB drive and takes about 3 days to complete! I decided it was finally time to bite the bullet and get an SSD, as I suspect the damage gets done because the drive gets moved or knocked about. The data on it is mostly games and non-essentials but I'd rather not lose it all. This is a very expensive drive for me to consider buying but I was swayed by the positive reviews, so I was anxious about what I'd get! I must say, I love how small and light it is! It's ideal for me, as I am always moving it about; there are no internal moving parts to knock about and it's so much less clunky than my HDD. This means I've actually been able to pop it into a pouch on the back on my monitor, which really improves mobility and security. I've not had a chance to use it excessively yet and I can't speak to it's longevity but it's nice and speedy. With its compact and light build, it'd be ideal for a range of uses, including for photographers, music in your car or phone backups - anything requiring portability really. The one flaw I have identified so far is not with the drive but with the packaging. The drive is sat loose in a small card tray (also loose) in the top of the inner box, with a cardboard 'lid' over it. This box then sits inside a card sleeve. The issue with this is that when you open the very swish outer box and slide the inner box out of the sleeve, if you aren't holding it the right way up, the cardboard 'lid' flaps open and your very expensive new drive takes a nosedive to the floor - or into edge of the coffee table in my case. This seems pretty stupid to me, however it does mean I can vouch for the drive's advertised impact/fall resistance. In summary, I would recommend this drive but I'd recommend you sit down to unpackage it!

The Samsung T7 Portable SSD has exceeded my expectations. Transfer speeds are incredibly fast — large video files move in seconds, and working directly off the drive feels almost as smooth as using my internal SSD. Perfect for editing projects on the go. The size is another big plus: it’s small, lightweight, and fits easily in a pocket or laptop sleeve. Despite its compact form, it feels solid and well-built, with a sleek metal casing that also helps dissipate heat. Setup was simple — just plug and play. Samsung’s software for password protection and encryption is also a nice bonus for extra security. One small note: since it’s so tiny and light, it’s easy to misplace, so I recommend keeping it in a case or pouch. Other than that, no complaints

Absolutely Magnificent 💯 works like a Dream and vert fast.

After being let down by a similar item (from a non-brand) I am so glad I decided to pay the money for this item rather than cheaper brands/options - it goes to show you get exactly what you pay for! I wanted an SSD that would work directly from my phone, to help back-up photos and videos etc. and this item works without any flaws. It looks very sleek, is a great size and is as easy to connect to my phone as it is to plug in a charger.
