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

Its nice, and much speedier than my old Western Digital HD. Doesnt have any kind of back-up software either. Just a pass-word security set-up. When I say speedy though, it is only relative. I only have USB 3.1 on my computer. At best, I can run about 150-200 Mbps. Quite often though it is less than 50. It seems to dislike certain data types more than others. The download speeds are extremely variable. Maybe virus scan software? Dont know.

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.

This thing is awesome! Super lightweight, can pack in anywhere for traveling, and it doesnt get very warm at all. I use it on my Xbox One S. Load times for my games that I transferred to it were cut drastically. No longer am I the last player to load into a match or fast travel to a mission. My only regret is that I didnt buy the bigger storage version and put all my games on it. Deffinately recommend for any gamer looking to reduce load in times.

This drive is 10x faster than my 12 year old Seagate TimeMachine drive of the same capacity. Its hard to believe after 30 years of Macs just how fast data transfer has become. I remember spending hours backing up my hd to 50 floppies and listening to the grind, grind... Here I have 10,000 times the storage space as this floppies and can carry it in a shirt pocket rather than a shoe box.

Bought this hard drive cuz it was realtively cheap and compact, and I totally regret it. This hard drive has not only crashed on me MULTIPLE times, but at the MOST crucial. I hate this hard drive so much. It constantly loses files, and then randomly disconnects. No bumps or touches. Ill go to click it, and a blank window comes up. I cant even disconnect it! The worst. Hard drive. Ever.

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

I wrote and erased a few hundred GB to the drive over three months, and after I started my laptop this morning, the entire drive was completely unusable. I cant write to or read it from Windows 1122H2, Ubuntu, or Android 12. Irreplaceable data is now lost forever due to Samsungs incompetence.

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.

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.

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
