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

Very fast, easy to operate.

Awesome palm-sized portable SSD. Works great, super fast.

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.

I was able to install a linux distribution successfully using the usb-c connection. After about two weeks the drive was unreadable. It was not mishandled, dropped or shutdown improperly. It could not be formatted or re-initialized.

Color Red T7 is actually some shade of Terra Cotta (light Orange-Red), not actually Red. Write Speed is higher than Samsung T5 @ 787.4 MB/s but quite lower than the Sandisk Extreme PRO External @913.2 MB/s, Read speed 878 .9 comparable to Sandisk Extreme PRO External 886.7 MB/s. (Both were formatted in APFS with no encryption) No heat, or burning heat as other reviewer complained, juts mildly warm as it suppose to be. May be because I am using MacBook Pro and no Samsung encryption driver. APFS encryption works perfectly okay, not much difference in speed and no extra heat. Overall good deal for current price of $79.99, not the full price of 109.99 for 500GB, anything more than 79.99 I would suggest Sandisk Extreme PRO External or Crucial 500GB X8 Portable SSD.

Videographer/Photographer who bought this for use at home editing station transferring .jpg, RAW, and MP4 files for storage and retrieval. This SSD is ok. Its small, lightweight, has decent storage capability. I purchased one back in August and it worked fine for about a month to maybe six weeks. Not particularly fast, but fast enough for me. Randomly started having issues causing my laptop and home desktop to not operate properly. It disconnects and reconnects constantly. And it causes all my other plugged in devices to do the same. Got to a point where I couldnt even eject the thing the correct way without problems. Im seriously disappointed as I spent over $80 on something that has proven to be more of a hassle than a help to me. Recent reviews seem generally mixed. Dont be like me and get this just because its cheaper than the 2TB T5 which is widely reported to be way better. Buyer beware.

My computer would not recognize the drive.

Backing up using time machine takes less than an hour for 30/35gbs.

Articulo NUNCA FUE ENTREGADO Pero el chofer lo califico como entregado, no se porque :/

Updated : a deep scan recovery tools was able to do a 27 hour scan and recover the missing data. Turns out the default file system has no journaling enabled therefore it was unable to gracefully recover the data. Highly recommend reformatting after receiving the drive. Since reformatting no data lose between many different mounts and unmounts. Received today, went to test it. Copied files from computer A to Samsung T7 drive, copied files from drive to computer B. Move files from computer b to Samsung drive safe eject and plug into computer A all b files missing. Tried all major data recovery tools files are no longer present lost 3 weeks of research. While I dont need the research, it still not an acceptable loss; if this was family photos, dont destroy your data go another route.
