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

10/10

LA MEJOR COMPRA!!! Qué T5 y blablablá, el T7 apenas se nota en mi PS5 por sus velocidades. Obvio que es levemente más lenta que el SSD integrado, pero para jugar los juegos de PS4 está maravillosa, cargas increíbles, no se sobrecalienta, todo bien

Convenient, fast, and handy. I can connect it to my phone or computer. I love that I can put it in my pocket and access stuff on my phone when Im away from the computer.

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.

Update: drive is now not working on either USB A or USB C port on multiple laptops so dropped to one star I had better luck with the Sabrent Rocket Nano 512GB USB 3.2 so if you have a dell laptop maybe try that one. I have no non-dell PCs to try it on but have 3 Dell laptops and it is not working on any of them. =============== I leave this T7 drive plugged in all the time as a hard disk extension on a work PC (cant upgrade PC hard disk) so wanted fast transfer speeds. But after all windows, Dell, and Samsung upgrades are applied it still does not work on USB C port on an older Dell Precision 7520. Disconnects quickly after connect or never connects when plugged into the USB C port. This is older PC HW so maybe the USB C port on the laptop is the issue. This was a review to warn others with older PCs. The USB C port does work fine to drive a 4K 60Hz display (but display worked fine on the real display port connector so thought USB C port could be used for a fast hard drive. Maybe Dell (?) had to compromise on the USB C driver update and picked display port emulation part of the USB C feature set over hard drive working well. Probably a good choice for most people as not too many display port to HDMI cables available that do 4K @ 60Hz . It also has had problems with random disconnects but think that was due to the silicon cover I had bought to cover the drive contributing to the overheating issue this drive seems to have. I removed cover as it is not a spinning disk so cover was really used for cosmetic reasons. So USB 3.1 speeds on a traditional USB port (good thing both cables are included) will have to be good enough.

Dont buy this thing if you plan to use it for gaming. It constantly crashes everytime you try to do anything and makes your pc do weird things. It might work for you but for me it didnt.

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.

Works good

Works fine! Im not gaming on it but seems to be as fast as old moving parts internal drive. I love extending the live of old computers and this did the job.

No heat issues at all used in Tesla Model Y for dashcam recording. There was a firmware update for it (Aug 2020) when initially plugged into my Windows 10 PC, which installed without issue. The drive is much more compact than a regular 2.5 SSD in an external case would be, and only requires a compact USB-C connection. It comes with both USB 3.2 spec USB C-C and USB A-C cables, which youll need for top speed transfers, assuming your PC supports USB 3.2 as well. Using a cheap USB 2.0 or 3.0 spec cable may restrict you to <480 Mbps.
