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

This works to store dash cam footage and if you want to play your own music (mp3s). You just have partition the drive. Works perfectly!

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.

The Samsung T7 Portable SSD 500GB is perfect for backing up my iMac (Late 2013). My backup of a little over 99GB took about 95 minutes with ExFat format via a usb-A port but when I reformat to APFS format, the same backup took only 75 minutes. I am happy with that performance until I upgrade to an iMac with Thunderbolt 3 speed.

Im very impressed with this SSD. Not only is it very thin, small, and light, it is also blazingly fast. I have a recording studio, and on a traditional thumb drive, it takes almost 10 minutes to back up the files for a single project. With the T7, its done in 2 seconds. Im using it with a Mac Mini M1 using the Thunderbolt 3 connection. Wow! is it ever fast!

Works good

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.

I use this for my timemachine backup with my 16 Macbook pro. The T7 is extremely fast and so light and compact! I love this thing.

I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of those USB – C SSD by Samsung. This model supports USB 3.2 GEN 2. However my MacBook Stone Age model only supports USB 3.0. Despite that, performance is excellent. The drive is about 40% full and still performs the way it did when it was new. I did have to format it once when I first had it; I don’t remember if I installed a firmware update or not. But when I first got the drive, after using it for a short time, performance dropped significantly. A reformat, maybe a firmware update, and the drive has been flawless since. It is small, lightweight, and Portable. It does get a touch warm but I never had to worry about it overheating. Wakes from sleep quickly. I use it as an external drive to supplant my iTunes and movie library. In that regard, it works excellent.

Used this for sentry mode on Tesla and so far works great with no issues.

Was charged restocking fee on a defective item!
