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

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.

For those wondering, I got a read and write speed of roughly 650mbps on my macbook air 2020 with M1 chip. I think the drive is great, but I do not like having to unbox a box out of a box out of a box out of a box out of... you get the idea. TOO MANY BOXES! Completely unnecessary and wasteful.

Nice small SSD, with very fast write and read speeds. Bought this for my xbox series.

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.

I got this during a sale for around 75$ and Ive been very happy with the purchase. Its quite portable (small size) and very slim. Just plug and go, no complications. Very fast transfer speeds as well.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
