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.

I like this product because it does what I needed it to do easitly and with little hassle. I don't like it because it's Samsung - some of their products are less than reliable and I probably won't buy them. Example: Samsung refrigereator. Bought a new one, it lasted five years to the date (when the warranty expired) and was declared not repairable by the local repair agency used by Samsung. So, I limit my approval of samsung ONLY to this particular product.

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.

So far so good. The drive is really fast with the USB-C to USB-C connection and I haven't had any problems with overheating. I'm only using it as a Time Machine Back-Up so it doesn't get much use on a daily basis. Whether this helps or not I don't know. My complaint with the vendor is that the drive they sent me was "used like new" (see the attached photo) not a new drive (which is what I ordered). While the drive really does look "like new" to me this feels a little bit like a "bait and switch" and I suggested to the vendor they might want to give me a small rebate on the price because of this. I have gone back and forth with the vendor and they either don't see this as a problem, or don't care, or ... I'm tempted to send it back and get another one (although its not clear if I'll then just get another "used like new" drive). I've had good look with other Samsung solid state drives so I'm hoping this one won't do something like crap out the day after the return window closes. We'll see.

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 you'll 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.

I'm 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, it's done in 2 seconds. I'm using it with a Mac Mini M1 using the Thunderbolt 3 connection. Wow! is it ever fast!

I bought this little portable SSD to back up my files incase my laptop dies. The drive is very small (about the size of a credit card, and maybe 5mm thick), and works extremely well — the 200+mb/s copy speeds mean I was able to back up my entire laptop in just a few minutes (as a side note, as someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, it's funny holding in the palm of my hand a storage device that has more space than every computer I have ever owned combined). Definitely recommended, though it is so small I worry about losing it or accidentally leaving it behind somewhere!

Mein Mac Mini (late 2014) läuft noch top aber er ist dank verbauter HDD schrecklich träge. Der (nicht einfache) Einbau einer SSD kostet beim Händler zwischen 170 und 200 Euro. Also fand ich auf Youtube einen ausländischen Blogger der mit dem alten T5 Modell von Samsung für ordentlichen Schub auf einen alten iMac gesorgt hat. Diese SSD gab es zum top-Preis bei den Amazon Prime Days - also erst mal zugeschlagen. Sie ist mini und die Verarbeitung aus Metall top. Erste Hürde: die SSD wurde per USB-A am Mac und auch am Windows-Rechner angeschlossen. Auf keinem der beiden erkannt - auch nicht mit der original Samsung Software. Also habe ich sie mit dem USB-C an einem neueres Macbook Pro angeschloßen. Dort wurde sie sofort erkannt. Die Frage ist halt: wenn man kein solches Gerät besitzt, wie kann man die SSD vorbereiten... dazu habe ich keine Antwort. Dann wird die SSD im AFPS-Format formatiert. Man schließt sie am Mac Mini an, fährt diesen runter und drückt ALT+CMD+R - das Weltkugelsymbol erscheint und man wartet auf das Menu. Dann hat man die Möglichkeit das neueste OS herunterzuladen und zu installieren. Kann etwas länger dauern. Nach der ersten Installation fährt der Mac runter und dann wieder hoch und man landet wieder auf der alten HDD. Man sollte dann die SSD entfernen, neu einsetzen und runterfahren. Bei Hochfahren drückt man ALT und bekommt die HDD und die SSD zu sehen und man setzt die Installation auf der SSD fort. Beim nächsten Hochfahren sollte man dann in den Einstellungen unter Startvolume die SSD wählen und das wars. Die Geschwindigkeit ist enorm! Hochfahren innerhalb von wenigen Sekunden. Programme sind sofort geöffnet. Einzige Mankos: ein USB-Port fällt weg, man hat ein Kabel und ein Gerätchen mehr auf dem Tisch liegen und evtl. Bluetooth-Dongles haben dann eine kleinere Reichweite. Trotzdem läuft diese mini SSD top. Bin sehr zufrieden. Alter Mac gerettet und viel Geld gesparrt.

Muy bueno para resolver problemas de espacio en iPhone 14. De ser posible compra el que tiene protección de huella digital para que lo puedas desbloquear sin necesidad de computadora.
