Samsung - T7 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Portable SSD with Hardware Encryption - Indigo Blue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a solid drive (no pun intended). Seriously, this drive is a champ. I have the T5 and it too is a workhorse. It's the reason I bought the T7. Transfers are quick. It is compact and dependable. I have had other drives, but these are speedy and reliable. I've had the T7 since 2020, and the T5 since 2018. I use my T5 for graphics and my T7 for music and videos. Love my drives. Looking to upgrade here soon because I need more space.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before the Samsung T7, my digital workflow was a tangled mess of slower external hard drives and a constant battle for internal storage on my laptop. As a creative professional who juggles large photo libraries, 4K video projects, and massive design files, speed and reliability aren't just conveniences—they're essential. The Portable SSD T7 hasn't just been an upgrade; it has fundamentally streamlined my entire process. Blazing-Fast Speed That Actually Matters The advertised speeds of up to 1,050 \text{ MB/s} aren't just numbers on a box. Transferring a 50 GB folder of raw video footage, a task that used to be my cue to go make coffee, now finishes in under a minute. The real magic, however, is editing directly from the drive. I can scrub through 4K timelines in Adobe Premiere Pro and edit high-resolution photos in Lightroom with zero lag or stuttering. The T7 performs as if it were an internal drive, freeing up my laptop's precious SSD space for applications and operating system files. It has effectively turned my ultra-portable laptop into a mobile editing powerhouse. Elegant Design Meets Real-World Durability The T7 is a masterclass in industrial design. Its sleek, gray aluminum unibody is smaller than a credit card and weighs next to nothing. It slips effortlessly into my pocket or the smallest compartment of my camera bag. But don't let its size fool you; it feels incredibly solid and durable. The shock-resistant build gives me peace of mind when I'm working on location or commuting. Unlike my old, clunky mechanical drives, I never worry about a small bump or jostle corrupting my critical project files. Simple, Secure, and Seamless Samsung has made this device incredibly user-friendly. It was plug-and-play right out of the box, and the included USB-C to C and USB-C to A cables mean I'm always ready to connect, whether to my modern MacBook or an older desktop PC. The optional password protection with AES 256-bit hardware encryption is a fantastic feature for protecting sensitive client work, adding a layer of professional security that is easy to set up and non-intrusive in day-to-day use. Final Verdict The Samsung Portable SSD T7 isn't just a storage device; it's a productivity multiplier. It's the reliable, pocket-sized workhorse that holds my active projects, my portfolio, and my essential backups. It has removed bottlenecks I didn't even realize were slowing me down. If you're a student, a creative, a professional, or anyone who values their time and their data, the T7 is one of the best investments you can make for your digital life. It's truly become the indispensable and trustworthy hub for everything I create.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to use with my Galaxy phone. I take a lot of photos and wanted a local device to back them up in case of phone failure or loss. My first backup was of about 3800 photos and I was impressed with the blazing speed and minimal effect on my phone battery charge state.
