Hello, everyone! This is Tejaswa Dogney, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the Samsung T7 1TB External Solid State Drive (Portable SSD) in Blue. If you find my review helpful, please consider marking it as such to help others.

Pros:

Lightweight design makes it highly portable and easy to carry around.
The SSD is very durable, ensuring safe storage of your data on the go.

Remarkably cool operation, as it remains cool even during extended use.
First and foremost, it’s crucial to understand that the Samsung T7 is an SSD, not an HDD. While SSDs may appear expensive compared to HDDs, the performance difference is substantial. Before making a decision, I recommend researching the differences between the two to ensure it fits your needs and budget.

We travel to shoots; this is the best and lightest HD. I would recommend this product

I use a Windows PC for gaming and Macbook Pro 16 for moving files around.
I bought this drive to serve both of those systems. Here are my thoughts:

– It’s pretty compact in size. As big as a debit card and as thick as 4 cards approx. Comes with a type-c to type-c and a type-c to type-a cable. Both cables are short and rated as USB 3.2 Gen 2. For an SSD that costs ₹17,000, that’s expected.
– Although I would really appreciate it if Samsung included a case for the drive and cables, what they’ve already provided is just fine.
– Check for photos compared to my mouse and keyboard.

Windows (core i7, 16GB 3200 MHz, GTX 1080) :
– Check photos for windows speeds benchmarks and copying a file.
– My Windows PC doesn’t have a type-c connector, let alone 3.2 gen 2. I am having to restrict the drive to be used in the USB 3.0 configuration. Results, you ask? Well, the read and write speeds are hampered severely. While the disk management test shows close to 500 Mbps, I actually got ~320Mbps while copying a big file to the drive and back.
– While gaming, I tested Witcher 3, Metro Exodus, Borderlands 3, Batman Arkham Knight, and Horizon Zero Dawn (PC). Every game had practically 1-2 seconds of load time. Not more. All except Horizon Zero Dawn (which is not optimized for SSD on a PC as of August 2020).

MacBook Pro 16″ macOS:
– My Macbook Pro though, that’s a completely different story. The Macbook Pro 16 utilizes the Thunderbolt 3 protocol and scales the USB 3.1/3.2 gen 1/2 inside itself. I’m using a paid version of Microsoft’s NTFS for Mac so I can use this drive back and forth. On the macOS, not just the speed test was closer to 1Gbps, even the copying speed was the same (from and to the drive). I copied an almost 15 GB file in less than 15 seconds.
– I don’t do any R/W heavy tasks on my Macbook apart from transferring files here and there. So copying/pasting is probably the only thing I’ll use this drive for Macbook and it performs phenomenally.
– Check photos for macOS speeds benchmarks and copying a file, and I gotta say, this is where it shines.

Conclusion:
– The price is pretty steep for the drive so your decision to get it or not should depend on whether you have the right system that utilizes the right protocol or not.
– If you don’t have the USB 3.2 Gen 2, there are other better SSD alternatives. Like Seagate One Touch, or any USB 3.0 SSD for that matter. It’ll cost much cheaper, technically should provide you the speed your PC is at and reasonably high speeds.
– If you have a compatible device, a deep enough pocket, and if you need such speeds then definitely go for it.

PS:
– Amazon, WTF is wrong with you people? I buy a ₹17,000/- product and you cannot package it decently?
– The SSD box was crushed while shipping. What in the crap do you think justifies shipping delicate products like these without a box and then ship freaking body lotion in thick boxes?
– I’ve attached pictures, please don’t repeat this mistake. FU, correct this nonsense.

Fortunately, the hard drive wasn’t damaged and even the seal was intact. So I cut off only one start.

Quiet, quick, perfect
