Samsung T7 Touch 1TB Up to 1,050MB/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps, Type-C) External Solid State Drive (Portable SSD) Black (MU-PC1T0K)

The product is a very lightweight and ideal for traveling and carrying along. But one thing that irk me is whether the product delivered to me is genuine or a copy. There should be an authenticity sticker or a way to check the product if it’s genuine. It’s very important as if the delivered item is a copy, there’s no way to get warranty out of it. And since the return policy does not permit beyond a short period, there’s likely that we are given a fake one. I don’t say that it’s not genuine, but the chances can’t be overlooked. I couldn’t get the item to check in the Samsung official website.

If anyone thinks the same as I do, kindly let me know ways to authenticate the item.

Works perfectly

Everything in the old review is accurate, but only for the default format you get the drive in- EXFAT. I have changed it to Mac OS Extended and NTFS and it works amazing in both formats, never faced that force eject issue. I was wrong about speeds too. They are more faster now. Actually for larger files, earlier, it was about the same speed as of my WD hard drive with moving parts(i.e, not ssd), when T7 was in EXFAT. I do not know why EXFAT was not working in MacOS, cause I have other drives (non-ssd) with EXFAT and they seem to work fine. After changing the format, the speeds are way better for any file size.

EXFAT works with both MacOS and NTFS without an issue. You cannot use the drive in MacOS without additional software, if you are using NTFS partition(mostly not free if you are using multiple drives with NTFS). Vice versa with windows if you are using Mac OS extended. I think it might be a software issue rather than a hardware one thatEXFAT is not working and hope they fix it. I have tried with EXFAT in two MacBook pro’s and it was the same issue. I have also tried with two different T7’s(I got one replaced thinking it might have been a defected piece), but there were the same issues again.

Old Review:
I have got this 5 days back. It started behaving weirdly since 2 days. It always asks me to ‘force eject'(Attached a video). It says other program is using it, even though there is no background app running other than Samsung ssd’s app, I even closed that and it’s the same result. Suddenly yesterday after unlocking with fingerprint the drive itself was not being shown. It happened for a long time like that. When I insert, it shows the read only disk(which won’t have my files as it is expected to), but when I unlock it, it doesn’t show the disk with my files. luckily it shown afterwards, I donot exactly remember what I did, I think I erased it for it to work. luckily I had a backup. I wanted to use this with very important and confidential documents and wanted to store them only here and nowhere else. I wouldn’t have done that with any other drive, coz it’s risky. This thing started malfunctioning too early and I cant even return my product, the only option is to replace, which I don’t want cause I do not want to risk it again.

It is very portable and speeds are decent(actually very good considering the portability factor and way better than any hard drives with moving parts, coz it’s an ssd), fingerprint works well, all these are of no use if it just stops working and you lose all your important data which you can’t recover.

This ssd is superb , small , fast , secure, & my ssd fall down 4 5 time’s but happily its working thank you Samsung for great product
