Wonderfully Fast

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024

Seems plenty durable, not that it's moved from my desk. But it is wonderfully fast and a cost effective extension to my desktop's storage capacity. Handles 4k raw footage just fine.

Not Faster On Mac - Just More Expensive

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024

Macs do not have the ability to take full advantage of this drive - Macs don't support USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2. And, it only copies faster for extremely large files. The largest file on my and likely your computer is ~8 GB or smaller. At these sizes even if your computer does support USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2, you won't see a speed improvement. Also, with older Macs like the 2015 Retina, the EVO line is just as fast. All external Samsung SSDs run at around 350 MB/s read/write or slower if they're getting full. The smaller size and durability of the Samsung T7 drives make them a great choice. Skip the T9 if you have a Mac - even an M2, because you won't see faster speeds than T7, you just pay more for T9.

I just did a write test for 4TB T9, T7, and Evo drives on an 8.58 GB file (my largest file). Time to copy for the drives were 20 sec., 20 sec., and 25 seconds. T9 and T7 wrote at the same speed, Evo was a little slower. Black Magic Disk Speed Test indicates that the T9 is a little slower than the T7 - why pay more for less speed?

Small and powerful drive.

Use mine as an external drive to store photos for my Adobe light room. Small and fast for up and downloading. Drive is protected by a hard rubber coating and makes the drive easy to grip. This is the best external drive I have ever used and I have many for my photo work!

It's small and fast

Got this to make around 1TB of data available from my old iMac on my new MacBook pro but didn't want to fill up my new HD. I wanted something that I could use to move stuff, back it up, and also just use the portable HD directly and not have to worry about transferring stuff unless I wanted to. This HD is perfect. I was able to transfer about 1.2TB of data over from a ten year old iMac that only has USB-B support in less than 90 min. Now I just plug it in with USB-C to my new MacBook Pro and can use it like a normal HD and it's super fast just like the localdisk.

Amazing piece of technology!

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2023

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

I purchased this to connect it to my Synology NAS to run Roon. They highly recommended it be run on an SSD instead of a HDD so I caved and bought it. I could have gotten something half or a quarter the capacity for a lot less and it would have worked fine, but this was a quick no-brainer.

My only complaint is with Amazon and their shipping practice. They shipped this via USPS with simply a shipping label stuck to the box this device came in!!! NO anonymity or security whatsoever!! Somebody along the line could have simply grabbed this for their own use and nobody would be wiser.

Thankfully the box DID arrive and it was easy to unpack. It came with two USB-C cables - one with a USB-A connector on one end, and one with a USB-C connector on the other end. A nice touch!

I plugged the drive into the NAS, it found it and reformatted it in a matter of a couple seconds. My 20 TB HDD took roughly 18 hours to format in comparison! Everything is working well a day into it and I have hopes for much more enjoyment in the future! In fact, I'm eyeing that 4TB version for my portable music library so that I don't have to worry about the 5TB HDD I'm currently using getting all beat up with file errors...

Prices have sure come down since I started looking at these and I'm sure, it will keep falling as capacities keep increasing!

This is a very fast SSD! I like how small and durable it is too. No issues formating and works perfectly for fast transferring and storage.

Works well. Fast.

I had done a fair bit of research on external HDs and this is my new go-to external hard drive and I'm enjoying how fast it is.
Of course the 4 TB of space is nice too.
The only issue I have is it's price. I wish it could have been less expensive.
But value wise, I would highly recommend it after two months of use.

So far it’s been reliable and has decent speed

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024

Capacity: 4TBVerified Purchase

As a photographer, I can’t seem to have enough large capacity SSDs. I bought this when it was on sale and because the brand has proven to be reliable to me. It doesn’t seems to be quite as fast as advertised but it does the job for me. The rubber coating is good in case not gets dropped, but it is a dust a dog hair magnet.

I use this to store/manage my DJ Track Collection in Rekordbox and needed a SSD with enough space to hold years worth of my collection that could also sync my changes fast. Previous flash drives were painfully slow. First drive I used took hours to do build the initial directory. Can't do it!

Super-Fast & Compact

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024

Capacity: 4TBVerified Purchase

Very happy with this 4TB drive - supper fast, armored and smaller than a deck of cards.

My Seagate One Touch 5TB drive ran out of capacity and it was a good drive but took "forever" (many hours) to back up my 250GB of data. I have a 2TB Samsung Touch T7 with fingerprint security that is more than 5 times faster at 1050MBS using my TBolt 4 Dell XPS 13 and the supplied TBolt 4 cable (also very happy with the T7 Touch).

I decided to pay more than double the Seagate price for the 4TB Samsung T9 with advertised speeds of 2,000MBS. I didn't expect to actually gain any speed over the T7 because reviews I have read suggest more than 1,000MBS is problematic even with end-to-end TB4 hardware. However, this drive is notably faster, probably at least 50% if not more. Very happy I am not wasting more than half a day to do backups anymore. I reformatted the drive from eFat to NTFS prior to using it. I wish they made a touch version of this drive also to provide more security - I keep this one locked in a safe.
