Samsung T7 Touch 500GB Up to 1,050MB/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps, Type-C) External Solid State Drive (Portable SSD) Black (MU-PC500K)

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.

One of the fastest SSD available.Fingerprint reader adds another layer of security. You can unlock SSD just using fingerprint on iPad pro and Android device, you don't require any additional software for it.

The media could not be loaded. Slik, small best SSD ever baught ,goes inside my wallet easily,had a good experience will buy it for my dad too, safe , secure , fingersprint enabled

It's a bit slimmer compared to the Samsung T5 SSD seriesQuite fast... though did not compare the read/write speeds w.r.t T5 series of Samsung SSDReally liking the Touch Security feature...!After connecting the SSD with a laptop, it shows the read-only partition of the SSD with the installation filesOnly when you scan the finger (whenever you wish, and need not be done immediately after you connect the SSD), you can see the actual read/write partition.

It’s good.. light weight, easy to carry and also speed is good.

This is a very super fast ssd. My usability factor was not more storage but I want enoromus speed for my macbook pro 13. This hardisk security is just best in class. Only one drawback is fingerprint reader delays for about 1.5 second. Otherwise this ticks all my checkbox.

I brought this ssd for my macbook air M1 2020 latest one and when I got this the box condition is good and T7 touch is in good condition.But when I connected to the macbook the the ssd got detected by the macbook and showing on the desktop but to activate the password and finger print we need to download and install samsung software and I installed it and a ssd portable icon appear on the desktop and after opening that it is showing that the device is not connected in it but the device is connected to the macbook and I tried refreshing the connection still it is showing disconnected.Then I watched many videos to solve the problem but noting worked for me then at late I tried a idea I got that I connected the ssd to my windows laptop and install ssd software for windows on my windows pc and installed it then the icon appeared on the desktop.All this process is same that we did in macbook but in mac you will be installing mac ssd software in windows you will download windows ssd software.After I get the icon on my windows pc I opened the icon and in windows it is showing connected and problem solved and then I set my password and fingerprint and then disconnected from windows and then connected to my Mac then also it is showing disconnected on mac but the ssd is still detected like previous but now the password and fingerprint is working,so now you got a solution.But one problem is when you want to change password or add extra fingerprint or remove security you need to connect to windows laptop and do that as the ssd portal app working fine on the windows only.This process is some what difficult but if you understand it will be easy.If we keep this a side every this good the speed I am getting around 600mb/s read speed and 700mb/s write speed and when I transferred a 3 gb file it just took me around 6 seconds the speed Is fantastic.I think this information is helpful.

I like speed of samsung t7
