The SSD is simply amazing!! I have the MacBook Air M1 chip and with the USB-C to USB-C cable that comes in the package, I reach speeds of 700mb/s write and 800 to 900 mb/s read!! Okay, obviously it doesn't have the prices it claims above, meaning 1000 write, 1100 read, but still it's incredibly fast! Anyone who does video rendering entirely from the SSD will obviously see something more expensive and better, but for image editing and everyday use, it's the best thing out there! The T7 doesn't heat up at all even after hours on the laptop! In other news, it only has a small light that flashes when transferring files! And for those wondering, it also comes with a USB 3.2 to USB-C cable in the package, so don't worry about having to buy another cable! Get it!!
Very good and fast, I expected it to be bigger in size because I wanted it as an external hard drive to replace my WD MyBook .Στην αρχή όταν τον πήρα νομίζοντας ότι ο εξωτερικός σκληρός δίσκος είχε αρχίσει να χαλάει κατα την διάρκεια σταματησε 8 με 10 φορές και κάθε φορά κατά την έναρξη άρχισε να κάνει σάρωση το Norton Antivirus.και εκανε σαρωση κ έλεγχο το Samsung Magician..Δεν έδωσα σημασία νομίζοντας ότι είναι πρόβλημα του Norton .πριν ένα μήνα τον σύνδεσα στον υπολογιστή για να περάσω ένα παιχνίδι και κάποια αρχεία...άρχισε το ίδιο. σε επικοινωνία με το Norton help desk δεν ήταν πρόβλημα του Antivirus..τον άφησα συνδεδεμένο...και κάνει συνέχεια αποσυνδέσεις...ΣΗΜΕΡΑ 10 ΑΥΓΟΎΣΤΟΥ ΔΕΝ ΑΝΑΓΝΩΡΊΖΕΤΑΙ ΑΠΟ ΤΟ ΣΎΣΤΗΜΑ ΚΑΙ ΕΧΑΣΑ ΤΑ ΠΆΝΤΑ..ΣΤΕΝΑΧΩΡΙΕΜΑΙ ΓΙΑΤΙ ΕΧΑΣΑ ΤΙΣ ΦΩΤΟΓΡΑΦΙΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΤΑ ΒΊΝΤΕΟ ΤΗΣ ΚΟΡΗΣ ΜΟΥ...ΥΛΙΚΌ 18 ΕΤΩΝ...???
When I went to copy files from the computer to the disk, it deleted them and you can't delete other folders. It shows problems; otherwise, it is flawless.
Pros
- Speed, durability, does not overheat, size, battery life
Cons
- The USB-C cable does not "click" well, if the computer moves a little the connection is lost.
- It seems to slow down a lot when the free space is reduced to 5-10%
I am generally satisfied. Its performance and portability make it an excellent choice. However, the cable stopped working in less than 1 year of careful use. So, one star goes for the cable and another one for its price.
I got it to keep a copy of the Macbook I have. Immediate connection and formatting on the Mac and fast backup. Okay, personally I don't have many things inside the Mac so for me everything is perfect!
The best SSD for professional use. Very small, thin, and light so you can have it with you anywhere. Speeds are very fast so you can work with large files directly from the disk.
I also have the T5 which was even better!! (with 512GB) lightweight, small, with good temperature preservation. Nice case.. (durable) even after a fall.. It doesn't understand anything. I would buy it again.
The cable in the package is short and inflexible. If you don't have much space and the port on the PC is close to the table (I have a desktop not a laptop), it is very difficult to connect.
I tried the cable of my mobile phone and it works much better.
It doesn't make sense to send back the cable (warranty, no warranty). The design is automatic. It will be a waste of time. If you have an issue with the cable, just get a good data cable, because the disk is bulletproof.
It is now VERY EXPENSIVE for the speeds it offers, so I suggest buying internal SSD NVMe (not SATA III) and putting them in cases (I recommend the "Ugreen CM400" or "LC-Power LC-M2-C-NVME-2X2"). Lower cost for up to +4X faster speeds. Look it up.
For example:
1) WD SN770 SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 4.0: (Read 5150 MB/s Write 4850 MB/s) !!!!
at €135 + Ugreen CM400 at €35 = €170. Or with LC-Power (data transfer rate up to 20 Gb/s!!!!!!!) at the same price and with this one, you can achieve the advertised speeds of the SSD.
3) Are you a cheapskate and a show-off?
Then go for "Samsung 980 Pro SSD 2TB M.2 NVMe PCI Express 4.0" Read 7000 MB/s!!!
Write 5100 MB/s!!!!! at €174 plus €35 for the LC-Power 20 Gb/s.!!!!!!!!!!!!
*both cases work perfectly on Apple devices
For all the rest of you, who paid or will pay 210 Euros for "Transfer Speed up to 1GB/s", keep pressing "NO"
in the "Did you find this review helpful? Yes No" section on Skroutz, and if you are many, let me suggest some other gems that have gone 100% above their original price, just for fun! :D
The hard drive is very good, I recommend it. It seemed a bit expensive to me since I got the 1TB one, but it is fast in transferring data, durable (it already accidentally fell from a height of two meters) and beautiful if you are interested (I have the red color). I highly recommend it.
Its use is as an external on the ps5, before this I had a classic 4gb disk which, however, could not handle demanding games and crashed the whole system.
After its installation, I did not have a similar problem.
Its dimensions are extremely small, the size of a credit card and a few millimeters thick.
As always, Samsung has made a perfect product. The disk is quite fast and has excellent construction. I prefer the one without the touch, but I will also get one with touch for a second
Small in size, very fast in data transfer (in collaboration with an SSD - transfers 50 GB in less than a minute). I am very satisfied with the purchase. It seems to have a durable construction, but I still give it more time to evaluate it.
Using it as an expansion disk on a Mac mini works very well. It is quiet, very small, and fast in file transfer. If it withstands the test of time, it will be a very good purchase!
Small in size, elegant, quiet, and fast. So far, and after two and a half months of use, it performs excellently, without any disconnections or issues. I am already considering purchasing a second identical 2TB hard drive, provided that the prices drop.
Guys, I have had it for 2 years, it hasn't had any issues, IT DOES NOT DISCONNECT, and it is much faster than regular SSDs. Obviously, if it disconnects for someone, it is defective and should be replaced immediately! The reason it is top-notch and inspires reliability is exactly that, IT DOES NOT DISCONNECT. It has not disconnected even once in the 2 years for me! So now that its price has dropped by 40% since I bought it, it is by far the best choice among all drives in this speed category. Buy it YESTERDAY!
Very good and fast disk. The loading times have been reduced to a satisfactory degree, but don't expect to see next-gen speeds. Good build quality. The only negative is the cable that connects to the console. It is quite small. Inside the package, Samsung also provides a USB Type C to Type C and Type A. The 1TB may sound like a lot BUT due to the space required by games, 1TB is minimal. For example, a Call of Duty and a Forza Horizon 5 take up about 30% of the disk
Due to my profession as a sailor and the need for using a rugged external hard drive, I decided to purchase this product. As a former owner of an HDD external hard drive, I have to say that this particular hard drive has satisfied me to a great extent. It is fast, durable against falls and damages due to its operation compared to an HDD that operates with heads. It is truly value for money, I have bought a second one (1tb) because I was very satisfied with the first one, and it is certain that I will also buy a third one. The application that it has helps with its operation and user usage. It is truly a very good SSD external hard drive with very good characteristics and high speed, while also being very quiet. Now, with the summer, it is logical for it to heat up a little more during transportation, so it is good not to use it in temperatures like those outdoors. I highly recommend it!
Very nice hard drive externally at least. Lightweight, convenient, with separate connection cables for USB C and USB 3.0 ports. I bought the 1TB version.
The drive is really fast and confirms the excellent reviews and tests.
I use it to keep backups on my Macbook pro. So far, I am very satisfied. It's incredibly fast (which I didn't expect, especially since it was the first backup, so it copied 250GB). It heated up maybe more than my old external drive, but the temperature didn't seem excessive to me.
I bought the 1TB version and use it as my Lightroom library for quick switching between my desktop and laptop. (Of course, I also back up to my desktop every so often.) I've had it for almost a year and am very satisfied. I'm seriously considering getting a 2TB one.
If when you delete something it doesn't free up space, go to the recycle bin and set it to permanently delete data from the specific disk through properties. Otherwise, it's an excellent aluminum-built and very fast disk!
Used as a Boot Drive on a Mac with the USB-C to USB-A cable provided in the package.
- It doesn't reach even half of the advertised speed - I see at most 400mb/s read/write. Nevertheless, it gets the job done, with the same performance as a regular SSD of course. I haven't tested it directly with USB-C.
- Samsung doesn't provide the Samsung Magician program for operating systems other than Windows.
On the positive side,
+ It maintains low temperatures even after hours of use
+ Convenient size
WARNING: After the 12.6.4 Monterey update, my Mac stopped booting from external drives and enters a restart loop! Stay on 12.6.3.
