SAMSUNG SSD T7 Portable External Solid State Drive 1TB, Up to 1050MB/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Reliable Storage for Gaming, Students, Professionals, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray

Im still using my T5, but I need more for my iMac. Connect it if you have on your computer USB - C

I use this as my game drive, if you can believe it. External USB 3.0 plugged into the back of my PC and its response is as if it is an internal drive. Fast, accurate, easy to use. Hard to go wrong with Samsung. One of my favorite companies for PC products. My son uses another model Samsung the same way. Great drives!

Died after 13 months, using to record a Telsas dash cam / sentry mode. Sure thats moderately harsh conditions in the heat and recording a few video streams for 2 hours a day.... but wow it should last longer. No computers or the car recognize it plugged in. No support, just its out of warranty.

Great speed. Edit 4K footage easily.

The software application you can (but dont have to) use with this is relatively useless, save perhaps for update notifications. Otherwise, performs very well, with surprisingly fast transfer rates from my laptop (it being 7 years old now, so understandably not known for high speed). To make constant plug-in possible, Ive attached easily-removable hooks to the exterior of my laptop and hang the hard drive and its cord from them. This keeps the USB end from disconnecting if the hard drive falls (cord is pretty short). What it did not do was clear enough room on my laptop to upgrade to macOS Big Sur, which was the goal - but that is the laptops fault, not the hard drives (the current OS on my laptop simply wont free up enough memory to make the upgrade possible). I dont regret the purchase, though, as it will buy me some time before I have to update to a new laptop, and considering that cost, this is an inexpensive and vital interim aid, as it has made it possible to completely backup my current machine with the free software (Time Machine) that came with my Mac - something I couldnt do until I had room to make that happen. That peace of mind alone was worth the affordable investment.

Ended up using for my pics transfer. Works great!

My husband uses this with his Macbook Pro. He uses Logic Pro program a lot and he reports the transfer rate is super fast. Its crazy how much memory is on this for how small it is. Was worth the investment.

UPDATE:

added to my nvidia shield TV as adaptable storage. works great

Its the security of the hard drive that I like and it works really good too
