The Samsung T7 Touch is a great little external drive that’s small and robust enough to be carried wherever you need to use it for storage or as a working drive. It’s perfect for keeping a laptop’s memory clear and running smoothly while you store and edit stills or video.

Small and lightweight, Metal body, Fast file transfer

Initial issues with the fingerprint recognition set up software

Really fast SSD, great for the PS4 games on the PS5 !

No issues here, works like a charm :)

Good product. Good price. It does what it says very well.

Fast and good value.
