Good SSD; but, Best Buy Refurb Could Be Better

Great secondary storage for those who didn't get enough in their laptop and can't add more because it's soldered. I have a 1TB drive in my Macbook Pro and I was running
out of space because of how large my photo library has become since I got a full frame camera and have been storing raws and using Lightroom (DMGs are stupid big.) I
have also have several Steam games stored on it and they run just fine. I've benchmarked the drive and it consistently gives me ~850MB/s reads and writes excluding file
system overhead, so it's likely saturating the 10Gbps USB 3.1 bus on my laptop. I was able to copy my ~380GB photo library in under 10 minutes. All in all, it's a ...

I searched "How do I initialize a disk' on-line. Since I am using the SSD with a Windows PC, I followed the on line instructions from Microsoft for the Disk Management option in Windows to first initialize then format the SSD. Once I did that, I was able to see the SSD in File Manager (If you are using the SSD with a MAC OS, you will need to search for how to do that with the MAC OS).I also went to the samsung.com/us/ web site and went to "Manuals & Software' under the "Support" link. Once there, I searched for "MU-PC1T0T". On that page I was able to download the Windows OS software for the SSD (you can also download MAC OS software on the same page). I also downloaded the User Manual for the SSD from the same page. Please note - there appears to be an error on the support page for the T7 SSD. The link for "User Manual" provides the User Manual for the T7 Touch, not the T7. For some reason, the User Manual for the T7 can be accessed using the "Install Guide" link.Anyhow, I hope all the above helps. A better solution would be for Best Buy when they refurb a Samsung T7 SSD to properly inititalize and format the SSD and load the MAC OS and Windows OS software on the drive. They also should at a minimum, load a copy of the User Manual on the drive when they refurbish it or preferably include a hard copy User Manual with the SSD.

I just rolled it into my Time Machine (Apple,) backup to my external 8TB rotational media drive for redundancy because devices can and do fail.

I'm pretty sure the issue relates to having 'security' enabled and the structure of the drive having an un-protected volume and protected volume and the un-protected volume being 'ejected' when you log into the protected volume. I'm also sure this could be fixed (definitely by disabling security - but what is the point of an unprotected SSD??) or formatting the drive to only have one volume - but that's way beyond my technical capability. I just expect the SSD to work. Incidentally, I don't have any of these problems with Sandisk SSDs.Its funny that's the manufacturers Samsung devices seems to have the most issue with, is other Samsung devices...! Would I buy a Samsung SSD again? no way (unless it was to be used exclusively with a windows laptop)

My husband bought this for me on Saturday (I would have written this under his account but he couldn't remember his password) so I was so excited as I am learning to record videos for YouTube and social media.We watched a few videos about this SSD and even though I was holding off so I could buy at least 2TB, my husband went and purchased this one.I like the feature where I can record video directly to the drive using Pro Res for my iPhone 15 Pro. What I don't like is how much storage it takes and when I try to edit the videos on my Macbook Pro, the size of the videos is way too large for it so it lags.Cannot record directly to the drive if it is not in Pro Res. Any video would have to be recorded on your phone and then transferred onto the drive.Oh, I forgot ...

My past drives I would have to download a driver to transfer files but nothing comes up when I plug it into my phone. The little book they give is absolutely no help. It shows you what cords come with it and where to plug them in. That's all.Went to Samsung's site and again, no help. So finding out the hard way that this drive would not fit my needs. Very disappointing and now I have to deal with a grouchy husband because he feels like he wasted his money and he knows if he returns it, he won't get it all back. He should have listened to me and waited....

(Mac Mini M2.) You should NOT need another computer, in a wholly different operating system, to make a "plug and play" device like this work.The Samsung T7 still gets 3 stars because it DOES work. The Samsung T7 LOST two stars because of the very un-holiday heartburn it caused me over several days. I bought two other high-speed cables to see if that might correct the problem. (Nope) I ended up moving this drive to a Windows box to see if it would do anything there at all, and -- prang! -- Windows recognized it. Once on the Windows PC, I was able to format it (FAT, not NTFS) and then move the damned T7 back to my Mac.I almost returned this thing, and I was NOT looking forward to arguing with Best Buy about it.

For those who think Samsung innovation exceeds everyone else, guess what. It doesn’t.As is often the case, at first the experience seems to be ok until it isn’t. I was actually quite impressed and figured they really did a solid piece of gear here, but be warned, it’s a trap! If you don’t backup your ssd, you may end up with all data lost and no way to recover it.Others here have complained about overheating. For me it wasn’t just that. Losing all my data (just as it was getting full) out of the blue was really upsetting. One would think this tech is beyond HDD, and for speed and simplicity, size, etc it really is. Yet somehow once again their products have failed to last and stand up to the test of time. I thought SSD was solid and had evolved beyond such ...

I thought SSD was solid and had evolved beyond such issues but nope.SWhat good are all those pros if the data you store is doesn’t last more than a year?On top of that, getting warranty action from Samsung customer service is virtually impossible. They play hot potato with your call and nothing is ever resolved.I’m at my wits end with this company.Quality should have always been a priority for them but sadly pushing half baked tech is really all they excel at. With the possible exception of oled panels, but even there I’m not 100% convinced I’ll ever trust them again.

I've had this for about a week and so far have put about 3/4 of a TB on it. No problems so far.This is the 7th or 8th Samsung SSD I've bought over the last few years. This is the third external one, the others have been internal. Most were 1 TB, one was 500 GB, and this is the first 2TB drive I've bought. All have worked flawlessly. Kudos to Samsung.The only issue I have with any is that the external ones don't play nicely with my OS when I want to access the SMART info. Apparently the interface doesn't pass through the right commands (or so someone on the internet claims). But looking at the SMART info for the older internal ones I have, there is nothing there to suggest that the wear rate is ever going to be a concern for me.I really think Best Buy should ...

Either I'm just buying bottom of the barrel with the competition, or this drive is really that great. After asking others how they feel, no. This drive is really that good. The speed alone is well worth the regular price which isn't really above the competition. This drive is rugged. Mine has dents all over it, scratched up.
