It's a quiet, cool external storage solution that you can just plug in and forget it's there – perfect if you're working on the go and want to take all your files with you. As this is an SSD and there are no fans on the unit, noise wasn't a problem either. Samsung says that it's built some special thermal management into the T7 SSD to help keep temperatures down, and we didn't notice the drive getting hot at all during our time with it. To give you some idea, transferring around 5GB of data from a Windows computer (with USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports) to the Samsung T7 SSD took around xxx seconds in our testing – this is a speedy drive that won't leave you waiting around for long when it comes to getting your files moved across. The actual real transfer rates that you're going to get will vary, depending on what you've got the Samsung T7 SSD plugged into and the sort of data you're moving across.
