Cheaper if you have eBay Plus and its codes, even cheaper at $97 for the 1TB if you have a valid Student Edge or Student Beans account
1TB:
2TB:
Excludes: QLD Regional, SA Regional, WA Regional, WA Remote
yes, using 1tb in M3 and MY
500gb is more than enough for the longevity of reading and writing. 1Tb is overkill. I am hoping to get a 500gb around $50. (There was a $39 deal but probably never come back)
How reliable are these. Will it outlast a normal hdd.
Very reliable in terms of SSD’s
I have hdd lasting more then 10 years. This should be longer?
Sure, with your luck, apparently!
No one's going to promise you that though.
HDD have moving parts, SSD do not, therefore less likely for something to fail.
SSD is much better than a HDD for portable devices because no moving parts.
Well I guess that one I bought from Amazon is heading back now
$10 more + easier returns for same day delivery as opposed to at least 4 day delivery may be worth it
Nah I bought for $230 a couple days ago, so this is an easy $50 difference
ah you were referring to the 2TB version not 1TB
Is this suitable for a PS5 ?
Suitable to play your ps4 games on ps5, or to store your ps5 games which you need to move back to internal drive before playing them.
I assume at 1050MB/s it takes less than a minute to copy most games over?
Haven’t done that myself but assuming you have added a 2tb internal ssd with heatsink and still struggling with space then yeah this is not a bad option.
@Gotchas: You need one of these with a heatsink:

Self installation is very easy.
NAND flash and DRAM are getting cheaper given decrease demand and excess supply
Good option for Series X?
I have used 256, 512 and currently a 1TB T7 touch consistently with a Series X. The SSD has been the primary and a 2.5” spinner as a secondary - moving current games to the primary for good speeds.
Bulletproof and reliable to date.
Sounds good - I'll get the 1 TB one then. Thanks!
My kids use one on their series s. Great storage and really fast transfers. Can play some games directly from it, but not optimised games (forza / 2k).
Just couldn't follow up the pace of the electrical products development
I bought my T5 2TB for $290 in March 2020, now T7 is almost only half the price but double the speed.
ERGHHHHHH
I know how you feel…. I got a T5 500MB for $79 last year and thought I did well but it is now full and I don't have spare cash… >.< Must resist!
If it's going to help with your dissonaince, wait for the stories of 32MB CompactFlash cards being at that price at some stage.
CF cards! that's a collective memory, and look at the cf express now, that's a huge leap!
just remembered the good old days, spending $$$ for the "extreme pro" for a 4gb CF card…
Waiting for another T7 touch deal
Is it better or similar to T7 touch? Whats the difference?
Touch contains the fingerprint security mechanism, which would be safer and more expensive compared with this one?
I heard it's a gimmick and useless
Definately, if it's stolen, you ain't getting it back, might as well let them have your movie collection.
Anyone else having trouble adding the student beans code? Have people successfully stacked the SB code and the PLUSITUP code?
The Student Beans code has to be assessed via your own account as it generates a special eBay URL
It can only stack either the Student Beans or the PLUSITUP code
Managed that part now. But best price I'm getting is $97 (ie $20 off for the SB code). Can't seem to stack the eBay code for a further $10. Not sure how people managed $87.
Ahh that’s an error on my end, fixed
Which one would you recommend T7 shield or T7?
Has anyone’s 2TB T7 been posted yet? I paid on the 13th, still no postage update
same here, hopefully they actually have the stock
No, still waiting for postage.
Just received update, posted today.

Would this be the best option to plug into a 2013 year Imac 27-inch to use as a start-up disk?
"An external SSD should utilize USB 3.2 technology and have the functionality of being used as a startup disk for Mac." My aim would be to install fresh Operating System and then migrate everything across from the existing internal 1TB drive. I am happy to explore different options if the cost is comparable. Thanks to those much more clever than I am!
Yes this will definitely work to boot an iMac from. I'm pretty sure it comes with a USB-A to USB-C so you will be set. Just remember to set your Startup Disk to the Samsung after installation.
