Light and easy

Very good

The Samsung T7 Portable SSD 1TB in Titan Gray is great for my new Rivian and works perfectly with Gear Guard. It’s extremely easy to set up — just make sure to plug it into the first USB‑C slot under the armrest. It connected seamlessly and I just had to format at it when I first installed and it was good to go after that. That takes about 1-2 minutes. Before buying, I did a lot of research and read through Reddit threads from other Rivian owners, and this SSD was consistently recommended. It’s built for speed and performance, and it handles the constant video recording without any issues. It also seems well‑suited for the heat it will be exposed to inside a car, which was important to me. I also love how sleek and compact it is. It barely takes up any space in the armrest and keeps the interior looking clean. Overall, a great choice for anyone using Gear Guard on their Rivian.

SSD drives are way faster than the old spinning platters in disk drives. Downloading large photography files (from a 42 MP Nikon Z7ii) to this drive is just blazing fast. And it's really quick and responsive when attached to my Macbook. The small size makes it really easy to bring along when traveling or going to do a presentation somewhere. While there have been some quality control issues with the Samsung 4 Tb SSD drive, I've heard nothing but praise for the 1 Tb version. Mine has performed perfectly and I'm very pleased with it. I'm imagining that this would be a great product for people doing video because it's so fast.

I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of those USB – C SSD by Samsung. This model supports USB 3.2 GEN 2. However my MacBook Stone Age model only supports USB 3.0. Despite that, performance is excellent. The drive is about 40% full and still performs the way it did when it was new. I did have to format it once when I first had it; I don’t remember if I installed a firmware update or not. But when I first got the drive, after using it for a short time, performance dropped significantly. A reformat, maybe a firmware update, and the drive has been flawless since. It is small, lightweight, and Portable. It does get a touch warm but I never had to worry about it overheating. Wakes from sleep quickly. I use it as an external drive to supplant my iTunes and movie library. In that regard, it works excellent.
