Facciamo due conti… 😉
MB/s -> Megabyte per secondo
Mb/s -> Megabit per secondo
GB/s -> Gigabyte per secondo
Gb/s -> Gigabit per secondo
La regola matematica è 1 Byte equivale a 8 bit.
Il Samsung T7 è dichiarato fino a:
1050MB/s = 8400Mb/s = 8,4Gb/s
Le specifiche delle USB di ultima generazione sono:
USB 3.1 GEN 1 raggiungono 5Gb/s = 5.000Mb/s
USB 3.1 GEN 2 raggiungono 10Gb/s = 10.000Mb/s
Ho fatto i test su un Notebook HP 250 G9 i7 12th generazione 16GB di RAM DDR4 con 2 porte USB type A 3.1 GEN 1 e 1 porta USB type C 3.1 GEN 1 (quindi tutte le porte si attestano a 5Gb/s ed infatti il Crystal Disk Mark ha dato gli stessi valori su tutte le porte, vedi foto 📷).
Il test ha restituito 460MB/s circa in lettura/scrittura sequenziale…quindi:
460MB/s = 3680Mb/s = 3,7Gb/s circa
A questo punto una persona si aspetterebbe di arrivare a saturare i 5Gb/s supportati dalla porta USB proprio perché il Samsung può raggiungere una velocità di 8,4Gb/s… di conseguenza il valore dichiarato dal produttore non rispecchierebbe la velocità reale.
Invece non è proprio così e vi spiego meglio perché…
In informatica (e solo in informatica) esistono unità di misura chiamate Gibibyte e Mebibyte.
Il valore espresso in GB che noi ad esempio leggiamo sui dischi (Hard Disk o chiavette USB) sono valori espressi in Gigabyte (unità di misura commerciale), mentre i PC leggono i Gibibyte (GiB) o Mebibyte (MiB).
Questo crea molta confusione e spesso delusione in chi acquista semplicemente perché non sa che esiste questa differenza matematica in informatica.
Per la cronaca 1 gibibyte = 1,074 gigabyte (quindi il GiB è più piccolo)
La controprova è appunto il classico esempio dei dischi o chiavette USB.
Si compra una chiavetta ad esempio da 32GB e quando la si inserisce nel PC quest’ultimo ne vede 29Gb…e ci si incavola 😉
In realtà se fate il calcolo (ma in rete ci sono i convertitori che aiutano in questo) 29 Gibibyte equivalgono appunto a 32 Gigabyte.
Altro esempio, collegando questo disco Samsung da 2TB nel PC, vengono visti 1.81TB (screen 📷), in realtà sono Tebibyte, che corrispondono esattamente a 1,99 Terabyte.
I conti come vedete tornano 👍
Tornando quindi al nostro bel calcolo…
Quello che Crystal Disk Mark ci dice:
460MB/s sono Mebibyte (in blocchi da 1GiB, fateci caso appunto nello screen il software la conosce la differenza) = 483 Megabyte = 0,48 Gigabyte = 0,45 Gibibyte/s
E nel caso delle porte USB che ho io:
5 Gigabit/s = 0,62 Gigabyte/s ma in Gibibyte sono 0,57Gibibyte/s
Senza dilungarmi troppo con i numeri, la differenza approssimativamente è di 0,12 Gibibyte/s (in MB 122 Mebibyte = 128 Megabyte) su calcoli in lettura/scrittura sequenziale (ed ovviamente molto variabili).
È decisamente buono, senza contare inoltre che sono valori influenzati anche dalla “bontà” dell’hardware del PC e che comunque non si arriva mai a saturare una porta USB.
Se avessi avuto porte USB 3.1 GEN 2 i valori read/write sarebbero stati decisamente più elevati (circa il doppio).
Direi quindi che bene o male, ci siamo con i valori dichiarati dalla fabbrica.
Sicuramente i test svolti da Samsung sono stati effettuati ad hoc in laboratorio e con hardware di un certo tipo…quindi era prevedibile non riuscire ad ottenere gli stessi valori dichiarati ma la differenza, come calcolato, è minima.
Come da screenshot, con i file di grandi dimensioni (ho provato a trasferire una ISO di 9GB) si comporta decisamente bene…325MB/s. Velocissimo (screen 📷).
Con i file di piccole dimensioni cala parecchio, ma è normale (tutti, chi più chi meno calano quando devono processare e trasferire migliaia di file di piccole dimensioni, vedi lo screen con il trasferimento a 21.8MB/s).
Per migliorare la situazione andrebbero modificati i parametri di dimensione di allocazione durante la formattazione, però poi si andrebbe a perdere un po’ di velocità per i file di grandi dimensioni (occorre valutare in base alle proprie necessità).
Dò 4 stelle e non 5 per il semplice motivo che questi sottorifugi di marketing tra Gigabyte e Gibibyte ovviamente ingolosiscono gli acquirenti ma tendono a confondere.
Certo, queste formule matematiche non le ha inventate la Samsung e valgono solo in informatica, però…anche basta.
In un mondo ideale sarebbe bello vedere una casa produttrice dichiarare i valori che la matematica dei PC restituisce.
Ovviamente potrebbe ingolosire di meno, ma almeno non deluderebbe nessuno.
Comunque, brava Samsung.
Bel prodotto, ben costruito e di fascia meritatamente alta.
Piccolo, compatto e leggerissimo.
Non è antiurto, quindi vi consiglio una piccola custodia/cover se volete evitare di danneggiarlo.
In dotazione doppio cavo USB: 1 USB type A – type C / 1 USB type C – type C
Un po’ caro, ma col Samsung day lo sconto è stato notevole.
Da tenere d’occhio 😉
Spero di essere stato utile.
Ciao a tutti.

I use a Windows PC for gaming and Macbook Pro 16 for moving files around.
I bought this drive to serve both of those systems. Here are my thoughts:
– It’s pretty compact in size. As big as a debit card and as thick as 4 cards approx. Comes with a type-c to type-c and a type-c to type-a cable. Both cables are short and rated as USB 3.2 Gen 2. For an SSD that costs ₹17,000, that’s expected.
– Although I would really appreciate it if Samsung included a case for the drive and cables, what they’ve already provided is just fine.
– Check for photos compared to my mouse and keyboard.
Windows (core i7, 16GB 3200 MHz, GTX 1080) :
– Check photos for windows speeds benchmarks and copying a file.
– My Windows PC doesn’t have a type-c connector, let alone 3.2 gen 2. I am having to restrict the drive to be used in the USB 3.0 configuration. Results, you ask? Well, the read and write speeds are hampered severely. While the disk management test shows close to 500 Mbps, I actually got ~320Mbps while copying a big file to the drive and back.
– While gaming, I tested Witcher 3, Metro Exodus, Borderlands 3, Batman Arkham Knight, and Horizon Zero Dawn (PC). Every game had practically 1-2 seconds of load time. Not more. All except Horizon Zero Dawn (which is not optimized for SSD on a PC as of August 2020).
MacBook Pro 16″ macOS:
– My Macbook Pro though, that’s a completely different story. The Macbook Pro 16 utilizes the Thunderbolt 3 protocol and scales the USB 3.1/3.2 gen 1/2 inside itself. I’m using a paid version of Microsoft’s NTFS for Mac so I can use this drive back and forth. On the macOS, not just the speed test was closer to 1Gbps, even the copying speed was the same (from and to the drive). I copied an almost 15 GB file in less than 15 seconds.
– I don’t do any R/W heavy tasks on my Macbook apart from transferring files here and there. So copying/pasting is probably the only thing I’ll use this drive for Macbook and it performs phenomenally.
– Check photos for macOS speeds benchmarks and copying a file, and I gotta say, this is where it shines.
Conclusion:
– The price is pretty steep for the drive so your decision to get it or not should depend on whether you have the right system that utilizes the right protocol or not.
– If you don’t have the USB 3.2 Gen 2, there are other better SSD alternatives. Like Seagate One Touch, or any USB 3.0 SSD for that matter. It’ll cost much cheaper, technically should provide you the speed your PC is at and reasonably high speeds.
– If you have a compatible device, a deep enough pocket, and if you need such speeds then definitely go for it.
PS:
– Amazon, WTF is wrong with you people? I buy a ₹17,000/- product and you cannot package it decently?
– The SSD box was crushed while shipping. What in the crap do you think justifies shipping delicate products like these without a box and then ship freaking body lotion in thick boxes?
– I’ve attached pictures, please don’t repeat this mistake. FU, correct this nonsense.
Fortunately, the hard drive wasn’t damaged and even the seal was intact. So I cut off only one start.

One word for this product: “AWESOME”
What a product. It is fast as hell and extremely portable.
I do not have any cons on this product but if I am nitpicking, it feels like the SSD is a little too fragile for portable use and needs protection. So it is a good idea to buy a rubber cover for it.

Dieses Produkt habe ich für mein Stiefmütterchen erworben (T7 blau 1TB). Ich konnte sie vergleichen mit einer Eigenbau-SSD, die aus einer ausgemusterten aber leistungsstarken M2 PCIE3 SSD 1B und einem UGREEN Gehäuse besteht. Gemessen wurde an einer USB-C Buchse mit dem mitgelieferten Kabel.
Als Testgerät verwende ich ein DELL XPS13 mit Core-i7-10510U also einen recht modernen Chipsatz.
Die vom Hersteller angegebenen ca. 1000 MB/s werden tatsächlich erreicht, typischerweise sind die Leseraten etwas höher als die Schreibraten. Meine Eigenbau-SSD schafft nur minimal höhere Übertragungsraten. Bei den sequentiellen Datenraten liefert erwartungsgemäß die zusammengebaute SSD bessere Werte (bis zu 2x so schnell), jedoch ist die Kombination größer und vor allem teurer.
Die mitgelieferte Software taugt nur zur Verschlüsselungsverwaltung, wer die SSD unverschlüsselt nutzt sollte sie erst gar nicht installieren. Stattdessen empfielt sich die Samsung Magician Software (für interne SSD’s), die auch mit der T7 zusammenarbeitet. Hier kann man Leistungsdaten prüfen, Firmware aktualisieren (war bei meiner nicht erforderlich) und die S.M.A.R.T. Werte auslesen.
Fazit: Sehr gutes und preiswertes Produkt.
Nachtrag: Schwierig ist die Recherche nach dem verbauten Speicher. Es scheint sich um TLC Zellen zu handeln, das habe ich aber nicht auf der Samsung Homepage gefunden.

I love this thing, tiny, lovely looking ( I have the red one and yes I know looks don’t matter with this type of product but it just looks great!). Normally I have an NVME drive in a separate USB 3 or TB enclosure and run it through TB as I have a Macstudio, but I also have Windows laptops that don’t have superspeed connections that I use the drives with so I thought this time I would give one of these a go. I also bought the little groovy case for protection. It’s still super small (did I mention that?) so not much more to it than one of the USBC NVME enclosures, feels a little sturdier and I get decent speeds. I know that the price of storage has fallen but as of this review on 14th Sept it’s £65.99 for the 1 TB, that’s madness compared to where we have been before and actually not that far removed from the price of making one yourself. Ok, so the downside compared to making one yourself is it seems to be so well made you can’t swap it out for another drive yourself. There may be a way but it doesn’t seem obvious to me, but that is the only downside. I imagine that’s for protection because it feels sturdy as heck, and literally fits in the palm of my hand. The question is if I had the same need would I buy one again or do as I usually do and put one together myself? Well unless you have TB speeds or 3.2×2 where you would feel the benefit from making a faster drive this would do you more than fine. It reached the advertised speeds, is super sturdy, super small, lovely looking and tactile with a marginal price difference between it and making one yourself with the same speed. So, unless you need to swap out the disks then go for it, If you do then think for a minute and decide if the many plus points outweigh the need. I have no regrets about buying this but then it is for a particular use case.
