Samsung P7 Portable SSD 1TB

What I particularly like about the Samsung P7 is its ease of use and how easily it fits into my existing workflow. I can transfer large photo and video files quickly, and because I can also open and edit files directly from the SSD, I don't have to constantly copy everything to my laptop first. I find this particularly convenient for photo and video editing.

Additionally, the P7 is compact and lightweight, making it easy to take with me and use with various devices, such as my laptop, smartphone, or camera. It also works smoothly and reliably for larger projects and longer file transfers. The storage capacity is more than sufficient for my use to have a lot of photo and video material at hand.

The biggest change for me is primarily that my workflow has become simpler. Recording, saving, transferring, and editing are better integrated, and I spend less time moving files. As a result, the P7 is not just extra storage for me, but a truly practical part of my content creation workflow for editing directly from.

This Samsung SSD can be used in various ways. I work with Lightroom and Photoshop on my iMac, and it runs surprisingly smoothly directly from the drive. So, I don't have to copy all sorts of files to internal storage first. Transferring photos and videos from my Canon R6 also works fine.

Using it with my iPhone 17 Pro is at least as interesting. You can connect the phone via USB-C and record ProRes video directly onto the SSD. That works well, although you do have to enable Apple ProRes in the camera settings first. One minute of 4K video at 30 fps takes up about 6 GB of storage space.

The SSD is small, light, and has a non-slip surface so it doesn't slide around easily. Connecting to the phone is quick and easy. However, the cable could have been a bit longer for use with my iMac. 1TB is sufficient for an ongoing project, but for multiple large projects, I would choose a larger capacity.

The Samsung Portable SSD has pleasantly surprised me. During travels and vacations, I take large quantities of photos and videos, making fast storage essential. Files are transferred in a short time, and thanks to its compact size, you can easily take the SSD with you wherever you go. Editing photos directly from the drive also works without any problems. This saves space on your computer and allows you to work more efficiently. An excellent purchase for photographers.
