This is not the model listed in the lawsuits. The ones listed in the lawsuits are various Extreme and Extreme Pro models as well as the Pro-G40 and Western Digital My Passport. I don't know if this model also suffers from the same issue(s) and I am trying to figure out when it was introduced. I've gone ahead and ordered one given the extended holiday return period. I'll leave it unopened until I decide to keep it or there's a deal on a Samsung T7.

Fire sale on these since they have fatal flaws and drives fail right and left. Don't do it.

Thank you for that link, FedEx drop off option is perfect as there is one close to me. As for the warranty replacement, my hope was that if it fails in a couple of years, the replacement they send me (either an updated version of this model or an entirely different model if this one is discontinued) will have addressed any flaw that was present.
Yw, & good luck with the drive. Hopefully, you won't even need the warranty service.

Wait? So do I need a backup for a backup. Lol
Critical things like family photos and videos? Absolutely. Even a third backup stored away (in a safe, bank box) might be a good idea to guard against theft, fires/hurricanes, etc. I've had TWO drives fail at the same time before (primary in a laptop and a backup). Unlikely, but possible. And even if the ssds don't fail completely (a very quick process) data can become corrupted before you realize the drive is failing SMART checks

Does Samsung T7 have the best quality? I see many people mentioning it.During
During my research, I was considering the Samsung 2TB T7 Touch from Costco for $99, but I don't need the fingerprint reader. Also, at least the T7 (non-touch) doesn't seem shuckable:

as well as can leak thermal paste if overheated:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoar...ssd_again/
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmaster...row_on_my/

So I went with this thread's SanDisk (shuckability is useful if say the USB-C port/adapter board dies, or if I repurpose the SSD for an internal device). But Samsung does make quality storage, and the T7 was on my shortlist. If none of the above concerns you, it seems like a solid recommendation.

This is slower in write speed than my hard drive. At least get the extreme that is not on the lawsuit.

Out of 6 drives, 1 encountered critical errors and could not finish a cycle of h2testw. Another drive stuck at slow writes even after formatting. Maybe formatting doesn't TRIM the drive. Not a good drive in general due to low QLC performance and endurance.

Here's the link for those mentioning the 2TB Samsung T7 SSD touch as an alternative.
Currently $99 at Samsung.com. Less if you have EDU or EPP and CB.
Note, that I bought two back on 11/26 with my Fold 5 order and they still have not shipped. Order is telling me that ETA is now Dec 19th. I am considering picking two of these Sandisk up because I need them sooner for gifts.

Alternatively, several have mentioned Costco has these 2TB Samsung T7 SSD for $99 as well.

Is the Samsung better? I don't know about specs. I'm just looking for a lightweight, portable one for travel. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. I have not opened my 2 drives yet. Probably going to return them then. Not worth it. Love saving money, but not when data loss or poor performance (like the inconsistent performance you encountered with 1 out of just 6 drives) is more likely than with an alternative, even if a little more costly.
