Review: Perfect SSD for Rivian Gear Guard - 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.
Review: Recorded 7 simultaneous video streams to it live, no dropouts - I use this as the recording drive for a podcast studio. Six ISO camera feeds plus the switched program feed, all 1080p at 30fps, written directly to the T7 during the session rather than transferred afterward. Seven simultaneous video streams and no dropped frames, no write errors, no drive dropping off mid-record. Transfers off it are fast. A 100GB video folder came across in about a minute, and running two transfers at once — audio folder and video folder simultaneously — didn't cause any stalling. It formatted cleanly to exFAT, which is what you want if the drive moves between a recorder and a computer, or between Mac and Windows. On heat, since it comes up in every review: it gets warm during long recording sessions. Not hot enough to be a problem, not hot enough to burn you. Writing that much data continuously generates heat and it has to go somewhere — I'd rather it end up in the drive's own enclosure than back into the machine. I can't confirm whether write speed throttled during recording since I had no way to monitor it live, but nothing dropped and every file came out intact. Included cable is a proper data cable, not a charge-only one, so it hits rated speed out of the box. That's worth noting because plenty of drives ship with junk cables. Small enough to disappear into a bag, no external power needed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am running mac os catalina. if i reformat the drive, will it erase the cache that’s built into the drive?**
A: Reformatting this external SSD will not do anything to its cache. In any case, the cache is used only during read/write operations, you can’t directly address it as a user and don’t have to think about it at all. You can reformat in APFS for best Mac performance or use any other scheme you need, including multiple partitions each formatted differently.

**Q: Will this ssd work as a external hard drive for ps5**
A: Yes, you should be able to use this as an external drive for the PS5 and get full speed on it as long as you plug it into one of the USB 3.2 ports. However, you will still not be able to play PS5 games off of it. You can play PS4 games off of it with improved load times.

Per Daniel Bastian's answer regarding the Xbox Series X. You can use the T7 on Series X, but you will not get the full speed. Series X uses USB 3.1 gen 1 ports, which are slower than this SSD. For Series X, you would be better off buying the T5 SSD.

**Q: Does the gray t7 match the space gray of a MacBook?**
A: no, the ssd is darker than the space grey mac

**Q: Can i boot windows 10 directly using boot camp if i connect it to my mbp? im running out of storage on my mac so i don’t want to partitin&useboot camp**
A: Yes. You might need to Google how to use an external drive, but the read/write speeds on this are exceptional (1GB/s), and the USB-C to USB-C cable it comes with is top-notch (as is the USB-C to USB-A cable). Obviously, you're going to want to be vary careful not to move the cables when in-use.

Lightweight, fast, and perfect for storing photos and videos! I do a lot of video and photo work on my phone, so having a portable SSD that’s lightweight is a huge plus.
