Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great for backing up a Mac to Time Machine. It is so much faster than the older hard drives.

This has been a revolutionary purchase for me. I needed a place to store large video files that were consuming valuable hard drive space and preventing me from editing or transferring new files onto my laptop. This will store almost 2 years of files, and I am very satisfied with how easy it was to format and set up. One word of caution, I initially formatted the drive in FAT and it was incapable of transferring files larger than 4GB, so if you are dealing with files that large, or larger, don't forget to format into XFAT from the beginning and save yourself the hassle of having to pull everything off the drive and reformat it. All in all it was a great drive and if I ever need another external, I will be picking us another T7 Shield.

plug and play no problems fast easy storage... recommend

Exceptional product. I have two of the 4tb hard drives. One of them I’ve had for about 4 years now and it still works flawlessly and fast.

Awesome hard drive. My first SSD and love the compact size and speed

Love the design, texture, and of course, the speed!

Great speed and excellent performance. Solid on the road as a backup for anything that connects to USB C, l cannot look back, and also use on on Blackmagic 6k Pro for recording. That requires a better cable to manage power issues but solid drive all round.

Loved it so much I ordered another one. I am using them to back up my music data and they are fast. No problems at all

1TB is a decent amount for games. 1000GBs is atleast 10 100GB sized games. Transfer speeds are pretty fast. Samsung takes the cake in data storage/tranfer speeds for their extra storage devices.

Samsung drives have always been my choice when it comes to internal SSD's or external hard drives and this is definitely well worth the purchase. The rugged shell and easy of use reliability has always been something I can count on.

I got this to do Time Machine backups for a MacBook Air M2. It is compact, fast, and has rubber classing to protect it. I don't notice any overheating. It comes with both USB C to USB C and USB 3.0 to USB C cables. It has to be first formatted so it can do Time Machine backups.

This SSD was recommended to me by the Best Buy Geek Squad representative. I was skeptical about it, but I went ahead and bought it. This SSD is excellent and very fast when moving files. I like the design of the rugged-out skirt.

My wife plugged this into her 8 year old computer to back up her pictures. After a few minutes she says "I don't think it is working. I tried coping my file over and it looked like it started. But now it is not showing any progress." That's because it had copied all the data over 10X faster than expected!!!! A bit pricey but better than a spinning disk any day.

Fast, sturdy, and capacious. Great value for money!

I picked this t7 drive for my Time Machine backup’s on my MacBook pro. It’s fast and compatible. I’ve used Samsung ssds before and I have found them very reliable. Great price on the Black Friday sale. Come with 2 cables.

another great samsung drive with added drop and environmental protection. the difference in the weight and size of the shield against the touch or regular T7 is noticeable, but not so much in either regard to offset the benefits of the protection. fast, reliable, and safer than ever. better yet, its cheaper than what i paid for my T5.

This was ready to use and the size of this packs a punch! I'm going to purchase another for my daughter.

⭐ 5/5 – Excellent External Drive! The Samsung T7 Shield 1TB is amazing! It’s super fast, durable, and very easy to use. I love how compact it is, and the transfer speeds are incredibly quick — perfect for photos, videos, and large files. The rubberized design feels strong and protected, so I’m not worried about dropping it. It connects instantly to my devices and works perfectly every time. Definitely a great investment!

This drive came with cables that allow connections to either USB-A or USB-C ports on the host machine. The drive is lightweight and very fast. I use this drive to backup my NAS device. It is small enough to store in a fire safe for off-line storage.

Great little hard drive with the simplicity, ease of use, and performance of a USB-C external SSD hard drive. A bonus with this item is the rubbery case for some family-proofing. This drive has worked flawlessly for storing and editing videos on both Mac and PC.
