Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a wedding photographer and this was recommended by someone else in the industry. It is super fast and has been reliable! I also love the compact size and am a fan of the color. Will buy again.

I bought the Samsung T7 Shield 1TB SSD online from Best Buy and it’s been great so far. The transfer speeds are super fast, perfect for backing up large files and working on the go. I really like the rugged design—it feels solid and the IP65 water/dust resistance gives me peace of mind. Setup was quick and easy, and it works perfectly with both my Mac. Definitely a solid investment if you need portable, reliable storage.

Pocket sized, fast and great security. Should’ve purchased 2

This external drive has been put through a ton of system data migrations and it runs like it is brand new every time. I have used this religiously over the past few years and it never gives me trouble. I would recommend this to anyone that is out looking for a solid option for an external drive

Very durable, light weight. Very convenient to carry around while traveling! A savior during emergency recharges for sure!

Fast and reliable with plenty of storage for my needs! Love that it has encryption built in with password protection.

Easy to use/set up and fast fast fast, use it for gaming and it works great.

I needed a device to save and password protect my sensitive documents as I travel often and work remotely. The T7 Shield was on sale so decided to try it out. It fits my needs perfectly. Not only is it compact but the rate of transfer is extremely fast. It was easy to set up and did not have any hang-ups or delays when transferring files. So far it's worth the 5 star rating.

very portable light and faster transfer. Tried transferring files and it was fast.

Very solid feel. Have dropped it twice with no consequence. Has not been wet - yet! Easy to use. Fast. Seems just fine. Very good price when I bought it. Less than non-Shield model. I like it.

The external hard drive works perfectly. I was lucky enough to purchase it while it was on sale. All of my data is now backed up on it with a great deal of space left over. I rely on Best Buy for all of my electronic and computer needs and I'm never disappointed.

So far, It seems to work brilliantly. The body seems like it will last for a long time and be able to hold so much in such a small package. It seems like it will be able to handle a very rugged trip, but also be a great way to store precious memories. It may need a power source connected to your device if you’re going to use an old phone splitter of some sort. I would highly recommend.

Very small in size. Set up process is easy. Works great.

I wanted to get something for my son's gaming computer as he quickly used up a lot of the space on the drives. This was a great option for us. It plugged right in with no software to install and was recognized by the computer. The fact that it's an SSD means it's fast enough for him to access game files and not notice much of a lag. (Mainly single player games, no multiplayer). Definitely like the product and so far, think it will serve us well.

As a professional wedding photographer it is so important to have people’s images very well-secured & having switched from another brand that has become notorious for malfunctioning I’ve been so so happy with this product as I wrapped up wedding season and other sessions. Peace of mind is everything when it comes to storage & I couldn’t be more a fan of this external hard drive!

I used it to store settings and record live sessions on my QSC TouchMix 16 and it works great!

Easy to use and ample storage! I purchased this for my daughter's college course and it was inexpensive with more than enough space for hundreds of photos!

Boots fast. Does what's is supposed to do. Couldn't ask more. Any it's tiny.

I have been on the lookout for an external drive and this one is just what I needed. It’s small, fast and durable. The setup is literally plug and play on my HP Spectre x360 Windows laptop running Windows 10. The drive comes with Samsung software right at the root of the drive, for enabling encryption and firmware updates. I don’t care to encrypt it at this point and there weren’t any updates, but the software interface is simple and intuitive. I performed some speed tests on the drive and on my internal SSD (HP Spectre x360). My internal SSD was the fastest at 1550 MB/s sequential reads. With USB-C the T7 did 1057 MB/s sequential reads and with USB-A it did 460 MB/s sequential reads (see attached screenshots). Pros: -Small -Fast -Durable -Comes with two cables, one for USB-A and one forUSB-C Cons: -None that I found Final Thoughts: The Samsung T7 Shield is an excellent external USB drive. It is rugged and fast. The compatability across Windows, Mac and Android is great and the fact the drive comes with the software embedded is a plus. I would definitely recommend this drive to anyone.

The Samsung T& Shield 1TB is the absolute best back up drive I've ever had. It took the dread out of backing up files that I absolutely could not afford to lose. I'm not a technical wiz, but not a dummy either. The ruggedness and slim size is also very appealing.
