    Works like it should. Works fast and holds a lot of data. I used it for backups and thousands of pictures. Helps consolidate some resources I wanted.

    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!

    So far so good. Bought this as a replacement hard drive when my 5-6 yr one failed. Luckily the IT group I took the old one to was able to recover my original files because it had a disk in it. This Samsung one does not as a heads up. While it's more stable and less likely to fail overall, when it does fail, the data will unlikely be recoverable. So it's best to have backup in a few places like an online/cloud, an SSD, and/or a secondary hard drive. Especially if the files are important. That's the advice the IT Guys gave me. It's good advice so I'm passing it along. The SSD itself feels super light, very portable, has a nice grippy texture. Plug and play.

    Very rugged and reliable SS (solid state) 2 Terabyte external drive. Comes with 2 USB cables for compatibility with any PC or Apple. USB connection on the Samsung SS Drive is a C type connector, which can be inserted in either of the two orientations (unlike USB-A). On Wikipedia you can see that turning a C connector 180 degrees, that the same pins connect to the drive or PC either way. Really genius. So this drive comes with a male USB-C on one side and a male USB-C on the other for most all Apple laptops and desktops. It also comes with a second cable which is USB-C for the SS drive side and a male USB-A or type A connector for mostly Windows PCs, like my Dell XPS, which has mostly type A female receptacles on front. Because type A only works in one orientation there is a USB symbol on only one side of the connector which usually faced up or on verticale slots the USB mark on the connector head goes to the right. A USB-C type has no USB symbol on it, indicating either orientation is correct. This drive RUNS OFF OF POWER FROM THE USB CABLE SO THERE IS NO OTHER POWER CABLES FOR THE SS DRIVE, Either of the USB cables described has more than enough power to run the drive extremely fast.

    Encased in a rubberized shell, the T7 Shield boasts an IP65 rating, ensuring resistance to dust and water jets. It can withstand drops from up to 9.8 feet, making it ideal for on-the-go professionals and outdoor enthusiasts . Despite its ruggedness, the drive remains compact and lightweight, enhancing its portability.

    I use this 2TB external SSD to do image backups of my laptop while traveling. I need a drive that has an IP65 water resistant rating, and that is rugged and tough. I got a great deal during a Black Friday sale.

    I am not that techy of a person but this was still super easy to use and understand. It has a great feel to it, and the sort of rubbery case it has on it makes it really hard for it to slip or fall of a desk. It comes with both USB type A (the normal one) and USB-C, which makes it very versatile for different uses
