    Cost is always high on these things. They go on sale for half price so why not make them 2/3 the cost maybe you would sell more.

    Solid but Slow

    Quality construction but has some performance slowdown on large file transfers. It became too slow to transfer large files over 300GB. It would perform in the 2-400MB range until about 300GB in, then it would slow down to 15-25MB per second. Ultimately i couldnt use it to securely ship data to my data center.

    Not Reliable

    I have bought two Samsung 4TB Shield SSD drives, two Samsung T7 2TB Shield drives and two Samsung T7 2TB drives. The 2TB drives have all been reliable but the 4TB drives have not. I have had to send both of them back to Samsung, one of them twice because their transfer speeds dropped to almost nothing when they should be getting 500-575 Mb/s when connected to a USB 3.1 input. There are others who have seen this problem as well. I have found Crucial 4TB SSD drives to be far more stable and reliable. If you are considering getting a Samsung 4TB T7 Shield just take this this into consideration.

    I'd heard great things about this unit. I bought it hoping it would read & write faster than my 4 year old SanDisk 500GB Extreme PRO. It was close, but the T7 was slower, so I returned it. Beyond that I'm sure it does what it's designed to do.

    This drive is noticeably bulkier than the standard T7 drive I also have. I was disappointed to see that it does NOT include a rubber cover over the USB C port. This makes me question how truly “waterproof “ it can be. I’m sure it will work fine as a storage drive and it’s probably more resistant to being dropped. But I definitely wouldn’t consider it really waterproof. For the price I’m disappointed that Samsung was too cheap to include a USB port cover.
