Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed to get some extra storage for my XBOX Series X and this fit the bill. My house is fairly dusty so I wanted something that could handle that environment. It's small so it's easy to place out of sight. Performance: Transferring games from the internal storage and from the 1TB expansion card to this drive I was getting between 214.26 and 226.41Gbps (Gigabits) which equates to 26.8 - 28.3 GBps (Gigabytes) with the games ranging between 500MB to 40GB. So far pretty solid drive. Samsung always makes really good products, and this tiny drive is no exception

Compact it stores lots of data. I have been saving lots of mp4 videos.

Very compact and sturdy. Comes with Samsung software called Magician to protect manage the contents of the drive. More user friendly and good interface. Transfer speeds are really amazing. Compatible with both my laptop and IPad. Definitely worth for the price and reliability.

The Samsung T7 Shield 1TB was super easy to unbox and set up right out of the package. Connecting it via USB-C was seamless, and transferring data was fast and smooth. Perfect for quick backups and on-the-go use—no hassle at all.

It works great for me. I am not one that gets real technical about measuring speeds. All I know is it works faster than other drives I have. On sale it was a great price for a 2TB, others were much higher in price. Love the outer shell for durability in the event I need to take it with me and accidentally drop it.

Love how small these are. Having 2 TB in such a small size is great for bringing along with a laptop. Plus, being solid state and USB C, makes for fast transfers.

Very fast. Life savior. I thought I had lost it all with the coffee spill but we were able to remove the HD and save files to this Samsung external drive without saving my files on someone else’s computer. I back up my new computer more often now. It is light weight. I am very pleased with this purchase.

My partner works in content creation for small businesses and has been working off HDD’s forever. I personally have been using internal and external SSD’s for a while and finally got her on the SSD wave. She’s extremely happy about the amount of storage and speed she is able to utilize. She is able to work Lightroom and Davinci projects directly from the drive with no hiccups. The T7 shield also provides her extra security from drops, which she was most worried about. Chose this over the Sandisk after their recent controversy with the Extreme Pro SSD issues. We’re extremely satisfied with the purchase.

The Samsung T7 Shield is a portable SSD drive that is ready to go with you whether you're hiking the trails or roaming the cubicles. The IP65 rated drive has a thick rubber jacket that can handle drops, dust and a splash or two. I like it because I don't have to worry about it getting banged up in my backpack. Samsung rates this drive at 1000 Mbps write and 1050 Mbps and I achieved this using CrystalDiskMark. Using the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test I got approximately 850 reads and writes. For comparison - my laptop SSD gets about 3500 Mbps for both reads and writes. The T7 ships with two cables, USB-C to USB-C and USB-A to USB-C. I did find that a USB-C cable I use with another drive didn’t work with the Samsung, I needed to use the enclosed cable. The drive worked as expected on my Windows PC, iMac as well as my iPad Pro. The T7 includes software that lets you password encrypt the drive to protect your files if it gets misplaced. I like the speed, versatility and three-year warranty of the Samsung T7 Shield. Yes, I would recommend this drive to a friend.

It's impossible for me NOT to love Samsung SDD portable drives. This one is the 7th one I own and while it was only a 1 TB drive this time, thanks to a birthday gift card,where the others were 2TB, the rugged design is only an issue if someone is rough on their equipment. I am not but this one still performs as the others do with reliable read speed, capacity and processing speed and I'm already looking to get the 8th sometime soon OR sell all these, but a high capacity drive and move everything to one drive. But until that time comes, this item covers my needs very well at a price I simply can never pass up.

Wanted something small but with large capacity to carry in my camera bag. To backup my photos.

The device is easy hook up and use and is very reliable.

Good external HD. Small and well protected by the case. Fast retrieval and easy to use. Recommend this SSD Drive.

VERY small and lightweight! I I love the color, the quality of the silicone cover and most importantly the performance! Much better than any hard drive I’ve previously used.

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.

Works great, easy to use, and the shell is a nice touch.

I am currently using this as a backup for my I-Mac. The blue color matches the blue color of the Mac. Small and super durable. No problems at all, Set it and forget it. The drive is a perfect match for Apple's Time Machine backup.

I have this same external stirage in black. Its easy to use. Can set up a file organizational sysyten with folders and files. Good transfer speed and easy to pmug and play. Highly recommend.

a bunch of storage and great product the only thing i would say get this if you know how to use it because its a whole process and it can be scary

The Samsung T7 Shield 4TBExternal USB is amazing! Exceedingly fast, dependable, and compact. I'm using it for my MacBook Pro Time Machine Daily Backup.
