Samsung External Drive.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very Rugged and Good Value for the Price . Should come with better Storage container
I would recommend this to a friendNot as fast as I'd hoped
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Not Reliable
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Thank you for choosing the T7 Shield SSD!
To remove all existing partitions and make your T7 Shield SSD a single unallocated drive, you can follow these steps depending on your operating system:
WINDOWS:
Connect the T7 Shield SSD to your computer.
Press Win + X and select Disk Management.
Locate your T7 Shield drive in the list.
Right-click each partition on the drive and select Delete Volume.
Once all partitions are deleted, the drive will show as Unallocated.
macOS:
Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility).
Select the T7 Shield SSD from the sidebar.
Click Erase at the top.
Choose a format (e.g., exFAT for cross-platform compatibility).
Click Erase to remove all partitions and reformat the drive.

Fast Enough & Big Enough & waterproof!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the touch version of this and have always wanted something a bit more rugged. I dont have to worry of a Monster Energy explodes in my work bag - worth every penny.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.so far so good, it does get a little hotter than i expected it to, but i guess that is the rubber coating
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Speed
So far, so good.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This one is better than the regular T7. The speed is a very subtle improvement, but it’s more about the build quality. It’s a much sturdier version of the previous.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Overall performance
Great deal when on sale.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As good or better than the original T7. But the rubbery coating makes it less slippery and durable. Works great for my use as external PS4/5 extended storage.
