Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this to use with my M2 Macbook Air as I always feel its better to expand external storage than buy a larger internal for the same amount of money. I do audio recording and video editing with files directly off of it and there’s no issues with buffering. File transfers go extremely fast so it really doesn’t feel like external storage. If you use any computer that supports the highest Thunderbolt/USB connections I highly recommend it. Definitely also a bonus that it’s extremely portable and durable

I love the speed of this SSD drive anyway, However, today, I was SO relieved I had decided to buy this Samsung shield hard drive! The moment It fell off my desk & hit the floor, my heart sank..... I feared losing all my work (as I'd done before with a different external drive). I plugged it back in, held my breath & started searching my folders..... exhale!!! Because I chose the extra sturdy drive ..... no files were lost or damaged. In the future, I shall ALWAYS buy the Samsung ssd portable shield drive. My work is far too valuable !!

Fast, sturdy, and convenient - ready to go where I go, always. By my side for every drone media shot/dump. Did I say it’s fast!?!?

Amazing and reliable product, compact and fast, for designers and creatives its an amazing choice

I picked up this Samsung portable SSD to pair with my MacBook Pro for handling large media projects, and it has instantly become one of the most important tools in my workflow. The speed on this drive is no joke transferring 4K footage, photos, project files, and backups feels almost instant. There’s no lag, no delays, and no hiccups when dragging huge folders over. Editing directly off the drive is smooth and stable, which is a massive help when working on tight deadlines or handling multiple client projects at once. The ribbed, shock-resistant design is a bonus. It feels durable, secure, and ready for travel, which is perfect for on-site shoots or switching between home, studio, and client locations. Despite being compact, it holds a ton of data and stays cool even during long transfers. If you’re a photographer, videographer, drone operator, or anyone dealing with large media files, this SSD is absolutely worth the investment. Fast, sturdy, and dependable exactly what you need for a streamlined and professional editing workflow. Highly recommended.

Perfect plug and play device. Easy to find to drop documents. As a doctoral student it has saved my life in storing research documents!

If you need an external storage for your games, look no further. . Buy this (portable) external storage device now! . I'm using this for my STEAM AAA-games. . They all load super fast, just exactly like my internal M.2 in my ACER gaming laptop you see there in my pix :) . Hurry while 1TB is (under) a 100 bucks now. . I got mine when it was only for a whopping 239$ :) :) :)

The Samsung T& external drive is an excellent product. I have used it to back up computers, load photos and data. It is fast and very easy to use. Highly recommended.

This drive is real fast. I mean, really really fast. I was able to copy over 1000 video and photo files from my computer to this drive in little over 2 mins. (That is 14 GB data.) Also, the drive looks really appealing and robustly designed. The drive doesn't seem to heat up even after consistent use and hence doesn't lose performance with aggressive usage. I would highly recommend this product.

I've been using the Samsung T7 Shield 2TB for a couple of years now, and it's been rock solid. Super fast speeds, really compact, and the rugged design has saved me more than once from drops and spills. The IP65 water and dust resistance is awesome for travel or just tossing it in a bag without worry. I’ve never had any issues with reliability or performance—just plug it in and it works every time. If you need a tough, portable SSD that can handle everyday bumps and adventures, this one’s a no-brainer.

Absolutely love this storage. Its easy and fast to move videos and pics from my phone to my Ipad pro. The speed is so so fast and this is such a light weight item. I definitely will buy another when i need it. I've erased and used so many times to make videos and YouTube stuff. O definitely recommend it. Its hardcore because of the case its in if it were to fall.

I absolutely love this drive. I don’t know a lot about computers or transfer speeds, etc. But everything transfers over very fast and I’m able to work in Final Cut Pro with it. Recently, I have had some issues with saving a FCP file to the drive. Also, the USB-C cord slips out VERY easily. It’s not a make or break, but very annoying.

This is a fantastic product! I was skeptical at first but found that 1 TB is more than what I needed for what I do! As a music producer I wanted to limit the amount of vsts and plugins I put natively on my MacBook and this has saved at least 100GB of storage on my computer. The best part about it is that you can encrypt it. This requires that you install the software that works wonderfully on MacOS. It’s definitely a greater sense of peace felt knowing that if it’s stolen the only way to access the information is by entering a password or taking it out by dismantling the product and bypassing encryption(I doubt anyone would go through this unless you’re the president)! Overall a great product and well worth the price as SSD is safer than HDD. I definitely wish I was able to get 2TB for future use but I doubt I’ll need it anytime soon! If you’re looking for a small yet affordable ssd this is definitely a great purchase and an overall great investment! If you are clumsy like me definitely check out the T7 shield! An added bonus is that the product comes with usb c and a cords! My only problem was trying to figure out how to properly install the software but after checking Samsung’s website it was made more clear than the instructions that come in box! If you’re not used to installing 3rd party software on MacOS there are plenty of YouTube videos entailing how!

This device is so easy to use, love that it can connect to USB-C, and has easy to grip coating. Has more than enough storage to back up my entire computer.

Purchased to replace an older external hard drive. Works great! Love how small and portable it os especially compared to the older one.

Nice quality External SSD. I use it for storing SLR's camera shot. The images and videos transfer over very quickly since this is an Solid State Drive rather than simply a hard disk drive. The over all build quality is great, its water restistant which is a major plus, and it has a rugged smooth feel to it. It hooks up very easily with an Apple computer since it has a USB to USB connection. I really could ask for anything more. I havent had any issues with the product and I will update this review if i do. My overall grade for the product and deal = A

I love this hard drive. Super fast and works great!

This SSD is very portable. The design is very sleek, outer case is designed for rough use. It is the size of the palm.

The Samsung T7 Shield 1TB is a rugged, high-performance SSD that’s perfect for on-the-go storage. With USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, it delivers fast file transfers, while its IP65 rating ensures water, dust, and drop resistance. The compact black design is both stylish and durable, making it ideal for outdoor use or demanding environments. It’s compatible with PC, Mac, and even some mobile devices. While slightly more expensive than non-rugged options, its reliability, speed, and toughness make it a top choice for anyone needing portable, rugged storage. Highly recommended!

Awesome! Easy to use and small and light to carry with you
