Very Comfortable, portable, easy to configure, and overall a great device to keep handy! Love it!

This thing is lightning fast and works like a charm.

I purchased this drive from BestBuy in May of 2023. I've now had the drive for a year and four months. Yesterday, it began to fail. So to start off, the read/write on this drive is advertised as 1GB (1000 MB) and most I would get from BlackMagic's Disk Speed Test was around 500MB, which was unfortunate, but I had the drive and used it. I plugged it in yesterday, and it wouldn't mount. I couldn't repair it on my MacBook. Thankfully, a friend suggested connecting it to another Mac, which I was able to do, and the drive mounted. I was able to transfer files off, but it could not be repaired. It's no longer writable. I hope all my files are fine, but I won't know till I try to use them. This was very disappointing. I'm currently using the Samsung T7 Black 2TB drive from a client as my working drive now. I have two other Samsung drives. This one giving out makes me concerned about purchasing any more Samsung T7's which is TERRIBLE because they were a great option for my camera storage. Just to give all buyers a heads-up, this drive was regularly $349.99 at the time I purchased it. It was on sale for $219.99. And it is now currently $319.99 (was $499.99), which is a big jump. Not sure if lower price means "bad batch," but that was the case with the SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB SSDs a year or so back. Even if it's not, this price jump on the Samsung T& Shield 4TB is really predatory for Samsung.

It feels super secure and fast. I have had no issues with it thus far.

I use this for my iPhone 15pro max 256 gb along with the Blackmagic video recording app. Great for storing ProRes footage.

I upgraded from a HDD, and this thing is quiet, fast, and doesn't get too warm. The shock absorbing outer feels sturdy and makes me feel comfortable carrying it around in a bag.

Forgot i had this in my pocket and jumped in a pool and swam for a bit, next day went to use it and still worked totally fine.

This external SSD is solid! Love the transfer and write speeds. I highly recommend this product. Hopefully Samsung will come out with new colors for the 4TB model.

I bought it couple of months ago. I have to take care of bunch of data that are very important. This has been my trusted partner for storage.

Great external SSD for my MacBook Pro M3. Works like a charm.

Love my Samsung T7 Shield 2 TB External drive. A great product, perfect for Time Machine backups for my Apple laptop. Compact and durable, well-priced. Got one for my wife's laptop too!

Works great! Rugged enough to keep in a bag and not have to worry about it breaking

I rely on solid state drives to archive thousands of photos. This is my second SSD from Samsung and I wouldn’t go back to any other brand

I really can’t believe how small these things are now. This drive has blazing fast speeds, even when transferring from my old, backup HDD. You really can’t go wrong!

Great product to store all your files. Encrypted in the event you miss place it/someone gets it, your data isn’t easily available. Quick transfers if your computer is newer

Bought this to edit a project shot with the Sony Venice in 8k. Project total was over TB in footage and this drive did not disappoint.

Comes with usb-c to usb-a and usb-c to usb-c, but usb-c is a whole lot faster! Use the usb-c

This is the best storage device. I bought it for work and everything I have put on there has not even come close to the 2TB storage capacity.

I am very glad i purchased this. I have a Macbook pro thinking i wouod have to reformat this but it works right when you plug it in. And its so small too

Absolutely love this ssd I was able to get it for a great price and it is really fast so I have had no complaint. Highly recommend.
