Very compact and easy to use. Since it’s solid state it’s very fast.

A rugged little drive 1/3 the size of my phone that's hooked up to a usb port on my desktop. IT's functioning as a backup drive for my photos currently. I copied a lot of info in a very short time, and it's hungry for a lot more. It looks good, and has a feel like it's very well protected. I would definitely buy this again.

I have used external HHD's for years and thought that I would give the external SSD a go and MAN it is a night and day difference in transfer speed, especially when using the USB-C cable I transferred over 17 GB to my MacBook Air in less than a minute.

Don’t drop this down an elevator shaft or anything like that, but this ssd is actually built pretty sturdy, and it’s meant for field use, and it’s great for local file migrations for the media specialist on the go, or for any technician on a site visit that needs to make larger local data transfers.

Fantastic little drive for Time Machine backups. Some people say it's a waste of money to buy an SSD for that purpose, but the noise of my old external HDD and the hang time on my iMac when the HHD was waking/spinning up to do a backup were SO annoying and frustrating. This Samsung SSD completed the first backup of about 2TB in less than an hour! Subsequent incremental backups are speedy and silent, and I don't notice any hang time at all. I followed the advice I read in several comments about buying a high-speed data cable to make sure I got the maximum read/write speeds possible with the drive (I did not test the speed with the original cable, so can't comment on that). So over all, kind of pricey, yes—but on sale and for the sake of my sanity, SO worth it.

The T7 Shield delivered a fast data transfer, which is beneficial when transferring image files from 2006 to current. The T7 Shield is light weight and small enough to quickly take it on the go. The water and dust resistant was the reason I purchased this device, I am a careful individual, but the peace of mind was worth it.
