Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great, compact, easy to use, backs up my data with no issues.

Convenience would be the key word here. The T7 is lightweight and very durable. It's great for backing up files and general storage. The speeds are much faster than expected. I recommend this purchase.

This drive is fast, compact, and easy to use. It comes with both USB-A and USB-C cables so you can connect it to your system as long as you have an open port. It supports Mac and Windows and was pretty much just plug and play.

This is my go-to external photo storage solution for macOS. It’s fast enough to quickly access my library and big enough to give me room to grow. The rugged design is a nice bonus, making it feel durable without being too bulky. If you need a reliable and speedy SSD for photos, projects, or backups, this one’s a solid pick.

So far, this has worked great!! I’ve had it a month now, it’s travelled with me to Europe annd back, and it does exactly what I expect it to - I store all my photos on it and edit them on my laptop. It’s fast, small, and works great!

I bought 2 units of this model to migrate information from one region to another of a critical customer and I found them to be a very good choice, size, performance and capacity. I highly recommend them.

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

I purchased this external hard drive as an additional place to store my photos, documents, and videos. It has worked well for me so far, and is easy to use.

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.

Works as expected. Able to get my files backed up to this drive with no problem. Small enough not to take up a lot of desk space.

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.

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

Works as expected Sits nicely under my MacBook air

The Samsung T7 Shield 4Tb external SSDs is excellent for quick media transfers and for robust, portable video editing.

Needed a small, fast external HD. This one checks off all the boxes. Very satisfied.

I realized my work computer was working too hard to handle all my files. I also wanted a backup for my cloud backup (I'm pretty OCD about my documents), so I took a chance and picked up this Samsung. I have come to really appreciate the brand after buying a 1TB and a 2TB external USB drive as well as a 2 in 1 laptop. To find a 4TB drive that is almost as thin as the 1 and 2 TB drives is impressive to me (I also on a 1TB drive that's I don't know how many years old now and it's as big as an old school dictionary and about as heavy). It's fast and is just what I was looking for.

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.

Excellent speed and portability. Simply loved this 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.

Great harddrive. Small form factor, solid build, large capacity, quick data transfer.
