    I just hooked it up and the install was quick and smooth. I am suing for backup of my Mac Mini M2. I do not anticipate any problems had great reviews and the price is right

    Terrific and rugged external drive

    Ideal external drive, given the T7 Shield USB 3.2, a rugged exterior coating which is perfect for my use, this was an easy decision and great value. Additionally, Best Buy had this drive available for immediate delivery, simple advance order, and parking lot pickup. This experience could not have been more effortless.

    I love the solid slate SSD cards. I can use these anywhere and I don’t need an external power supply to access terabytes of information. USB C to C makes it fast and convenient.

    This is my third purchase from Best Buy and Samsung external drive series too. I have both 500GB, 2Tb besides 4TB T7 Shield. All are working fine except all take a memory-size of at least 7 to 9% which you cannot use.

    I like that this item is built very solid and the outer coating is soft so it wont scratch your laptop when resting on top of it. The memory is fast and secure which is great.

    It does what it’s supposed to do. It’s physically smaller my other external storage, so that’s a positive.
