    Should Have Bought This Sooner

    Slim, fast transfer speeds, and great color. Love that drive included a C to C and USB to C cables. Prefect for someone like me who can easily switch between my older laptop to my newer desktop/phone to easily store photos and documents. Wish I would have made this purchase sooner.

    Works just like the regular T7 but it has a rubbery case over it. Looks like it will collect dust if left out though. Works just like the original Samsung T7, very fast drive. I don't have any worries about putting data on it to store. Using the Thunderbolt 4 ports on my PC I get the full advertised speed. If you use anything else, or older USB standards you may not get the full speed. No matter what it's WAY faster than a spinning hard drive.

    So far, this unit is performing very well. The write speed is fast and the connection is stable. Data gets pulled instantaneously and video plays back with no delay. Time will tell, but for now, very happy.

    Amazing write speed, load of space, very rugged to I know nothing will happen to it if it drops, and with the C port I can plug it into basically anything to transfer files I love it.

    I bought two T7 Shields to store the multitude of photos I took on a road trip. The great thing about them is that I can toss them in a bag when I pack. They aren't delicate like a hard disk drive. As a bonus, they are fast compared to an HDD.

    Very nice drive. Easy to setup and use with password protection. Works well with Windows 11. One drawback and it may be a lack of understanding on my part but I haven't been able to use 2 of these drives at the same time.

    I don't like to save personal photos, documents, or videos on my computer, so this external SSD is definitely worth getting. It freed up so much space on my computer. It's quick to transfer files over whether it be from my computer or my phones (iPhone and Samsung S22+ Ultra). I just wish that it was compatible with my Galaxy Tab Ultra; I haven't figured that out yet.

    Not to small and not big at all. Easy to carry its small enough to never be in the way and big enough for easy access. Cant say much about the rugged part, its something ill always try not to drop but just in case right?
