I would recommend this to a friendI question it being waterproof.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This drive is noticeably bulkier than the standard T7 drive I also have. I was disappointed to see that it does NOT include a rubber cover over the USB C port. This makes me question how truly “waterproof “ it can be. I’m sure it will work fine as a storage drive and it’s probably more resistant to being dropped. But I definitely wouldn’t consider it really waterproof. For the price I’m disappointed that Samsung was too cheap to include a USB port cover.

I would recommend this to a friend Great portable hard drive
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fact that it’s SSD is even better, and rough too so if you happen to drop it on a hard surface, you don’t have to worry too much about it

So far, so good.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This one is better than the regular T7. The speed is a very subtle improvement, but it’s more about the build quality. It’s a much sturdier version of the previous.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.so far so good, it does get a little hotter than i expected it to, but i guess that is the rubber coating
I would recommend this to a friendGood entry level ssd
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The T7 is a good entry level ssd with decent transfer speeds for files needed on occasion.
I would recommend this to a friendSpeeds dont match.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Speeds dont match what is quoted. I am using this on a M1 Macbook air with an older anker usb c dongle (2018-2019). I was transferring some pretty big files from an SD card to this SSD. 50gb-150gb worth of data eqch transfer and it was taking 15-20min or more. Not happy about this. Will be contacting samsung

Small and compact
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Samsung T7 Shield 1 TB External SSD Drive is a small, compact easy to carry external hard drive that provides much needed storage expansion in many small and light laptops as well as a great desktop solution for people needing additional file storage. The T7 shield connects via a USB C port and supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10GPS) and utilizes the PCIe NVMe interface. All of this provides a really fast read and write speed. I am using the T7 to stream videos and I have not had any issues with lag whatsoever. I have been extremely happy with the performance of this drive so far. The Samsung T7 is equipped with an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance and is drop resistant for falls up to 3 meters. The Samsung T7 Shield has preinstalled software that is compatible for Windows, IOS and Mac and Android. The software that is included allows you to use the security features of the drive. If you don't want to use these additional features, then the drive is basically plug and play, once your computer recognizes the drive is connected. The drive even has a soft touch feel that adds a premium feel to this small drive, which fits easily in your pocket or will take up very little room in a computer bag. I am very pleased with the T7 Shield and I find myself taking it everywhere with me when I am using my laptop for personal use and for business. I happily recommend this drive to anyone looking to increase storage capacity.
