    Fantastic Portable SSD – Fast, Durable, and Stylis

    I recently picked up the Samsung T7 Shield 1TB External SSD in blue, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The performance is excellent — blazing-fast read/write speeds thanks to USB 3.2 Gen 2 make file transfers super quick and efficient. I use it for both work and personal files, and it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it without a hitch. What really sets this drive apart is its rugged design. The rubberized exterior not only looks sleek in the blue color but also provides extra protection against drops and bumps. Plus, with its IP65 water and dust resistance, I feel confident taking it on the go, even in less-than-ideal conditions. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry, making it perfect for travel or daily use. Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable, fast, and durable external SSD, the T7 Shield is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

    Simple to use and a great storage capacity for my dashcam. I previously attempted to use the small flash drive style, but formatting was always an issue. Plug the T7 Shield in and I can forget it's there. Very satisfied and I've got the storage to keep everything for a long time.

    I bought this device, I didn’t write the review before because I want to be sure it works as says. It is fast, safe, even you can use a password. By the way, days ago it fall off in a shallow water, just dried it and worked properly. It survived to the water and the downfall. I recommend it to everybody. I will buy other, with more capacity.

    The Samsung T7 Shield 1TB Portable SSD is an absolute game-changer for me. It's a fantastic machine that truly lives up to all my expectations. What I love most about it is how seamlessly it helps me transfer data between my brand new iPhone 15 Pro with USB-C and other devices. The speed is mind-blowing, with data transfers happening at a lightning-fast pace. This means I can easily move my important files and memories with ease. The T7 Shield's durability is another feature that impresses me. Knowing it's rugged and resistant to dust and water gives me confidence, whether I'm in a bustling city or out in nature. And the fact that it can survive a 9.8-foot drop is just remarkable. It's also super versatile, working with a range of devices, including PCs, Macs, Android gadgets, and gaming consoles. The inclusion of USB cables in the box makes it even more convenient. With a choice of 1TB or 2TB storage capacity and those sleek color options, this SSD is not just reliable but also stylish. It's made by Samsung, a brand I trust, known for its excellence in flash memory since 2003. In summary, the Samsung T7 Shield has truly exceeded my expectations. It's a perfect companion for my brand new iPhone 15 Pro with USB-C, and it's become an essential part of my digital life.

    Small but mighty. 1 TB - perfect for safe photo storage. Appears rugged and has been easy to use. SSD, not HD - fast, sturdy. Check prices carefully on external drives - lots of variation between models and stores. I think "T7" is a branding name, not specifically and only for this device. It's amusing to think that this tiny drive holds more computer data than existed in the universe - or at least on earth - for perhaps the first 10-20-30 years that computers existed.

    I’ve had this HDD for about 14 months now. I usually wait a while to write reviews for the products I buy, but this thing has been fantastic. Very fast and the two included cables ensure that I can connect it with my newer and older machines. I’ve used this HDD more than any other for the last year. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to buy it.

    I am currently using this as a backup for my I-Mac. The blue color matches the blue color of the Mac. Small and super durable. No problems at all, Set it and forget it. The drive is a perfect match for Apple's Time Machine backup.

    I've been using it for a couple of weeks and it was plug-and-play, nor formatting needed and it is fast. On first use, it offered that I could set it up with encryption security. I may eventually enable that, but have not done so and cannot comment on that available feature. I am pleased with it as a storage device.

    Fast enough, small enough, tough enough

    This is a nice, small and relatively fast SSD that comes with some pre-loaded software depending on your computer type and a couple of USB cabes (C and A). I connected it to a Mac and installed the software that was preloaded on the SSD. However, I was unable to use the software as it could never detect that the SSD was connected to my Mac. I tried unplugging/replugging, rebooting my Mac, deleting and reinstalling the software but all my efforts were in vein. Regardless, I wasn't going to be using that software (I don't even know what it does since I was never able to run it) so that didn't bother me too much. I reformatted the SSD using the Mac's Disk Utility program to APFS and ran a Black Magic Speed Test on it. I don't really have much to compare, so I'm not sure if those results are good or just okay or bad. I'm guessing it's pretty good because my subjective sense of the speed of the SSD when dragging files onto it is that it's plenty fast for my purposes. I don't have any hesitation in recommending this SSD.

    I'm so pleased with the compact size of this External USB. It takes up 1/5 of the space of my old one. Very sturdy and much more storage as well. Would definately recommend.
