    Fantastic little drive for Time Machine backups. Some people say it's a waste of money to buy an SSD for that purpose, but the noise of my old external HDD and the hang time on my iMac when the HHD was waking/spinning up to do a backup were SO annoying and frustrating. This Samsung SSD completed the first backup of about 2TB in less than an hour! Subsequent incremental backups are speedy and silent, and I don't notice any hang time at all. I followed the advice I read in several comments about buying a high-speed data cable to make sure I got the maximum read/write speeds possible with the drive (I did not test the speed with the original cable, so can't comment on that). So over all, kind of pricey, yes—but on sale and for the sake of my sanity, SO worth it.

    We bought this external drive to place in our vehicle for drive camera footage storage. It was super easy to set up and start using. It's thin enough to fit in a small area and be "hidden". Would definitely recommend.

    I have used external HHD's for years and thought that I would give the external SSD a go and MAN it is a night and day difference in transfer speed, especially when using the USB-C cable I transferred over 17 GB to my MacBook Air in less than a minute.

    Don’t drop this down an elevator shaft or anything like that, but this ssd is actually built pretty sturdy, and it’s meant for field use, and it’s great for local file migrations for the media specialist on the go, or for any technician on a site visit that needs to make larger local data transfers.

    This storage device was overall perfect for my needs. I mainly used it to store the games I normally wouldn't be able to hold on my laptop. The only issue I found was it would have connection issues from time to time where I would have to reset everything to get it to work but otherwise its Ideal.

    The T7 Shield delivered a fast data transfer, which is beneficial when transferring image files from 2006 to current. The T7 Shield is light weight and small enough to quickly take it on the go. The water and dust resistant was the reason I purchased this device, I am a careful individual, but the peace of mind was worth it.
