These have come down in price over the last year, and 1 TB is a great size to start with. I use these for travel, it's rugged and durable.
Failing Drive - 1/2 of Advertised Read/Write Speed

I purchased this drive from BestBuy in May of 2023. I've now had the drive for a year and four months. Yesterday, it began to fail.
So to start off, the read/write on this drive is advertised as 1GB (1000 MB) and most I would get from BlackMagic's Disk Speed Test was around 500MB, which was unfortunate, but I had the drive and used it.
I plugged it in yesterday, and it wouldn't mount. I couldn't repair it on my MacBook. Thankfully, a friend suggested connecting it to another Mac, which I was able to do, and the drive mounted. I was able to transfer files off, but it could not be repaired. It's no longer writable. I hope all my files are fine, but I won't know till I try to use them.
This was very disappointing. I'm currently using the Samsung T7 Black 2TB drive from a client as my working drive now. I have two other Samsung drives. This one giving out makes me concerned about purchasing any more Samsung T7's which is TERRIBLE because they were a great option for my camera storage.
Just to give all buyers a heads-up, this drive was regularly $349.99 at the time I purchased it. It was on sale for $219.99. And it is now currently $319.99 (was $499.99), which is a big jump. Not sure if lower price means "bad batch," but that was the case with the SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB SSDs a year or so back. Even if it's not, this price jump on the Samsung T& Shield 4TB is really predatory for Samsung.
I’m very sorry for the difficulties you’ve experienced with your T7 Shield SSD and your experience fell short of expectations. We completely understand your frustrations, and we are here to help.
Please contact Samsung Customer Support directly so that we can better investigate your issue and assist you towards a resolution or replacement.
Samsung stands behind the quality and performance of every T7 Shield SSD we manufacture with a limited 3-year manufacturer’s warranty when purchased brand-new, directly from any authorized dealer, like Best Buy.
We hope to hear from you soon.

Has performed as expected. Samsung SSDs have been top tier for a long time for reason. Would 1000% recommend this to family or friends.

Easy to install, size is excellent, took forever to move my pictures over to it, ( TBH, I had a lot of pictures), but now I know that they are backed up!

This is a well built drive games install fast and transfer fast to my internal drive. I recommend getting this external if you are looking for one for the PS5.

Pretty good works and is fast, I have transfers terabytes of files over with ease and compared the sizes and they match no data loss and new drive is faster :)

Compact, sturdy, works well. My only complaint is the short cord is stiff and curved which makes it awkward when putting the laptop down and placing the hard drive off to the side.

For work, I regularly run 2-3 active Virtual Machines at all times and need to keep at least a half dozen VMs ready to run at all times. It takes a lot of storage. Active VMs are very high I/O and I run the VMs from this device. Performance is excellent. Highly recommended for this purpose.
