Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great external drive! We used this to transfer a large amount of data from an old computer to a new laptop. It saved us a lot of time!

I am pleased that these devices are available at affordable prices. Vast improvement over the non-ssd's.

Good fast drive (3.2 gen 2). Get the fast ones when they are in special. Only issue is the ribbed surface. Hard to affix a label.

Bought this drive for my videography and photography work and it truly is phenomenal. The performance is incredible and when it’s on sale, it’s a great value !

Good hard drive . Works good . Would recommend it for sure

So far so good. Bought it as an upgrade to the dash cam storage. Seamless playback, lots of space. Seems solid. Very happy.

I use this to store my VM's and the performance is great. No noticeable difference between having them on this external drive and storing them on internal storage.

This thing is lightning fast and works like a charm.

Super fast easy to set up encryption. Samsunf reliability. Dont have to worry about constant data fails like with WD/SD.

The ease of use and speed of this roomy SSD is spectacular. It’s so good, I don’t remember how slow my old 1TB device was

Excellent external hard drive. Small and compact easy to carry and since it is ssd no worries about disc failure or damage. Plenty odd of storage space.

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.

It feels super secure and fast. I have had no issues with it thus far.

Great external SSD for my MacBook Pro M3. Works like a charm.

I needed to offload pictures from my phone and computer. The Samsung T7 Shield was easy to use and is SSD - so I feel confident in the storage safety. Great way to free up space on my computer.

SSD does everything i need it to in a timely maner. Has worked with every device i have connected it to including Galaxy Tab S8+, Steam Deck, PS5.

I've had many Samsung SSD's and they work amazingly for me. I figured since I go through the 1TB SSD's so much I might as well go for the 4TB version.

This Samsung 2TB Harddrive is excellent! It has worked perfectly and loads very quickly. I hope it continues to work for many years!

Very Comfortable, portable, easy to configure, and overall a great device to keep handy! Love it!

I was running out of room on my MacBook Pro's SSD, thanks to a growing number of Test VM's that I need for work. After reading up on different options, I went ahead with this one and I'm glad I did. Not only is it super compact and nicely ruggedized, but it's fast enough to run my VM's like they were still on the native hard drive. Can't really ask for more than exactly what I needed to keep my workflow running smoothly.
