    This is a wonderful portable SSD hard drive does what it’s supposed to do very fast connection to my laptop. I have not dropped it yet, but I’m confident it can withstand a fair amount of drops. You definitely get what you pay for with this product.

    While this isn't the latest model on the market, this Samsung - T7 Shield External Storage is fabulous. I like the added protection to make it less prone to damage. It is fast, easy to use, and has plenty of room to backup a computer. It is pretty straight-forward and suits my storage needs perfectly.

    This hard drive does what you want it to do. It's compact, durable, and fast. I use it on the road recording and photographing bands. It stays in my backpack and takes a bit of a beating and I've never had an issue with it at all. I recommend this hard drive for anyone taking photos or videos while on the road traveling.

    It's fast, it's durable, and it's very portable. Notwithstanding difficulty using this on my USB-C port, it is exactly the cure for my need to store large numbers of videos with immediate access.

    Best Portable SSD

    I purchased this to replace an older style portable HD and provide me more assurance my information would be safe and not get stranded when the old drive (not an SSD) decided to stop functioning. I couldn't be happier with the durability, speed, and compact nature of this device. Samsung memory devices have always performed well for me and I will always use them when possible.

    Definitely happy with this product. As a graduate student, I needed something that was easy to carry (like a USB) but also tough enough not to break (like USBs tend to do). This is perfect. It's tough, durable, and water resistant. It also has great capacity and fantastic speeds.

    I bought this external ssd and loaded up macOS on it to boot. My late 2015 iMac computer now runs like a breeze. I would highly recommend this product. Fast and very small and sleek.

    For those looking for well built, reliable, compact and fast transfer of data (images), I have found these small external hard drives to be everything you could ask for in an external drive. Built tough, and very durable and reliable. I have 4 and will be buying more. Once they get up to larger capacity SSD I will be buying them as well.

    Durable SSD, much slimmer than I anticipated. I’m not getting into specifics but transfer speeds are noticeably fast, thing flies. Definitely already dropped it a few times without any signs of wear. Samsung makes great products.

    I've been using the Samsung T5's for about 6 to 7 years now and I really thought those were the best and super fast but wow have times changed. I'm sure when I bought them, they were top tier of SSD's. I just recently purchased the T7 and its a huge change in speed. (For me anyway) Same reliability as always and have never had any issues with the samsung SSD. Fast and reliable and now adding the rubberized coating to make them a little more resistant to scratches and drops, etc... I'm sure these will now last me a good 6,8+ years. My only gripe is they're pretty expensive compared to other brands but since I've used them for a while now, they have not let me down. So I'll continue to pay a little extra I guess to get what I want and need.

    Very compact and sturdy. Comes with Samsung software called Magician to protect manage the contents of the drive. More user friendly and good interface. Transfer speeds are really amazing. Compatible with both my laptop and IPad. Definitely worth for the price and reliability.

    We use these SSD's for our productions on a monthly basis. The rugged design is crucial for us when sending out drives to clients after a shoot, and these SSD's always perform phenomenally! Quick, fast, slim, and efficient.
