Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice design looks great on my desk. HD speed and capabilities are as advertised

Small, portable, fast. Great storage device. Highly recommend

Great piece of equipment. Fast. Easy to access. Reliable.

I've owned a few Samsung SSDs in the past, and they've never disappointed. This new generation continues that legacy of great performance, with the added bonus of a new rugged build. It's slightly "rubberized" (though I'm not sure what the material is technically called), and it gives me great confidence when handling the drive. I've used this drive for multiple applications so far, and it's passed each test with flying colors. GENERAL STORAGE This is use case that almost everyone will go with, and it performs exactly as it should. Read/write speeds are quite fast, the 2TB capacity is more than enough, and with the connection port being USB-C, it interfaces with essentially any device. I've been able to move my data between my Mac, my PC, my Android tablet, and my Linux desktop with no issues. DUAL BOOTING Speaking of my Linux desktop, as someone who distro-hops as a hobby, I've experimented with a disk partition on this drive holding a Linux distribution (Mint) and the read/write speeds were so fast that if you told me I was running the OS on an external drive instead of an internal one, I wouldn't have believed you. STEAM STORAGE This is the ultimate destination of the drive for me - my PC laptop only has a 250GB internal drive, and that's not nearly enough for my Steam library. With a few clicks of the mouse, I've been able to install my entire Steam library to this T7 and game performance has been smooth and fast. In summary - Samsung SSD = good. The new T7 Shield continues that legacy.

We have used Samsung SSDs in our business for some time, and have found them reliable, fast, and in the case of the ruggedized Shield drives extremely resistant to damage when transported. We have never had problems with any Samsung SSD and have standardized on them for backup and data transport.

I’m doing bar studies right now, so I needed a way to have my study aids and videos everywhere I went. I thought about a USB drive, but prefer the reliability and speeds of solid state drives. The Samsung T7 Shield was a great option for me, so I went with it. One of my main reasons for going with the T7 is, like I said, solid state drives are far more reliable than the old portable hard drives with moving parts. I had an old WD portable hard drive that quit working on me after only a few times used. The thing looks new, and practically was new. I tried a few things to try to fix it, but nothing worked. So, I went with the T7. As soon as I received the T7 shield, I moved close to 1tb of data (videos, audios files, and docs). The wiring speed were great. The drive did get a bit hot, but I didn’t have any issues getting all of my files saved to the drive. As for security, you have the ability to setup a code so that only you can access it. Just make sure not to lose your code, as there is an explicit warning of not being able to recover if you forget. Overall, I am very happy with my Samsung T7 shield. The rugged protection is great. It is water resistant and dust resistant. I would highly recommend the T7 shield.

This a great/quick external ssd drive. The size of this drive makes it easy to carry around and bring out whenever needed.

I travel for work and bring a gaming laptop with me to have something todo and it works great having games on it would recommend purchasing if your traveling and need something safe to store.

Just what I needed with plenty of space and easy to transfer.

This little thing surprised me. I was expecting a pretty fast hard drive that would be fairly close in size to my collection of other portable hard drives I have lying around. The box for this one threw me off because when I opened it, it's so small. Don't let that fool you, though, it packs a punch. Setup was non-existent for me. I plugged it in and it showed up in Windows immediately. There are installers preloaded on the drive for Windows, Mac and Linux but I didn't care to add anything to my system when the drive was working just fine on it's own. The box comes with a USB-C to C cable as well as a USB-A to C cable in case you're using it on a system without an available USB-C port. The drive feels pretty nice with a nice rubbery texture that makes it feel rugged and well built for such a small device. I liked the status light was multiple colors instead of the normal single white or green or blue light like I'm used to. I tested copying some folders with a bunch of small files as well as some larger files and both were very impressive. The drive pretty much kept up with the internal drives the files were being copied from. I don't really know what else to say. It's a hard drive. It's a really fast hard drive. If you're looking for a large sized external drive that acts like it's connected to a super fast internal interface then this is probably what you're looking for. I can see this coming in handy for video editors that want to be able to take their files with them when they're using multiple workstations or anywhere that may need to work with large files and transfer them between computers quickly. Or even if you just want extra space on your computer but you don't want to crack it open to add any internal storage.

It is a fast and rugged device the exceeded my expectations. Look at the transfer rates before you buy, this a good one.

This seems good so far. I just tested it once and it works well. It's nice and small and seems sturdy.

Easy to like--this SSD is small and fits easily in my notebook bag and provide amazingly fast 2TB storage wherever I go.

Rugged and ready to get the job done. I was so tired of backing up my data on a flash drive then you end up losjng it. With this product, it takes the thinking out of it. Plug in device, download or up load and thats it.

Love this drive fast reliable and easy to use. and it is rugged too.

So far so good it’s works fabulously for what I need it to do. I love the compact size.

So far, its storage as well as transfer data speeds is good.

This is a great compact, fast and affordable hard drive.

Great external drive! Really fast on transferring data and password protected!

I bought two of these for backups and they are fast and seem to be of good/solid construction. Note...the small size is great and I got them on sale...BIG PLUS!). I've got confidence in Samsung product quality and hope/feel they will work as hoped for and also will last a long time.
