    Good speeds and rugged design, it’s not the fastest drive around but it has really good transfer speeds and the casing helps with heat, it barely gets warm under heavy transfers.

    I’ve been using the standard version of these drives for quite a while. Having the ruggedized version is probably a better plan based on my cuteness.

    This is the hard drive to have. A super fast processing transferring files and organizing.. It’s a nine day difference from any other hard drive. You have to spend the money where you need the most.

    Failing Drive - 1/2 of Advertised Read/Write Speed

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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 bought this for my teen son for occasional real backups so he don’t rely exclusively on cloud storage or “synchronization” storage. Fast and rugged.
