I bought 2 units of this model to migrate information from one region to another of a critical customer and I found them to be a very good choice, size, performance and capacity. I highly recommend them.

I am in the process of gathering and organizing a boat load of Media. I purchased two of these 2 TB drives. I have always been a fan of Samsung drives=, but these T7 drives are amazing.

So far, it's been working as intended — fast file transfers, very convenient, tons of space. Only time will tell if it was worth the money.

The Samsug T7 has worked extremely well for me - but was even better was the service I received from the sales person I had at the Rockaway Store - George Balko was extremely helpful and friendly - he was able to answer all my questions and was very pleasant to do business with - he should be compliment - he is a very friendly and professional representative of Best Buy!

Needed to get some extra storage for my XBOX Series X and this fit the bill. My house is fairly dusty so I wanted something that could handle that environment. It's small so it's easy to place out of sight. Performance: Transferring games from the internal storage and from the 1TB expansion card to this drive I was getting between 214.26 and 226.41Gbps (Gigabits) which equates to 26.8 - 28.3 GBps (Gigabytes) with the games ranging between 500MB to 40GB. So far pretty solid drive. Samsung always makes really good products, and this tiny drive is no exception

Best hard drive as far as function and size and portability and speed! Love that it works seamlessly between my PC and my Mac.

The Samsung T7 Shield is a portable SSD drive that is ready to go with you whether you're hiking the trails or roaming the cubicles. The IP65 rated drive has a thick rubber jacket that can handle drops, dust and a splash or two. I like it because I don't have to worry about it getting banged up in my backpack. Samsung rates this drive at 1000 Mbps write and 1050 Mbps and I achieved this using CrystalDiskMark. Using the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test I got approximately 850 reads and writes. For comparison - my laptop SSD gets about 3500 Mbps for both reads and writes. The T7 ships with two cables, USB-C to USB-C and USB-A to USB-C. I did find that a USB-C cable I use with another drive didn’t work with the Samsung, I needed to use the enclosed cable. The drive worked as expected on my Windows PC, iMac as well as my iPad Pro. The T7 includes software that lets you password encrypt the drive to protect your files if it gets misplaced. I like the speed, versatility and three-year warranty of the Samsung T7 Shield. Yes, I would recommend this drive to a friend.

This is the best rugged SSD hard drive you can get so far haven't had any issues fast speeds solid construction currently using for video editing

Love how small these are. Having 2 TB in such a small size is great for bringing along with a laptop. Plus, being solid state and USB C, makes for fast transfers.

Excellent hard disk with good speed and reliability. Easy to use and works exactly as expected.

My partner works in content creation for small businesses and has been working off HDD’s forever. I personally have been using internal and external SSD’s for a while and finally got her on the SSD wave. She’s extremely happy about the amount of storage and speed she is able to utilize. She is able to work Lightroom and Davinci projects directly from the drive with no hiccups. The T7 shield also provides her extra security from drops, which she was most worried about. Chose this over the Sandisk after their recent controversy with the Extreme Pro SSD issues. We’re extremely satisfied with the purchase.

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.

Good external HD. Small and well protected by the case. Fast retrieval and easy to use. Recommend this SSD Drive.

It works great for me. I am not one that gets real technical about measuring speeds. All I know is it works faster than other drives I have. On sale it was a great price for a 2TB, others were much higher in price. Love the outer shell for durability in the event I need to take it with me and accidentally drop it.

Ive had this for a while now and still have plenty of storage and it is super easy to pack up and take with me. This is the second one that I have and couldnt be more pleased.

Very fast. Life savior. I thought I had lost it all with the coffee spill but we were able to remove the HD and save files to this Samsung external drive without saving my files on someone else’s computer. I back up my new computer more often now. It is light weight. I am very pleased with this purchase.

The Samsung T7 Shield 4TBExternal USB is amazing! Exceedingly fast, dependable, and compact. I'm using it for my MacBook Pro Time Machine Daily Backup.
