    Works just like the regular T7 but it has a rubbery case over it. Looks like it will collect dust if left out though. Works just like the original Samsung T7, very fast drive. I don't have any worries about putting data on it to store. Using the Thunderbolt 4 ports on my PC I get the full advertised speed. If you use anything else, or older USB standards you may not get the full speed. No matter what it's WAY faster than a spinning hard drive.

    I use as backup and external game drive. Very fast and being samsung, it should be very reliable. Extremely easy to move and carry around and the rubberized coating makes it feel extra protected against bumps.

    The T7 Shield 2TB Portable SSD

    The T7 Shield 2TB Portable SSD If you need a high-performance and portable storage solution for your data, this T7 Shield 2TB Portable SSD is definitely worth considering. This SSD is incredibly speedy with a read and write speed of up to 1050MB/s. The rugged exterior is also equipped with a sturdy aluminum casing that protects the drive from overheating and can withstand drops of up to 6 feet. I highly recommend this SSD to anyone who needs to store and transfer large amounts of data quickly and securely. If you do any sort of video editing this drive is amazing. I like that they come with a set up installed so it's easy to get up and running. Obviously, it'll take longer to see if it withstands the test of time, but so far so good.

    T7 and T9s are solid drives. Have yet to have one fail. T7s provide a slightly better price point when you don't need the more rugged protection of a T9.

    Slim, fast transfer speeds, and great color. Love that drive included a C to C and USB to C cables. Prefect for someone like me who can easily switch between my older laptop to my newer desktop/phone to easily store photos and documents. Wish I would have made this purchase sooner.

    I don't like to save personal photos, documents, or videos on my computer, so this external SSD is definitely worth getting. It freed up so much space on my computer. It's quick to transfer files over whether it be from my computer or my phones (iPhone and Samsung S22+ Ultra). I just wish that it was compatible with my Galaxy Tab Ultra; I haven't figured that out yet.

    This storage device was overall perfect for my needs. I mainly used it to store the games I normally wouldn't be able to hold on my laptop. The only issue I found was it would have connection issues from time to time where I would have to reset everything to get it to work but otherwise its Ideal.
