Customers are saying

Customers find value in the product's excellent overall performance, particularly its impressive speed and portability. Its compact size, ample storage capacity, and sleek design are also highly appreciated. However, a small number of users have reported occasional connectivity issues, and some consider the price to be on the higher side.

    I've bought a number of products for saving data. Many don't live up to the hype. Some have totally destroyed irretrievably important data, showing it was problematic from the beginning. This little gadget has proven reliable.

    This is so fast compared to my other external drive that was not solid state. Works great with my M1 MacBook Air. Just as fast as the internal hard drive.

    A rugged little drive 1/3 the size of my phone that's hooked up to a usb port on my desktop. IT's functioning as a backup drive for my photos currently. I copied a lot of info in a very short time, and it's hungry for a lot more. It looks good, and has a feel like it's very well protected. I would definitely buy this again.

    As a photographer, I use the Samsung external drives and have bought many through Best Buy. Love the online order and curbside pick up. It's super easy. Best Buy employee, Tanner, was friendly and quick with meeting me at curbside.

    Fantastic little drive for Time Machine backups. Some people say it's a waste of money to buy an SSD for that purpose, but the noise of my old external HDD and the hang time on my iMac when the HHD was waking/spinning up to do a backup were SO annoying and frustrating. This Samsung SSD completed the first backup of about 2TB in less than an hour! Subsequent incremental backups are speedy and silent, and I don't notice any hang time at all. I followed the advice I read in several comments about buying a high-speed data cable to make sure I got the maximum read/write speeds possible with the drive (I did not test the speed with the original cable, so can't comment on that). So over all, kind of pricey, yes—but on sale and for the sake of my sanity, SO worth it.

    The T7 Shield delivered a fast data transfer, which is beneficial when transferring image files from 2006 to current. The T7 Shield is light weight and small enough to quickly take it on the go. The water and dust resistant was the reason I purchased this device, I am a careful individual, but the peace of mind was worth it.
