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.

    So much faster than a USB 3.0 HDD

    So much faster than a USB 3.0 hard disc drive (HDD). When copying large amounts of data (tens to hundreds of GB of video files), this is a huge advantage. And the addition of IP65 dust and water resistance and more protection if dropped are very nice features for my usual settings of use.

    Works as advertised! I have 2 Samsung T7 Shields that I use with my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. Plug it in and it works. It withstood being coated with sand. Very low price per gigabyte, especially when compared to products like professional SD cards.

    I love the quickness! Ordering online from an electronic store can feel a bit outdated until I used Best Buy’s easy pick system. Only way to go.

    I also bought a high speed thunderbolt cable and, paired with this drive, it makes for a pretty darn fast transfer rate. I formatted in APFS on my M1 MacBook Pro to achieve maximum performance as opposed to compatibility and I'm glad I did. Thinking of buying another one to have more on-site backup of precious files.

    I bought this for my nephew to use for his summer internship in marketing/photojournalism. He will only use this type of external storage device. This particular one was purchased because the one his parents purchased for him has failed twice. This one is working well and there have been no lost files to date. It has plenty of storage, and should last a while depending on the number of photos and other content being stored.

    Wonderful device. Copied almost two TB to this drive and and an older T5 (also a great drive) but this one beat the older one easily in speed. Very fast, feels solid, well protected. I have not used any of the samsung software yet, it came formatted as exfat and worked on both my mac and PC.

    I got this SSD to work with my PS5. While it will not run PS5 games, it does free up install space on the internal SSD for all the PS4 games, and even provides storage for PS5 games. It is a good way to get more storage for a PS5 knowing that your PS4 installs will go here, freeing up space for PS5 titles.

    Amazing ssd drive. I have it plugged into my kid’s ps5 and it barely heats up with hours of use. Holds a ton of games, and ps4 games can be played directly from this external memory on the PS5

    The Samsung - T7 Shield 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Rugged SSD IP65 Water Resistant - (Black) is a very good external hard drive for storing mega documents and photos. Able to retrieve easily and accurately. I would recommend this product.
