Very pleased with this unit and its performance. Physically it's durable and well protected, yet small and easy to store and transport. It connects flawlessly to all my devices including my Android phone, desktop computer, and my laptop, making it easy to quickly transfer files between them. Transfer speeds are much higher than wifi or Bluetooth, so large video files from my phone and 3D video camera are no problem. Will soon be acquiring more of these for continued storage and data backups. Highly recommended.

A great grab-and-go device for cloning your PC

The SSD comes with two cables -- a USB-A 3.x to USB-C, and a USB-C to USB-C. I confirmed that they are both data AND charge. So you can deploy them for other uses such as charging your phone or programming your microcontroller. The installation software supports Windows 7 and higher, macOS 10.10 and higher, and Android 5 and higher. Installation permits optional AES 256-bit hardware password protection. The datasheet says that it is drop-resistant to 3 meters. It is equipped with an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance.
I did a Windows 10 copy/paste backup of 53 GB in 44 minutes. I will continue to backup more at this rate. You could use Macrium Reflect to clone your whole drive to this grab-and-go device.

I love the speed of this SSD drive anyway, However, today, I was SO relieved I had decided to buy this Samsung shield hard drive!
The moment It fell off my desk & hit the floor, my heart sank..... I feared losing all my work (as I'd done before with a different external drive). I plugged it back in, held my breath & started searching my folders..... exhale!!! Because I chose the extra sturdy drive ..... no files were lost or damaged. In the future, I shall ALWAYS buy the Samsung ssd portable shield drive. My work is far too valuable !!

Tough, Reliable, and Fast: Samsung T7 Shield

I've been using the Samsung T7 Shield 2TB for a couple of years now, and it's been rock solid. Super fast speeds, really compact, and the rugged design has saved me more than once from drops and spills. The IP65 water and dust resistance is awesome for travel or just tossing it in a bag without worry. I’ve never had any issues with reliability or performance—just plug it in and it works every time. If you need a tough, portable SSD that can handle everyday bumps and adventures, this one’s a no-brainer.

I absolutely love this drive. I don’t know a lot about computers or transfer speeds, etc. But everything transfers over very fast and I’m able to work in Final Cut Pro with it. Recently, I have had some issues with saving a FCP file to the drive. Also, the USB-C cord slips out VERY easily. It’s not a make or break, but very annoying.

The Samsung T7 Shield 2TB SSD is an ideal portable storage solution, offering high-speed transfers up to 1,050 MB/s with USB 3.2 Gen 2. Built to withstand harsh conditions, its IP65 rating ensures water and dust resistance, while a rugged rubberized exterior protects against drops up to three meters. With 2TB storage, it’s perfect for storing large files like 4K videos and photo libraries, and it works seamlessly across Windows, Mac, and Android devices. While it’s pricier than some SSDs, its durability, speed, and capacity make it a great investment for professionals on the go.

Read a bunch of reviews before purchasing this. The Black Friday Sale was the icing on the cake. I mainly wanted to to move old game storage over I dont play. Dont have the need to play them ( and I couldnt justify the $400 price point for the 2TB Seagate
Xbox X Game SSD card) . As far as Transfer speed from consol to SSD, pretty satisified in my book. Followed a suggestion in a video review to preformat the SSD to NTFS before connecting it to my XBOX.
