    Sturdy, efficient, a life saver. Worth the money and the rigid one is the way to go. The connection cable is reliable and you’ll never not feel confident with this drive.

    I purchased this to store my Lightroom photos as my Mac Mini has minimal storage. I velcro’d this thing to my studio display and that’s all I needed.

    I use the T7 Shield 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Rugged SSD for my video and photo editing production drive. Read-write speeds are fast enough for editing 4k video timelines without lag. Will buy it again.

    It's very easy to install and setup and comes with tons of different screw options for different needs. Attaching the TV to the stand was a piece of cake

    Great Little External Hard Drive

    This is the smallest and fastest hart drive I ever had. Pretty cool that technology is allowing us to store a large amount of data something that would fit almost in my wallet. Samsung is a brand that I trust because I know they are at the forefront of technology. I have been using Samsung memory types and different styles for quite some time either it be an SD card, flash drive, microSD card and other small data forms however this is my first time using a large dataform with Samsung. I usually hate having an external hard drive because they’re usually big and it adds weight to my computer briefcase However this little guy is just perfect. With it being rugged I don’t feel as worried to keep it on me. The IP 65 Rating makes it water resistant and dust proof which is great for anybody typically with a hard drive as it will help against things like rain, spills, We’re a normal amount of dust that you would come into contact with like from a work bag purse office drawer or car etc. It does also say has heat resistant material but I am wondering if this is more because it’s such a small compact size and it helps protect its own he would you will produce when downloading or uploading from the device. The USB 3.2 technology is really nice when supported by the opposite device such as a laptop or pc. This will allow for high data read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s. If your main device does not support USB 3.2 It will not reach the speeds most likely however will reach the max be to which your device and USBs allow. So even if you do not have a current device that supports a USB 3.2, this will be preventative for the future as you are will already be equipped with a higher speed USB storage device or if you plug it in to somewhere else let’s say a friends computer. Yes this will work on a gaming console. This was tested on my PlayStation 4 which was able to upload A game without any flaws. If anything the floor was with the PS4 as it has a lower generation of USB ports. I’m sure the new Xbox and PS five probably have newer generations of USB ports which will be able to achieve higher rate read and write speeds however it is sufficient for the ps4.

    I already have two Samsung 1 TB SSDs, one just for videos and the other for photos, documents and music. Both of these are getting full so decided time to upgrade to a higher capacity unit.

    I mean ig its good. Slow as S.H.I.T to use as a boot device for an older 2017 Imac. If ur transfering multiple files that are above 200gigs dont get this over priced piece of technology and get a NVME with a case and thunderbolt cable.

    Works perfectly with Time Machine on my MacBook Air. Because of my lack of technical skills, a quick call to Apple support was all I needed to solve my backup problem using this device.

    Nice but could benefit from USB-C-C cable also

    Nice and compact with generous 2GB storage in a hopefully rugged enclosure Haven’t speed tested but seems to be functioning ok. Runs fine on Mac mini although I reformatted it and ditched the Samsung software One puzzle is the provision of micro usb to usb-c and usb A to usb C cables but no USB-C to USB-C cable.
