    While this isn't the latest model on the market, this Samsung - T7 Shield External Storage is fabulous. I like the added protection to make it less prone to damage. It is fast, easy to use, and has plenty of room to backup a computer. It is pretty straight-forward and suits my storage needs perfectly.

    Easy to use and great experience. I take this with me everywhere. You can you it with your phone or computer. Or even your tablet. Has amazing security so your personal downloaded information is secure. Lots of space. Best of all is it can take a fall on the ground without it being damaged. Water resistant as well. I highly recommend this potable memory. 1 TB of space as well. Wow. What a device.

    Small but mighty. 1 TB - perfect for safe photo storage. Appears rugged and has been easy to use. SSD, not HD - fast, sturdy. Check prices carefully on external drives - lots of variation between models and stores. I think "T7" is a branding name, not specifically and only for this device. It's amusing to think that this tiny drive holds more computer data than existed in the universe - or at least on earth - for perhaps the first 10-20-30 years that computers existed.

    It saved my life. Now everything is soo easy . Peace of mind using my Lumix S5 ii X. I can record in a very high quality. My camera activates a high res mode when i'm recording to an external device. No complaints. I would definitively buy again.

    The Samsung T7 Shield 1TB Portable SSD is an absolute game-changer for me. It's a fantastic machine that truly lives up to all my expectations. What I love most about it is how seamlessly it helps me transfer data between my brand new iPhone 15 Pro with USB-C and other devices. The speed is mind-blowing, with data transfers happening at a lightning-fast pace. This means I can easily move my important files and memories with ease. The T7 Shield's durability is another feature that impresses me. Knowing it's rugged and resistant to dust and water gives me confidence, whether I'm in a bustling city or out in nature. And the fact that it can survive a 9.8-foot drop is just remarkable. It's also super versatile, working with a range of devices, including PCs, Macs, Android gadgets, and gaming consoles. The inclusion of USB cables in the box makes it even more convenient. With a choice of 1TB or 2TB storage capacity and those sleek color options, this SSD is not just reliable but also stylish. It's made by Samsung, a brand I trust, known for its excellence in flash memory since 2003. In summary, the Samsung T7 Shield has truly exceeded my expectations. It's a perfect companion for my brand new iPhone 15 Pro with USB-C, and it's become an essential part of my digital life.

    This hard drive does what you want it to do. It's compact, durable, and fast. I use it on the road recording and photographing bands. It stays in my backpack and takes a bit of a beating and I've never had an issue with it at all. I recommend this hard drive for anyone taking photos or videos while on the road traveling.

    This is my 2nd of these drives & I couldn't be happier with them. They are LIGHTNING fast when it comes to transferring large amounts of data from an Android device & vice-versa. They're perfect for those who take a lot of pictures or who use their mobile device like a laptop PC & need an external-type drive that's a more stable & reliable alternative to the cloud. The only downside to the device is the cataloging in that, if you do use this for pictures and you've spent time "tagging" your photos for easy searching, the tags DO transfer to the drive in the metadata, but ate not searchable in thus manner (as far as I can tell) as that's only a feature available in Samsung's Gallery. Another downside might be that you need to open each file individually, rather than being able to scroll through them like you'd be able to in a "Gallery" setting. ... I'm sure there are ways around this/apps to fix this, I just haven't found them yet. ... But- For the purpose of versatile, stable, reliable, FAST, large capacity & EXTREMELY portable data storage, this is TOTALLY the way to go for any of your storage needs!

    Super fast transfers, does get a little warm but that’s a given when moving a lot files to and from a hard drive. Works super great for my mobile gigs when using it to access my music from my laptop. Probably gonna buy another one to be a backup

    This is an excellent addition to my M1 Mac Mini. The capacity of the drive, the small size and rugged shell are ideal as needed to clean up my desk and make my setup semi portable. This drive replaces a group of spinning HDDs resulting in a much smaller footprint, fewer power plugs and usb cables. Awesome upgrade.

    Definitely happy with this product. As a graduate student, I needed something that was easy to carry (like a USB) but also tough enough not to break (like USBs tend to do). This is perfect. It's tough, durable, and water resistant. It also has great capacity and fantastic speeds.

    Great small form and durable SSD. Small enough to fit in your pocket and fast enough to use for video editing with a large capacity. I purchased the 4tb about a month ago and have been very happy with it so far. I would definitely recommend it. I use it between Windows and a Mac OS so I did not format it but, it seems to work perfectly. I found it on sale and the only thing I would say is that it is a little pricey for the larger size drives at full price. This is the only negative I have found so far. I will be interested to see the longevity of the drive.
