    These hard drives have not given me much trouble at all. Very reliable, very fast, and very low profile. I use them with a lot of my video editing projects and currently own like 5 of these. I highly recommend. Also, the rugged design is great!

    Fast enough, small enough, tough enough

    This is a nice, small and relatively fast SSD that comes with some pre-loaded software depending on your computer type and a couple of USB cabes (C and A). I connected it to a Mac and installed the software that was preloaded on the SSD. However, I was unable to use the software as it could never detect that the SSD was connected to my Mac. I tried unplugging/replugging, rebooting my Mac, deleting and reinstalling the software but all my efforts were in vein. Regardless, I wasn't going to be using that software (I don't even know what it does since I was never able to run it) so that didn't bother me too much. I reformatted the SSD using the Mac's Disk Utility program to APFS and ran a Black Magic Speed Test on it. I don't really have much to compare, so I'm not sure if those results are good or just okay or bad. I'm guessing it's pretty good because my subjective sense of the speed of the SSD when dragging files onto it is that it's plenty fast for my purposes. I don't have any hesitation in recommending this SSD.

    For those looking for well built, reliable, compact and fast transfer of data (images), I have found these small external hard drives to be everything you could ask for in an external drive. Built tough, and very durable and reliable. I have 4 and will be buying more. Once they get up to larger capacity SSD I will be buying them as well.

    I've been using it for a couple of weeks and it was plug-and-play, nor formatting needed and it is fast. On first use, it offered that I could set it up with encryption security. I may eventually enable that, but have not done so and cannot comment on that available feature. I am pleased with it as a storage device.

    I love this ssd drive. Not only is it made by Samsung but this thing is rugged. Its got like a rubberized exterior and is easiy to grip. Its small enough to fit in your shirt pocket and its fast when transferring from ssd to ssd. The only drawback is its price. Probably in sn year they will be half the cost and much more afordable.

    THis is a great hard drive. It's fast and offers a lot of storage. Compact drive with a cord that is actually a reasonable length to use the hard drive.

    I bought this to replace my old HDD that somehow got corrupted. This SSD is blazing fast, small, light, and portable. I ripped my bluray and 3d movies to it and plug into my Xbox series X and turned it into a media hub. This is definitely worth buying, I have absolutely NO COMPLAINTS

    Durable SSD, much slimmer than I anticipated. I’m not getting into specifics but transfer speeds are noticeably fast, thing flies. Definitely already dropped it a few times without any signs of wear. Samsung makes great products.

    I've been using the Samsung T5's for about 6 to 7 years now and I really thought those were the best and super fast but wow have times changed. I'm sure when I bought them, they were top tier of SSD's. I just recently purchased the T7 and its a huge change in speed. (For me anyway) Same reliability as always and have never had any issues with the samsung SSD. Fast and reliable and now adding the rubberized coating to make them a little more resistant to scratches and drops, etc... I'm sure these will now last me a good 6,8+ years. My only gripe is they're pretty expensive compared to other brands but since I've used them for a while now, they have not let me down. So I'll continue to pay a little extra I guess to get what I want and need.

    Samsung's T7 Shield 4TB External USB is an excellent external storage device! It's light weight, small, and water/damage resistant. It provides me a reliable, convenient way to store and retrieve all of my data quickly.
