    I needed a device to save and password protect my sensitive documents as I travel often and work remotely. The T7 Shield was on sale so decided to try it out. It fits my needs perfectly. Not only is it compact but the rate of transfer is extremely fast. It was easy to set up and did not have any hang-ups or delays when transferring files. So far it's worth the 5 star rating.

    I'm so pleased with the compact size of this External USB. It takes up 1/5 of the space of my old one. Very sturdy and much more storage as well. Would definately recommend.

    Best 4TB SSD for general use. It's small, simple, and reliable. The rubber cover picks up some dust, but it's overall an upgrade over the T5.

    I bought this as a memory storage device for my first trip to El Salvador, and had over 2,450+ photos taken, and approximately 150+ videos,, and i believe I used about 20% of the space. This is the best portable hard drive i have ever utilized. Extremely lightning fast transfer speeds, I've never carried so much storage space within such a small item. Its unbelievable how much storage is able to be stored nowadays.

    A Great Little Big Drive!

    I was looking for an external ssd for my new laptop and spotted this one afternoon. It was on sale so I bought it. It was a lot smaller that it looked in the picture (a good thing). The drive is encased in a rubber-like substance and has a USB-C port next to a small LED that shows the drive is operating and transferring data on one end. It comes with two small connectors: one has a USB-C connector on both ends; the other has a USB-A 3.0 connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other. This allows connection to most computers available today (including quite a few older ones). Its dimensions are 3.5" x2.3" x 0.3" or smaller than a 3" x 5" spiral top note pad. I use it for projects and work-related files but this would be perfect for a gaming computer. Plugged into a USB-A 3.2 USB port, this thing transfers files very fast but plugged into a USB-A Thunderbolt 4.0 port transfers are nearly instantaneous. While running projects the external drive behaves just like the internal SSD on my laptop. Transfers and updates are in the "blink of an eye", so to speak. If your computer is short on SSD space, this device is an excellent choice for additional hard drive space for gaming, photographs, videos, etc. Another use for this is taking photos from your digital camera or phone and archiving them. Depending on the camera/phone, you may need a port adapter. All in all, a superb peripheral with a tiny footprint but huge storage capacity at a modest price. Highly recommend.

    I wanted to get something for my son's gaming computer as he quickly used up a lot of the space on the drives. This was a great option for us. It plugged right in with no software to install and was recognized by the computer. The fact that it's an SSD means it's fast enough for him to access game files and not notice much of a lag. (Mainly single player games, no multiplayer). Definitely like the product and so far, think it will serve us well.

    So far, It seems to work brilliantly. The body seems like it will last for a long time and be able to hold so much in such a small package. It seems like it will be able to handle a very rugged trip, but also be a great way to store precious memories. It may need a power source connected to your device if you’re going to use an old phone splitter of some sort. I would highly recommend.
