    For many years, I had been using HDD type hard drives. I wanted a drive that was not as fragile and could also data transfer quicker as I was working with 4K video. This one had the best reviews at the time and right of out the box I absolutely love it and don't see my self ever going back to an HDD type. I had one of those hindsight is twenty twenty moments that I should have switched a long time ago. The design is slim as expected and the data transfer far out paces the traditional disc style.

    Very rugged and reliable SS (solid state) 2 Terabyte external drive. Comes with 2 USB cables for compatibility with any PC or Apple. USB connection on the Samsung SS Drive is a C type connector, which can be inserted in either of the two orientations (unlike USB-A). On Wikipedia you can see that turning a C connector 180 degrees, that the same pins connect to the drive or PC either way. Really genius. So this drive comes with a male USB-C on one side and a male USB-C on the other for most all Apple laptops and desktops. It also comes with a second cable which is USB-C for the SS drive side and a male USB-A or type A connector for mostly Windows PCs, like my Dell XPS, which has mostly type A female receptacles on front. Because type A only works in one orientation there is a USB symbol on only one side of the connector which usually faced up or on verticale slots the USB mark on the connector head goes to the right. A USB-C type has no USB symbol on it, indicating either orientation is correct. This drive RUNS OFF OF POWER FROM THE USB CABLE SO THERE IS NO OTHER POWER CABLES FOR THE SS DRIVE, Either of the USB cables described has more than enough power to run the drive extremely fast.

    I bought the Samsung T7 Shield 1TB SSD online from Best Buy and it’s been great so far. The transfer speeds are super fast, perfect for backing up large files and working on the go. I really like the rugged design—it feels solid and the IP65 water/dust resistance gives me peace of mind. Setup was quick and easy, and it works perfectly with both my Mac. Definitely a solid investment if you need portable, reliable storage.

    I recently purchased the Samsung T7 Shield 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Rugged SSD IP65 Water Resistant for use as a storage device for my Tesla dashcam. While I ultimately returned the device because it was not suitable for this specific purpose, I did find it to be an excellent product overall. The T7 Shield is very rugged and durable, with an IP65 water-resistant rating that makes it ideal for use in outdoor environments or other harsh conditions. The 2TB storage capacity is also impressive, providing ample space for storing large files such as high-quality video recordings. Although I did not end up using the T7 Shield for very long, due to its incompatibility with my Tesla dashcam, I found it to be very easy to set up and use. The transfer speeds were very fast, allowing me to quickly move files between my devices and the external SSD. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Samsung T7 Shield 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Rugged SSD IP65 Water Resistant to anyone in need of a durable and high-capacity storage device. While it didn't work for my specific needs, it worked great for the little time I used it and I have no doubts about its overall quality and performance.

    The Samsung T7 Shield 2TB External USB is a great addition to my home network. It's very light, small, and I keep it next to my router, where i have it attached to my router's USB port. I can access the T7 through my home computer, my Nvidia Shield TV or any other device you want connected to your network. I keep movies, photos and other files needed to share with within in network. Works well for my needs.

    I don't care about the water resistant case but it's a nice drive overall. It's a good size, not too big to be awkward and not so small that it's easy to lose. It really DOES hit read speeds of 1050MB/sec with the right USB port.
