    another great samsung drive with added drop and environmental protection. the difference in the weight and size of the shield against the touch or regular T7 is noticeable, but not so much in either regard to offset the benefits of the protection. fast, reliable, and safer than ever. better yet, its cheaper than what i paid for my T5.

    I had gotten one of these external SSDs a year ago and found myself in need of a second one. Great in durability and and perfect storage size too for not only data (2 Terabytes worth), but also for travel storage too!

    This drive came with cables that allow connections to either USB-A or USB-C ports on the host machine. The drive is lightweight and very fast. I use this drive to backup my NAS device. It is small enough to store in a fire safe for off-line storage.

    Great little hard drive with the simplicity, ease of use, and performance of a USB-C external SSD hard drive. A bonus with this item is the rubbery case for some family-proofing. This drive has worked flawlessly for storing and editing videos on both Mac and PC.

    I normally do video editing and I like to keep my work in an external HD. I have heard of this “little guy” and how fast & reliable it is so I bought one to test out and I have to say that I’m quite impressed.

    Over time, I have bought 6-8 of these drives and they work absolutely seamlessly. The prices have been coming down a bit, which makes these a great choice, whether you are a pro who needs digital storage or just a family looking to secure all of your digital assets. Obviously I would not have bought so many of these drives if they weren't reliable, so I heartily recommend these Samsung drives!

    This drive is very light and compact; easy to carry, but very high functionality in terms of security. I will definitely recommend it especially to those who have large electronic files and want to securely store it. Thank you

    Once you use SSD, you'll wonder what you've been doing with your life. Works as it should, easy plug n play. Good quality cord. Doesn't look as aesthetic as the metal non-rugged version, of which I have for my Xbox One X storage, but the rubber encasing obviously protects it better.

    Samsung - T7 Shield 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSD

    This is the 2nd one of these I’ve purchased. The first was a 500 GB. This one is a 2 TB. This first cost approx. $120. The 2 TB was on sale. It was $199.99 on sale for $139.99. Right now, Best Buy has it for $129.99. Even better. Lots of "bang for the buck." The read/write specs were/are the same; however, this latest version is tougher. The all new rugged PSSD T7 Shield is built to endure with the space to create thanks to an IP65 rating for Dust and Water resistance. The high-tech rubber exterior with Dynamic Thermal Guard controls heat to maintain steady performance. Has both a USB C and a USB C to USB A cable. Samsung is a recognized leader in SSD products…and you see the quality in this product. I bought the lesser version…and recently bought the superior one…AGAIN. Enough said. Buy this and you won’t be disappointed.

    This is a hidden jewel. It’s very petite, fits in the palm of your hand. It’s light weight and easy to format for first use. It has set up for both windows and Mac. Ample space to back up your computer, iPad and phone all on one device.

    This external storage is great! I will say that is has fast transfer speeds and is light weight to carey around. The external casing keeps the drive very safe from falls and scratches. I will be purchasing a second drive soon.

    Lightweight with rugged construction - I'd feel comfortable throwing this in my laptop bag. The fast transfer speeds save tons of time and headache. I use this for backups of large creative projects, and the peace of mind makes this worth the extra cost.
