    This has been by far my fastest and most reliable external hard drive yet! I'm a photographer and it's so important to have something that's both when working with memories and Lightroom. Worth every penny!

    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 have reviewed many products lately mainly because I’ve been mostly underwhelmed by their quality or performance. But after buying this portable SSD, I feel everyone needs to know how wonderful and delightful they are to use! I am paranoid about data loss, my laptop was running out of space, so after much research, I decided to try this Samsung SSD to have a physical backup of my important data and photos/videos. I am throughly impressed! The SSD is solidly built, is small and more importantly it has insane read/write speeds! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who needs a dependable backup solution for their important data!

    Overall, the SSD was very easy to operate and work with. It worked as a backup for my computer perfectly. It was smaller than I expected, but it fits in the case I bought with all of its components easily. I also appreciate that it has texture--it really helps it be less slippery

    Rugged, High Reliability USB-C External SSD

    This is my second T7 2TB external HD. I use a blue one for TimeMachine backups of a MacBook Air and a black one for external storage of iTunes backups of two iPhones and two iPads done on the MacBook Air. I like the rugged rubber-covered drives. The drives a plenty fast for backups and provide air gapped storage. I have been using Samsung SSD drives since they first became available. I have at least 12 total and have ever had a problem.

    This is a good value. The transfer speed is really fast and it's really quite small. I've not tested out it's "rugged" features heavily but you can stick it in a backpack and not worry that it'll get damaged. Someone I know that uses MacOS said it was difficult to format, but I cannot confirm or deny that. I use a Windows machine and it works just fine right out the box.

    So this isna great product. It small, lightweight and has a large space. The price was very reasonable for the size and it processes information quickly. I demoed this guy in Chicago at a training session for my job and had to have one. My only critique is that BBY did not offer a warranty on it. We all know things happen and I like to ease of mind knowing I have a warranty to cover any unforseen issues. I pay by the yr so EVERYTHING I purchase at BBY is covered. I feel like the ball was dropped in this sense. This is the ONLY reason i didnt give 5 stars.

    Bought this last month, I've put some heavy use on this bad boy. I have already traveled with it a few times, while working on the go, and it is great. It fell once from about 3 ft, no issues whatsoever. I've had no issues when editing 4K footage from the SSD, speed is pretty good, no issues when connecting to my macbook right out of the box. Reliable and solid SSD.
