    Love its compact size and non-slip texture. More than enough room for all my photos and videos from my online business. Water resistant feature is a bonus.

    Very nice drive. Easy to setup and use with password protection. Works well with Windows 11. One drawback and it may be a lack of understanding on my part but I haven't been able to use 2 of these drives at the same time.

    Bought this last minute before leaving town to use as a media drive for remote video editing. Have been using it for the past month or so and it has been great. Transferring media on and off is really fast for a non raided drive with no crashes or corrupted media or slowing down my system when editing. Of course, the first time I used it I ran out of room and wish I got the 4TB version...

    Fast and very realiable. Gaming with this products makes a world of difference when playing straight from it or just a matter of extra storage for any next gen titles for fast transferring.

    Just purchased yesterday. Attached to my 12 gen. I-7 computers' USB-C, and though I'm not clocking, it seems to run as fast as my internal SSD! Surprisingly small size makes it extremely portable. Hoping for 5 yr. life expectancy for archives. Good price/good value!

    I love the compact size of it. I’ve used it for several years and it’s still in very good shape. My favorite feature is that it has an app installed so you can password protect your files

    So small and super fast! I use this to hold the imagery for making maps (extremely large files). There isn't any hesitation when I move the map and everything has to regenerate. Would definitely buy again!

    This has been a revolutionary purchase for me. I needed a place to store large video files that were consuming valuable hard drive space and preventing me from editing or transferring new files onto my laptop. This will store almost 2 years of files, and I am very satisfied with how easy it was to format and set up. One word of caution, I initially formatted the drive in FAT and it was incapable of transferring files larger than 4GB, so if you are dealing with files that large, or larger, don't forget to format into XFAT from the beginning and save yourself the hassle of having to pull everything off the drive and reformat it. All in all it was a great drive and if I ever need another external, I will be picking us another T7 Shield.

    Great pricing on this hard drive… was going with the 1tb but the sale price on the 2tb was too good to pass up! This drive works great for video recording and for archiving!

    Great speed and excellent performance. Solid on the road as a backup for anything that connects to USB C, l cannot look back, and also use on on Blackmagic 6k Pro for recording. That requires a better cable to manage power issues but solid drive all round.

    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!
