    Being a hobbyst photographer, I needed something for easy backup and something I can connect to my phone/Tab/PC quickly as and when needed and this was perfect. The ruggedness is super useful when I have to take it around in my camera bag. Connects easily to all devices, comes with both USBC and USBA cables. 5 star all around. Worth every penny.

    Was getting really hot during file transfers compared to my T5, which was concerning.. Would recommend if you need something rugged - the water resistant feature is amazing. But if using for everyday use by a laptop, then the regular T7 is probably better.

    Not as user friendly as the salesperson described. It's truly NOT a plug and play. In order to use this product, you will need to have some tech skills. Not for the everyday user that's expecting the product to backup your files just by plugging it in.

    I like the color and rubberized design however it has a poor design around where the USB C cable attaches and doesn't make a firm connection. As a result I've had it detach even when being cautious when moving it knowing how poor the connection is.
