Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall, I really like it. It is easy to setup & easy to use. And it is pretty fast. 1 thing that would make it even better would be if it came with a way to Synch so that Additions or Modifications to the original source (my PC) would be automatically ID'd and applied the External Drive. Instead of my having to Copy ALL or ask myself, "Now, What did I actually do today? Did I create or edit any Word docs today, etc.?

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.

Good speed and I like this better than T7. It looks more durable than T7.

This is a great SSD very download and upload speed. I use this as a second hard drive for my macbook air and run several programs from it. The storage capacity is great for the compact size.

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!

Great portable SSD. Very fast and efficient. No moving parts. Rugged rubber casing. I use it mainly for PS4 and PS5 game files.

This is a reliable and high speed storage solution to keep up with my storge needs. The T7 Shield's lightning-fast data transfer speeds, boasting up to 1050MB/s, make file transfers a breeze.

Awesome hard drive. My first SSD and love the compact size and speed

Bought so I could play BG3 on my laptop - though it has only been a few weeks, it has worked well so far! Before buying, I worried using an external drive would cause some lag in-game; I'm excited to say everything is running smoothly and quickly! I've got over 40 hours of gaming on BG3 with no issues. My whole Steam library has been moved onto the Samsung external drive to free up space. I wish I had bought something like this earlier. My laptop only has one USB port, which I use for my wireless mouse...so it's a lifesaver that this external drive comes with both a Type C-to-C and Type C-to-A wire! It meant I could uses the C-to-C cable to attach the external drive, and still have my USB port free to use my mouse!

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.

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!

Fast, sturdy, and capacious. Great value for money!

Loved it so much I ordered another one. I am using them to back up my music data and they are fast. No problems at all

My wife plugged this into her 8 year old computer to back up her pictures. After a few minutes she says "I don't think it is working. I tried coping my file over and it looked like it started. But now it is not showing any progress." That's because it had copied all the data over 10X faster than expected!!!! A bit pricey but better than a spinning disk any day.

Slim, fast transfer speeds, and great color. Love that drive included a C to C and USB to C cables. Prefect for someone like me who can easily switch between my older laptop to my newer desktop/phone to easily store photos and documents. Wish I would have made this purchase sooner.

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.

I use this drive to store all of my video games on and I am happy with both the speed of the drive and the capacity. My games load up quick and I haven't had any issue during game play. The 4TB size means I have plenty of storage space for my existing and future games.

A durable, high‑speed portable drive built for reliability. With USB 3.2 Gen 2 support, it delivers transfer speeds up to 1,050MB/s read and 1,000MB/s write, making it ideal for large files, gaming libraries, or creative workflows. The rugged design is IP65 water and dust resistant, with a shock‑resistant rubberized shell for extra protection.

This was ready to use and the size of this packs a punch! I'm going to purchase another for my daughter.

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.
