    The drive is well-protected and is every bit as fast as a standard T7. It's fast and reliable, and I'd recommend this to anyone looking for that combination in a portable SSD. I regularly see transfers of large files hitting the higher end of the rated transfer speed - around 700-800 MB/S. Typical Samsung quality.

    This was a great buy, it’s safe, fast and reliable ! I’m a photographer so this was exactly what I needed. My old back up external drive stopped working. Never buy from Amazon or any other 3rd party. Best Buy Rocks

    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!

    This product is awesome. I was able to put thousands of photos and videos off of my phone to save space in less than two minutes. Now i can carry them anywhere to view if i need to. It's great.

    This has been the best portable drive I have purchased. It is small and compact, with plenty of space. It has a very quick transfer rate, especially when transferring from other SSDs.

    Went in for a couple of SSD drives and bought this because it was a good price compared to another drive I also purchased. Very happy with it so far. Fast transfer speeds and mounts fast. Small size and easy to transport. So far so good and very happy with it.

    A Good Replacement Drive

    I got this drive to replace my WD external game drive and i must say, the T7 doses not disappoint. If you plug it into a USB 3.0 port, you will get fast response times and stalker game play. This is the 2nd T7 I have purchased and it delivers in performance and reliability. It is worth the price.

    I am using the Samsung T7 Shield 4TB for my Time Machine Backup. It works perfectly. It is large enough that it should provide adequate space for the foreseeable future. Is very quick when I review my backups. Can't ask for more.

    This is my 7th External SSD for all the video files I have whenever I'm traveling to film. It's always been reliable and the rubber guard makes me feel safe when I'm always on the go with this item. Definitely worth the buy every single time.
