Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works flawlessly. Draws power from the usb. No need for external power supply. So easy. Pictures, music or transport files. Great choice.

I had previously owned the T5 and was very happy with my purchase. T7 is much faster but a bit larger than T5. I use it to back up my Mac

Rugged is the reason I have bought this. It is bulkier than "non-rugged" version. Cost is reasonable

Samsung - T7 Shield 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Rugged SSD IP65 Water Resistant. Good product

It actually looks very cute, I love the color the feel and the rugged feel. Very compact. Got it on Black Friday for a very good deal.

Awesome but the usb drives could be more sturdy on these. Fast read write speeds

Compac and eashbto connect. Easy to transfer files to. Greta way to store back uo files you dont need to access on a regular basis.

Works as advertised! Quite pleased with this purchase.

Good Value, with good performance at somewhat less speed than promised.

This portable SSD works well, it's fast and does not get all that hot. I use it to record video and it's doing that perfectly.

Speeds dont match what is quoted. I am using this on a M1 Macbook air with an older anker usb c dongle (2018-2019). I was transferring some pretty big files from an SD card to this SSD. 50gb-150gb worth of data eqch transfer and it was taking 15-20min or more. Not happy about this. Will be contacting samsung

This is a great product for the price. This is much more dependable than the platter style hard drives and last much longer.

Works great with my Dell laptop running Windows 10. Just plugged it into the USB-C port and off and running at super speed.

This is the smallest and fastest hart drive I ever had. Pretty cool that technology is allowing us to store a large amount of data something that would fit almost in my wallet. Samsung is a brand that I trust because I know they are at the forefront of technology. I have been using Samsung memory types and different styles for quite some time either it be an SD card, flash drive, microSD card and other small data forms however this is my first time using a large dataform with Samsung. I usually hate having an external hard drive because they’re usually big and it adds weight to my computer briefcase However this little guy is just perfect. With it being rugged I don’t feel as worried to keep it on me. The IP 65 Rating makes it water resistant and dust proof which is great for anybody typically with a hard drive as it will help against things like rain, spills, We’re a normal amount of dust that you would come into contact with like from a work bag purse office drawer or car etc. It does also say has heat resistant material but I am wondering if this is more because it’s such a small compact size and it helps protect its own he would you will produce when downloading or uploading from the device. The USB 3.2 technology is really nice when supported by the opposite device such as a laptop or pc. This will allow for high data read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s. If your main device does not support USB 3.2 It will not reach the speeds most likely however will reach the max be to which your device and USBs allow. So even if you do not have a current device that supports a USB 3.2, this will be preventative for the future as you are will already be equipped with a higher speed USB storage device or if you plug it in to somewhere else let’s say a friends computer. Yes this will work on a gaming console. This was tested on my PlayStation 4 which was able to upload A game without any flaws. If anything the floor was with the PS4 as it has a lower generation of USB ports. I’m sure the new Xbox and PS five probably have newer generations of USB ports which will be able to achieve higher rate read and write speeds however it is sufficient for the ps4.

Needed someone that was simple to use & had good reviews. A lot of content creators recommended this & I do too!

This is a good looking hard drive. I haven't had a chance to really use it

Very fast read and write, a lot smaller than I expected. Love the 2 TB backup room. And at $150 can't beat it.

The Samsung T7 Shield 1 TB External SSD Drive is a small, compact easy to carry external hard drive that provides much needed storage expansion in many small and light laptops as well as a great desktop solution for people needing additional file storage. The T7 shield connects via a USB C port and supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10GPS) and utilizes the PCIe NVMe interface. All of this provides a really fast read and write speed. I am using the T7 to stream videos and I have not had any issues with lag whatsoever. I have been extremely happy with the performance of this drive so far. The Samsung T7 is equipped with an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance and is drop resistant for falls up to 3 meters. The Samsung T7 Shield has preinstalled software that is compatible for Windows, IOS and Mac and Android. The software that is included allows you to use the security features of the drive. If you don't want to use these additional features, then the drive is basically plug and play, once your computer recognizes the drive is connected. The drive even has a soft touch feel that adds a premium feel to this small drive, which fits easily in your pocket or will take up very little room in a computer bag. I am very pleased with the T7 Shield and I find myself taking it everywhere with me when I am using my laptop for personal use and for business. I happily recommend this drive to anyone looking to increase storage capacity.

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.

1st purchase of an external drive. Good price, quick shipping, excellent quality and seems to work flawlessly. If I were to have any complaint it is the lack of any type of instructions with the unit, the Samsung tutorials lack dept on use. For me a friend gave me tips and steam (gaming platform) automatically ask about where to download the items I needed the drive for. If instructions were included everything would be 5 star.
