    I love it. Its a must buy. Especially if you have tons of music, photos and doing films. It will handle it no problem. I have even put together films while keeping the video file on the SSD and not even have to out itnin my macbook pro it Ipad pro. Its jist cool! Must buy.

    I was on the fence for a while about purchasing it, but luckily Best Buy had a great sale running and I’m so glad I finally bought it!  It has come in so handy with how portable it is and the speed is great on it. I’m able to transfer tens and hundreds of gigs with ease! Thanks for a great product!

    This SSD is a beast. Everything I throw at it, it just keeps going. I can edit video footage straight from the hard drive and it doesn't even buffer (using with Macbook Pro M3).

    I dropped my previous external hard drive and needed to replace it. I found this one and it has been good so far. damage resistant from 3 meters, water resistant (haven't tested that feature) and its light, compact and a nice color.

    This SSD has not failed me yet with competitive speeds of 1050 MB/S and shielded protection makes it a great resource for transferring and storing video footage without having to worry about overheating and transfer at great speed

    The Samsung T7 Shield 2TB SSD is an ideal portable storage solution, offering high-speed transfers up to 1,050 MB/s with USB 3.2 Gen 2. Built to withstand harsh conditions, its IP65 rating ensures water and dust resistance, while a rugged rubberized exterior protects against drops up to three meters. With 2TB storage, it’s perfect for storing large files like 4K videos and photo libraries, and it works seamlessly across Windows, Mac, and Android devices. While it’s pricier than some SSDs, its durability, speed, and capacity make it a great investment for professionals on the go.

    I had to transfer from my old failing external hard drive and it was very easy to transfer 100’s of pictures, personal manuscripts and over 200 commercial movies, many over 2 hours long and it only took about, 2.5 - 3 hours. They all transferred glitch free.

    Samsung T7 Shield 4TB SSD Review

    I have 3 of them and they've been good to me, minus sometimes not wanting to properly eject on my Macbook. I'm saddened by the cost of the drives now. In late 2024, I purchased one for about $270, and now in early 2026 the same exact one costs about $800??? I'm not sure if it's the AI data centers that are driving up the cost, corporate greed, tariffs that are affecting the cost, or what, but it pains me as a small business owner. I hope the costs go down soon...

    Bought this external SSD for my PS5 and it connects very well and plays games flawlessly. The games can even be downloaded onto the device and played directly from it while connected to the console with zero lag. Amazing little device, and is built to withstand drops and dust.

    This drive is so small and has super fast data transfer. It's sturdy enough to carry in a pocket, and is so much smaller than a cell phone. It's super light weight too.

    I purchased this because I had a previous device that I stored all my pictures in, and it wasn't secure with saving my pictures if it was bumped or anything. I lost all my pictures on my previous storage unit, and it would have cost me a couple thousand dollars to have them check to see if they could recover any of them. I really wanted to do it, but it probably wouldn't be worth it. The gentleman at Best Buy informed me that I would be better off just purchasing one of these and let your pictures that were on my old device go.

    This drive was very easy to use. Plug n Play. The soft to touch covering is very appealing. Not much else to say other than a huge amount of space in a small package. Im hoping the apparent quality is proven over time. I reccomend this drive.

    I bought this as a portable drive to use for school work and it has been a workhorse for me for going on three years now. I am especially glad I opted for this version as it has withstood a few drops from me over time with no loss of data or function.

    I have an older computer with a lot of files that took up space and caused it to slow down. I took the drive out of the box and connected it to the pc and transferred all of my files. Awesome job and still has a lot of space.
