Customer Ratings & Reviews

It works great for me. I am not one that gets real technical about measuring speeds. All I know is it works faster than other drives I have. On sale it was a great price for a 2TB, others were much higher in price. Love the outer shell for durability in the event I need to take it with me and accidentally drop it.

Very compact and easy to use. Since it’s solid state it’s very fast.

Very fast. Life savior. I thought I had lost it all with the coffee spill but we were able to remove the HD and save files to this Samsung external drive without saving my files on someone else’s computer. I back up my new computer more often now. It is light weight. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I am currently using this as a backup for my I-Mac. The blue color matches the blue color of the Mac. Small and super durable. No problems at all, Set it and forget it. The drive is a perfect match for Apple's Time Machine backup.

Very fast transfer of data and very light and convenient to carry for travel.

Great portable SSD for quick, on-the-go storage or for data backups.

Great product. Does what I need it to do in a convenient size.

Works great, easy to use, and the shell is a nice touch.

Great backup SSD drive. Functions as described. Fairly quick relative to competitora.

Needed to get some extra storage for my XBOX Series X and this fit the bill. My house is fairly dusty so I wanted something that could handle that environment. It's small so it's easy to place out of sight. Performance: Transferring games from the internal storage and from the 1TB expansion card to this drive I was getting between 214.26 and 226.41Gbps (Gigabits) which equates to 26.8 - 28.3 GBps (Gigabytes) with the games ranging between 500MB to 40GB. So far pretty solid drive. Samsung always makes really good products, and this tiny drive is no exception

This is my go-to external photo storage solution for macOS. It’s fast enough to quickly access my library and big enough to give me room to grow. The rugged design is a nice bonus, making it feel durable without being too bulky. If you need a reliable and speedy SSD for photos, projects, or backups, this one’s a solid pick.

Love how small these are. Having 2 TB in such a small size is great for bringing along with a laptop. Plus, being solid state and USB C, makes for fast transfers.

Good external HD. Small and well protected by the case. Fast retrieval and easy to use. Recommend this SSD Drive.

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.

This thing is amazing, It handles the need for extra storage great. Speeds are great with no lag. Recommend for everyone.

I recently picked up the Samsung T7 Shield 1TB External SSD in blue, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The performance is excellent — blazing-fast read/write speeds thanks to USB 3.2 Gen 2 make file transfers super quick and efficient. I use it for both work and personal files, and it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it without a hitch. What really sets this drive apart is its rugged design. The rubberized exterior not only looks sleek in the blue color but also provides extra protection against drops and bumps. Plus, with its IP65 water and dust resistance, I feel confident taking it on the go, even in less-than-ideal conditions. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry, making it perfect for travel or daily use. Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable, fast, and durable external SSD, the T7 Shield is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

My partner works in content creation for small businesses and has been working off HDD’s forever. I personally have been using internal and external SSD’s for a while and finally got her on the SSD wave. She’s extremely happy about the amount of storage and speed she is able to utilize. She is able to work Lightroom and Davinci projects directly from the drive with no hiccups. The T7 shield also provides her extra security from drops, which she was most worried about. Chose this over the Sandisk after their recent controversy with the Extreme Pro SSD issues. We’re extremely satisfied with the purchase.

Backs up all the data I need to. It is easy to use and comes with two different transfer cords One for your computer and one for phone transfers. It can be stored for years to come to preserve and transfer data.

It's impossible for me NOT to love Samsung SDD portable drives. This one is the 7th one I own and while it was only a 1 TB drive this time, thanks to a birthday gift card,where the others were 2TB, the rugged design is only an issue if someone is rough on their equipment. I am not but this one still performs as the others do with reliable read speed, capacity and processing speed and I'm already looking to get the 8th sometime soon OR sell all these, but a high capacity drive and move everything to one drive. But until that time comes, this item covers my needs very well at a price I simply can never pass up.

The Samsung T7 Shield is a portable SSD drive that is ready to go with you whether you're hiking the trails or roaming the cubicles. The IP65 rated drive has a thick rubber jacket that can handle drops, dust and a splash or two. I like it because I don't have to worry about it getting banged up in my backpack. Samsung rates this drive at 1000 Mbps write and 1050 Mbps and I achieved this using CrystalDiskMark. Using the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test I got approximately 850 reads and writes. For comparison - my laptop SSD gets about 3500 Mbps for both reads and writes. The T7 ships with two cables, USB-C to USB-C and USB-A to USB-C. I did find that a USB-C cable I use with another drive didn’t work with the Samsung, I needed to use the enclosed cable. The drive worked as expected on my Windows PC, iMac as well as my iPad Pro. The T7 includes software that lets you password encrypt the drive to protect your files if it gets misplaced. I like the speed, versatility and three-year warranty of the Samsung T7 Shield. Yes, I would recommend this drive to a friend.
