Customer Ratings & Reviews

This has so much storage in such a small package. Works great.

The Samsung T7 Shield 4Tb external SSDs is excellent for quick media transfers and for robust, portable video editing.

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.

I only use it in my vehicle to capture video. It has held up well with being next to keys and other items in a central storage area, but the cable should be redesigned in my opinion, because the bend inside the storage area has caused it to expose the metal braid around the connector over the last two years. The metal was exposed before the two-year mark and the storage unit is positioned and held in place with a band, but the connector goes out at a 45-degree angle up and then the cable needs to come back down and wrap around the storage area to make it back to the top of the unit. It is robust and deals with a lot of bouncing even on trail rides and such, so I would buy it again.

I realized my work computer was working too hard to handle all my files. I also wanted a backup for my cloud backup (I'm pretty OCD about my documents), so I took a chance and picked up this Samsung. I have come to really appreciate the brand after buying a 1TB and a 2TB external USB drive as well as a 2 in 1 laptop. To find a 4TB drive that is almost as thin as the 1 and 2 TB drives is impressive to me (I also on a 1TB drive that's I don't know how many years old now and it's as big as an old school dictionary and about as heavy). It's fast and is just what I was looking for.

Love these drives very reliable and fast very often one of my go to’s for production needs

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

The Samsung T7 Shield 4TBExternal USB is amazing! Exceedingly fast, dependable, and compact. I'm using it for my MacBook Pro Time Machine Daily Backup.

Remarkably good purchase open the door to my eyes as Samsung being an exceptional electronics company, rather than just boom boxes, TVS and other static products It works efficiently although it's an older generation and it lives up to its speed standards and quality. I've mentioned Samsung products before and different reviews across the Internet for companies And I've associated them with the quality of Sony at its peak which is truly a boast. Reason I did not give this item 5 rating is that Samsung had faster chips available I've held the progress down a little bit possibly to meet American standards, Something Sony never did. Plus, it was very costly at the time, And was missing the exceptional Samsung program support at the later versions would have proving Samsung is more than just hardware but also software company as well, and maybe growing in that arena.

So far it's been pretty good no problems with it I'm able to store all my games that I play and pretty simple to connect to my computer.

I'm still amazed that so much data can be recorded in such a small device. The solid state 'disk' made a backup of my entire file structure in about 20 minutes, and restored it to another machine equally fast. On my Mac, I will now use it for Time Machine continuous backup in the background. Purchased for a very good price because there is a newer faster model (which speed I don't really need - yet). Very helpful that it comes with two cables for different computer connections, and that it doesn't need a separate power supply.

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.

After having several My Passport drives fail me (I only used them after the first failure since I had them on hand), I switched to the T7s. These handy little drives have proven themselves over and over! Very happy with them and their performance. I use these drives for photographs, and they log lots of miles, in and out of the vehicle and working in dusty/dirty environments. Very pleased with the Samsung T7 Shields. In fact this newest purchase was to set up and be ready to rock and roll for the new year. Thank you Samsung!

The Samsung T series of external SSD hard drives are well known for its speed and build quality. The kicker this time around is the rugged rubberized build. With the T5 and T3 I've banged them up and scratched it quite a bit, but with this one you can't go wrong and have no worries of banging it around. For the price that these are coming at now, you owe it to youself to own multiple of these. It's blazing fast for what it is, and very compatible with many platforms. i've found no issues using it between my Mac and PC, and already own two of these.

Same T7 Speed + Rugged, works great. I use this for my on the go storage needs. Plus helps i dont need to take up more space in my bag with a case.

Works great and couldn’t be happier. HD is light and portable and fast.

Very satisfied. Small, fits in your pocket easily and fast. SSD an absolute must for data security, water and shock resistant.

This device is compact, light, and satisfactorily gets the job done. I am one who like to wait a while to review a product unless it a product unless it sucks out of the box. This was recommended by a geek quad tech. Great recommendation

I have so many raw/jpg photos and this is perfect! Processing time is quick and I love the small size. Will be buying another to store images for a family member and give it to them as a present.

Best bang fo buck for the speed and size I have 4 of these and no issues ever
