Customers are delighted by the T7 Shield's overall performance and fast transfer speeds, making it a powerful tool in a compact size. The design and ample storage capacity also receive positive feedback, enhancing its portability. However, some customers have noted concerns regarding connectivity issues with the USB cable and the device's tendency to warm up during intensive use.

    This SSD is very portable. The design is very sleek, outer case is designed for rough use. It is the size of the palm.

    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 absolutely love this drive. I don’t know a lot about computers or transfer speeds, etc. But everything transfers over very fast and I’m able to work in Final Cut Pro with it. Recently, I have had some issues with saving a FCP file to the drive. Also, the USB-C cord slips out VERY easily. It’s not a make or break, but very annoying.

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    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 two of these and a T9 for an external scratch disk and backup. It is an astounding product. Finally, something that can take advantage of my Macbook Pro's M3 Max speeds and connectivity. Thank you Samsung.
