    This is the second T7 Shield 2TB I purchased, I have used these products every single day since and they are SOLID. I use them for for video editing, I travel with them, I transport them every single day and I have had no issues. Great build. Reliable, fast, and immediately works once plugged into a mac.

    Over time, I have bought 6-8 of these drives and they work absolutely seamlessly. The prices have been coming down a bit, which makes these a great choice, whether you are a pro who needs digital storage or just a family looking to secure all of your digital assets. Obviously I would not have bought so many of these drives if they weren't reliable, so I heartily recommend these Samsung drives!

    Just purchased yesterday. Attached to my 12 gen. I-7 computers' USB-C, and though I'm not clocking, it seems to run as fast as my internal SSD! Surprisingly small size makes it extremely portable. Hoping for 5 yr. life expectancy for archives. Good price/good value!

    I don't like to save personal photos, documents, or videos on my computer, so this external SSD is definitely worth getting. It freed up so much space on my computer. It's quick to transfer files over whether it be from my computer or my phones (iPhone and Samsung S22+ Ultra). I just wish that it was compatible with my Galaxy Tab Ultra; I haven't figured that out yet.

    Bought so I could play BG3 on my laptop - though it has only been a few weeks, it has worked well so far! Before buying, I worried using an external drive would cause some lag in-game; I'm excited to say everything is running smoothly and quickly! I've got over 40 hours of gaming on BG3 with no issues. My whole Steam library has been moved onto the Samsung external drive to free up space. I wish I had bought something like this earlier. My laptop only has one USB port, which I use for my wireless mouse...so it's a lifesaver that this external drive comes with both a Type C-to-C and Type C-to-A wire! It meant I could uses the C-to-C cable to attach the external drive, and still have my USB port free to use my mouse!

    This has been a revolutionary purchase for me. I needed a place to store large video files that were consuming valuable hard drive space and preventing me from editing or transferring new files onto my laptop. This will store almost 2 years of files, and I am very satisfied with how easy it was to format and set up. One word of caution, I initially formatted the drive in FAT and it was incapable of transferring files larger than 4GB, so if you are dealing with files that large, or larger, don't forget to format into XFAT from the beginning and save yourself the hassle of having to pull everything off the drive and reformat it. All in all it was a great drive and if I ever need another external, I will be picking us another T7 Shield.

    I added this to my computer purchase and have more than enough storage for all my photos. Music and videos would highly recommend purchasing this even as an add-on to a computer system that you have at home.

    This is my 7th External SSD for all the video files I have whenever I'm traveling to film. It's always been reliable and the rubber guard makes me feel safe when I'm always on the go with this item. Definitely worth the buy every single time.
