    So small and super fast! I use this to hold the imagery for making maps (extremely large files). There isn't any hesitation when I move the map and everything has to regenerate. Would definitely buy again!

    Only reason I don’t give 5 stars is the price for the space these days. The ssd is reliable and small enough for on the go.

    I use this drive to store all of my video games on and I am happy with both the speed of the drive and the capacity. My games load up quick and I haven't had any issue during game play. The 4TB size means I have plenty of storage space for my existing and future games.

    This is a reliable and high speed storage solution to keep up with my storge needs. The T7 Shield's lightning-fast data transfer speeds, boasting up to 1050MB/s, make file transfers a breeze.

    great SSD. I have a laptop with 500gbs of storage on it so I'm pretty limited with what I can and cannot download, often jockeying between several different applications at any one time. This SSD solved my problem and also just works super well. It has a built in software that acts as a protective shield to stop any ne'er-do-wells from breaking in, in case I lose track of it. The price is a bit steep and the 'water resistant' feature feels like a cheap tack-on to raise the price (lets be real why would this thing ever be near water. its like giving a hotdog lead-lined wrappers or putting a thermal coating on a pencil) but I got it during a sale so it balances out.

    Great speed and excellent performance. Solid on the road as a backup for anything that connects to USB C, l cannot look back, and also use on on Blackmagic 6k Pro for recording. That requires a better cable to manage power issues but solid drive all round.

    another great samsung drive with added drop and environmental protection. the difference in the weight and size of the shield against the touch or regular T7 is noticeable, but not so much in either regard to offset the benefits of the protection. fast, reliable, and safer than ever. better yet, its cheaper than what i paid for my T5.

    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 got this to do Time Machine backups for a MacBook Air M2. It is compact, fast, and has rubber classing to protect it. I don't notice any overheating. It comes with both USB C to USB C and USB 3.0 to USB C cables. It has to be first formatted so it can do Time Machine backups.
