The Samsung T7 Solid State Drive exceeds expectations with its remarkable speed and reliability. Its sleek design and compact size make it a perfect companion for professionals on the go. The impressive data transfer rates ensure quick and efficient file management, while the robust security features provide peace of mind. In my experience, the Samsung T7 SSD stands out as a top-tier choice for anyone seeking high-performance storage solutions. Price was a little steep when I picked it up

Had this drive for a few months and it works like a charm. This is a truly nice, small, fast, portable drive. I use it to move files from work to home as an extra layer of back up in case cloud back up isn't available and downloading and uploading is inconvenient. I also use it for back up of my local computer. Impressed with the speed and how light it is. Presume it will be reliable thanks to the SSD. Compared to HDD of same capacity, the light weight is truly appreciated. Well worth the extra $ in my opinion.

I have been using this T7 for several years, carrying it back and forth from work with no problems ever. It's fast and compact. Thanks, Samsung.

The Samsung T7 Shield 2TB external hard drive combines speed, durability, and portability. Its rugged design is shock-resistant and IP65-rated for water and dust protection, making it ideal for outdoor and travel use. With transfer speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s via USB 3.2 Gen 2, it handles large files quickly and efficiently. The compact size ensures easy portability, and the included software supports password protection and encryption for added security. While slightly pricier than standard drives, the T7 Shield is an excellent choice for those needing robust performance on the go.

I've been using NVME drives for awhile, including a 1tb drive in an usb-type c enclosure, so I had big expectations of this drive's performance. I'm still impressed. It's exactly as fast as you'd expect, and it's in this great form factor. Build quality is that rubberish rubberized kind of material. I still wouldn't go tossing this around in the rain or anything, but it does feel nice and durable. I love that it's just straight c to c cabling on this instead of some proprietary nonsense, great job there samsung - keep it up. You get two cables in the box (a to c - and c to c), they're pretty short but will get the job done if you don't have anything else laying around. For best results you'll want that c to c cable in most situations, those ports are usually the fastest. So how fast? I've attached a photo of the full benchmark, but according to the manufacturer it's rated at 1050MB/s sequential up and 1000MB/s sequential down and my unit exceeds both of those numbers by a fair bit, so yeah it's great. No this is not internal NVME speed, which is roughly 3x as fast ... or more with gen 4 drives, but for most people this will be perfect. To put it in practical terms I run a media server on a laptop from time to time and I keep all of my media on a external drive - a traditional external drive. So it took about 48 minutes to transfer hundreds of gigabytes of data from that thing to my PC. Sending that from my PC to the T7 took about 12 minutes. It's fast. You can even play games from it, but I don't have need to. But this would be a great option if you're on a thin and light laptop or newer console. Storage is only 1.81TB as formatted, don't be thrown by that it's completely normal. Temps are good as well. It's sitting at 26C after being "on" for about 20 minutes and having run those synthetic benchmarks. Ambient temp is only about 10C though so keep that in mind. It's a fair sight cooler than my two internal NVME drives which are running at 33C and 43C in the same room. So make of that what you will. The drive does get noticeable warm to the touch, but that's just how it maintains it's temperature, it's letting that heat out. It's good. Yeah it's just a great drive. I don't know what else I can say about it. It's exactly what it's supposed to be. I wish I had a few more.

Had to get this when my 2TB External Hard Drive stopped working (after only 2 years with minimal use). This is faster, much more secure, smaller, and designed for transport. Considering getting a second one for business purposes.

I've had the Samsung T7 Shield 2TB external SSD for a couple of months now. It almost installed itself. It triples the storage capacity of my laptop, is blazingly fast for an external drive using the USB 3.2 interface and is easily portable when I'm on the go. I have nothing but good things to say about this drive.

I’m a video producer and also a content creator on YouTube so I am constantly uploading files to my SSD. Not only is the transfer speeds great, but its portable design fits easy in my gear back plus it’s very rugged. I’m rough on my gear so this SSD is reliable in my entire workflow.

Excellent SSD. Drop resistant, easy to use, and fast enough to game off of. Need I say more?

Samsung’s external SSD delivers exceptional speed and reliability, making it a top choice for data storage. With sleek design and impressive performance, it’s a reliable companion for those needing fast and portable storage solutions.

Super fast transfers, does get a little warm but that’s a given when moving a lot files to and from a hard drive. Works super great for my mobile gigs when using it to access my music from my laptop. Probably gonna buy another one to be a backup

The speed is outstanding. Compact and working as expected.

Totally recommend it. The cover adds an extra layer of protection in case we drop it but based on ssd itself, it is fast and portable. I put all my back up files here

This external hard drive is perfect for my needs. It’s compact, fast, high capacity and portable. I can stick in my pocket. In essence what’s not to like. The answer is nothing and I would highly recommend it to anyone with highly portable external storage needs.

Super fast, safe storage and very portable. Feels solid and performance is incredible.

Wanted to wait and use this for awhile before I reviewed it so I can give the best review I could. I have had nothing but horror stories with device powered mechanical and SS drives - but I have to say that this little baby is incredibly tough, fast, light and sleek. I’ve used it primarily with my ‘23 MacBook Air, but have also done some TM backups from some of my older Macs. I have also done some Final Cut edits directly against the drive without even a flutter. Really, this thing is awesome. They also go on sale often so keep that on your radar - but the price is already pretty good and it’s well worth it for the quality and speed.

Fantastic hard drive! Durable, transfer speeds are impressively fast and plenty of space. The size and durability make it a great hard drive if you're mobile a lot.

Works great! Compatible with all my devices with fast transfer speeds. Smaller than I thought. Fits in the palm of your hand. Very satisfied!

I bought this for my MBP (2021 M1 Pro 16" with the small 512GB of disk space) to use for personal files and projects that aren't related to all of my music work on the MBP. It's small, it's fast AF, and seems a little more rugged than my older T5 and T7 drives. I feel like I could take this with me when I travel local or abroad. My only complaint? I wish the included USB C-C and A-C cables were color matched to the blue one I bought (side note: The blue one was the only one on sale when I bought mine). I have it configured for a small Time Machine encrypted volume, then the rest is just 'scratch' storage for all kinds of personal files that I don't need backed up in Time Machine (like I do the OS drive with music projects and work).
