SAMSUNG T7 SHIELD - 4TB [born on MAR-2023]
If you need an external storage for your games, look no further. . Buy this (portable) external storage device now! . I'm using this for my STEAM AAA-games. . They all load super fast, just exactly like my internal M.2 in my ACER gaming laptop you see there in my pix :) . Hurry while 1TB is (under) a 100 bucks now. . I got mine when it was only for a whopping 239$ :) :) :)

I am absolutely thrilled with the SAMSUNG T7 Shield 4TB Portable SSD! As a DJ and content creator it has exceeded my expectations. This SSD offers a massive amount of storage, which was exactly what I was looking for—and it still provides room to spare even after transferring all my files from the cloud. Its compact and lightweight design is a huge plus, making it incredibly easy to carry around. I primarily use it with my Mac, and it works flawlessly. The portability and capacity of the T7 Shield make it ideal for anyone who deals with large files on the go, such as in video editing or graphic design. It handles large files smoothly, making my workflow much more efficient. I would definitely recommend this portable SSD to anyone who needs reliable, spacious, and transportable storage. It’s a top-notch choice for professionals and casual users alike!

Buy It And Don't Look Back!
The most durable and solid portable hard drive I have ever used, fast too. I have always used WD in the past but this one is 10X better! Even better that it is on sale for $219.99!
