These are small and easily carried round the house to plug in to my laptop regularly. Small enough to be put in a pocket. Very convenient to use and reliable.
This is the best external hard drive I’ve ever used. Incredible read and write speeds, good case protection and amazingly lightweight. A 4TB SSD which runs from USB C power has been a game-changer for me. Definitely worth it and 200 on Black Friday made it even better.
This does.
Used as an external backup for an Apple computer: The first time it was plugged in “the system” saw it, the automatic on-screen instructions were crystal clear and easy to follow, and both the disk and computer “knew” this was to be used for backups.
Now it is on my desk, taking up no space, always plugged in, automatically taking backups.
The built in starting option to require a password to use the disk again made life so easy setting this up.
If I do need another of these, I will definitely be buying this again.
Very small and portable, plenty of storage, and my machine can read and write to it very rapidly with no frustrating delays. I can watch video files straight from this hard drive without any lagging. Exactly what I wanted. I might buy two.
I used this to breath life into an older iMac. I installed the Mac OS on this drive, and it’s transformed the Mac from an almost unusable machine to something that is a pleasure to use.
The fact that it came with both USB-A and USB-C was superb too.
I have purchased multiple Shield T7 drives and they’ve been rock solid. Used primarily as part of my mobile recording rig, so getting moved around and hostels about constantly and never had any issues. Recommended.
Great little external drive, I wanted some more storage for a Mac mini and this is compact, nicely made and really quite quick. I had speed issues using and older drive caddy with a sata ssd in it and swapping to this elimated all those problems
I bought this as a backup device for my Mac it works really well is compact and should last a long time. It made my time machine backup appear much quicker and at under 100 it’s a win win.
Great speed, works with other C type cables if you are me and forget where you placed the original ones (make sure it’s at least one of the thicker kind of cables) and the original cables do have ridiculous transfer speed. It does get a bit warm when I send 50GB at once and it handles it very steadily and fast, so hey, it is a mini portable device, not a space rocket :)) Highly recommended!
I needed a decent hard drive to store my music catalogue for DJ-ing. This offering from Samsung looked to be my best option. It’s a nice compact size, has a rubberised outer & hopefully will be durable & reliable. Only time will tell but so far, I’m impressed. Its also a high speed drive, so transferring files is pretty quick.
It’s fast, like working on your local hard drive. So much better than the normal disc HDs. It connects and disconnects easily too, you don’t have to wait long like the others. And it’s small!! Very happy with i
I easily installed the software for password and 256 bit encryption.
I formatted for NTFS, as I am using as an external backup for a Win11 PC.
Write speed is a solid 500MBs for large files and about half that for small files. Not bad for encrypted files.
The drive got warm but not enough to cause any kind of concern.
Nice drive at a reasonable cost, as I only need a 1TB drive.
Bought to run a Hackintosh off of my current PC whilst thinking of switching to a Mac Mini. Perfect for this use – fast transfer speeds, convenient size, plug and play, great value for money. Highly recommended!
Drive is much smaller than I expected, therefore, it is highly portable and its large capacity and fast speed means that I can backup files with ease. I need to keep my files in sync on two laptops – this drive allows me to manage this with ease.
The performance of this hard drive has been excellent so far. The read and write speeds are impressive, making data transfers fast and efficient. I have used it for gaming and media editing, and it handles large files without any noticeable slowdowns.
I also ordered another one to use it as external drive for final cut, really impressed with i
Bought for Macbook Time Machine backups – quick & easy to setup, fast write speeds, very compact. Early days but expect continued performance from a reputable brand
Always buy these when they are on offer, fast, small – perfect for video editing
This is the second one i’ve bought. Secure safe and very efficient . You can fit it in a jacket pocket and take it anywhere with you. Can attach it to your phone and any other device. Would definitely recommend i
It takes about 25 minutes to tranfser 600GB data into this SSD from another NVMe drive. It may be due to my system not being able to provide sufficient power to it if HP notifications are correct. Benchmark tests also show 80% lower values than I was made to believe from the product description, so I’m not sure if I’d have been better off getting a Crucial X8 instead.. It was delivered in good packaging and speedy service, and the build quality is superb.
I bought this as a backup storage device for my desktop. I wanted something small and sturdy that could be transported. The T7 is tiny, very fast, comes with two USB cables, so I can use the faster type C connection on my PC. Its simple to use. Just plug it in and get started. Absolutely 5 stars, assuming it doesn’t break down!
The speed of the T7 Portable SSD is nothing short of amazing. Transferring files is a breeze, thanks to its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. Whether it’s large files or small documents, everything transfers at lightning-fast speeds. I no longer have to wait around for my data to transfer, which has significantly improved my productivity.
The compact design of the T7 is a real game-changer. It’s so small and lightweight that I can easily slip it into my pocket or bag without any hassle. It’s the perfect companion for people on the go, allowing me to carry all my important files wherever I need to be. Plus, the sleek and durable exterior gives me confidence that my data is well-protected.
Setting up the T7 was a breeze. It seamlessly connects to my Windows device, and I didn’t encounter any compatibility issues. The included software is intuitive and straightforward, providing useful features like password protection and firmware updates. The peace of mind knowing my data is secure is invaluable.
The 500 GB capacity of this SSD is more than enough for my needs. It accommodates all my files, from photos and videos to important documents and work projects. If I ever need more storage, I know that the T7 comes in higher capacities as well.
In conclusion, the Samsung T7 Portable SSD is an incredible storage solution. Its lightning-fast speed, compact design, and reliable performance make it a must-have for anyone in need of portable storage. I highly recommend the Samsung T7 Portable SSD to anyone looking for a high-quality and dependable storage device.
Lightning fast compared to my LaCie ssd, write speed is fast too. 128 go files transferred very quickly.
Yes it can get a little warm but I found resting a bottle of water on it soon cooled it back down.
I loved it so much I’ve just bought a second one.
Very compact design and no heating. Really liked it. I have installed Mac os catalina in my late 2013 iMac and the speed has really enhanced I can feel. My computer is like new
Bought this to speed up a 2013 iMac running Catalina. Amazing performance now using it as my boot disc. Can’t believe the difference. Easily four or five times faster. If your Mac is running on the old hard drive, change it to this SSD without hesitation.
For normal operation like storing files/games it is fine but be careful of overheating if pushed too far.
The Samsung T7 SSD is a great choice for anyone who needs a reliable and portable way to store their data. It’s small and lightweight, so it’s easy to take with you wherever you go, and it’s fast enough to transfer large files quickly. I would definitely recommend the Samsung T7 SSD to anyone who is looking for a great way to back up their data.
Here are some of the pros and cons of the Samsung T7 SSD:
Pros:
Fast transfer speeds
Durable
Small and lightweight
Password-protected
Available in a variety of colors
Cons:
Can be expensive
Not water-resistant
Not shockproof
Overall, I am very happy with the Samsung T7 SSD. It is a great way to back up my data and it has performed flawlessly
It’s lightning fast (assuming you have a good computer with the latest usb connections. )
The quality of the cables included seems good and there is nothing unusual or “bespoke” about the connections so you can always replace the cables. As always I would be carful when plugging in and out any cables because the “plug” on the drive will not last forever. But if you look after it and take care when plugging in and out it will last pretty well, I hope ?.
Highly recommended.
