Keep in mind you cannot play Xbox series X/S optimised games on this you have to transfer but for a 100gb game this only takes a few minutes so not a big hassle.
Other reviews say this SSD gets rather hot and I agree, but I discovered that cooling fans for smartphones are actually a thing. The DollaTek Phone Cooling Fan fits perfectly over this SSD, does a great job and is also available on Amazon. Enjoy!
The only aspect left to assess is its longevity, which I can only comment on after approximately a year of usage. I have given it 4 stars due to its price.
I am very happy with the speed between the SSD and the phone (Galaxy S23 Ultra). The speed is around 400 MB/s. The phone has a USB 3.2 Gen1 port (5Gb/s) and with that in mind, I’m perfectly happy with the speed. To reach full speed, a minimum of 10 Gb/s is required.
The device feels like high quality. Also very nice to buy electronics that are NOT made in China.
This is compact and very tough I find very fast and very easy to set up .
Will buy another for my desktop
I save my editing and videos to the drive so I can plug into a number of machines and pick up where I left off (if set up right). Really useful and have found the compact size a great added bonus.
The build quality gives my confidence when throwing it in my backpack. And the 2T space works so well, it’s great to edit directly off in Final Cut Pro.
So it’s safe to say I love this price of kit.
Grab one you can’t go wrong
Die SSD beeindruckte mich zunchst durch ihre robuste Bauweise und das elegante, kompakte Design. Das robuste Gehuse vermittelt ein Gefhl von Hochwertigkeit und bietet einen zuverlssigen Schutz fr die wertvollen Daten.
Die bertragungsgeschwindigkeiten der T7 Shield sind schlichtweg beeindruckend. Dank der USB 3.2-Schnittstelle konnte ich Daten mit atemberaubender Geschwindigkeit bertragen. Egal ob groe Multimedia-Dateien oder umfangreiche Projekte – die SSD bewltigte alles mhelos..
Die Inbetriebnahme erwies sich als uerst benutzerfreundlich und funktional. Auch technisch weniger versierte Anwender werden hier keine Schwierigkeiten haben.
In Bezug auf die Temperaturkontrolle hat mich die SSD ebenfalls berzeugt. Auch bei intensiver Nutzung blieb die Temperatur im grnen Bereich, was zustzlich die Zuverlssigkeit und Langlebigkeit des Produkts unterstreicht.
Ich kann die Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield uneingeschrnkt empfehlen. Sie vereint beeindruckende Leistung, Sicherheit und hochwertige Verarbeitung auf einem hohen Niveau. Fr all jene, die auf der Suche nach einer zuverlssigen externen Speicherlsung sind, ist die T7 Shield die ideale Wahl.
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.
I liked the fact that it has additional security with the fingerprint reader/scanner. I feel my files are safer compared to my previous HDD. Oh..and it’s quite fast too. I wish it has an inbuilt keyring holder like the SanDisk Extreme does. However this is now my favourite external solid state drive. Delivery came on time too
This HD is the best I’ve ever bought. I wish they had them in 4TB or more. But the speed, simplicity and physical size just out-rules anything I’ve ever had before. I use it to run big Music Production and Video projects on a M1 Max MacBook Pro. Haven’t had a single lag yet. Where as doing the same work through my normal LaCie hard drive is a painstaking experience. Should have bought this years ago!
Depending on my mood, I either upload the video file in 1, directly to the usual social places, or edit it, and upload that – the point being these drives are yet to let me down at all, and together with OBS, have yet to skip a beat (my settings are 16-24mbps on 1440, and 32-40mbps on 4K – both 60fps). Literally not 1 dropped frame in many hundreds of hours of content.
I can highly recommend them for anyone else too lazy to open up their computer case, and upgrade their internal drives (that’s my excuse anyway, due to all the rigmarole that it entails, with reformatting and reinstalling stuff..)
What’s also great, I can use one of these to very quickly transfer large video files to take on visits and showcase my work, and again, I use 2 of these, together with 1 older model, side by side, to give 3 high speed drives on the end of USB cables.
It obviously goes without saying to ensure your computer’s USB connectors are up to date and not ancient, or these things will not work very well, like with anything.
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.
Brilliant SSD Drive. Fast and easy to copy to. I plug it into my Smart TV and format it so my TV can read the format then dump my mp4s on to watch and it works a trea
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.
