Samsung T7 Shield Portable External Solid State Drive USB 3.2 1TB, IP65 Water Resistant, Compatible with PC/Mac/Android/Gaming Consoles (MUPE1T0K/AM), Beige

So far so good. Using with MacBook Air M4 and left it exfat and no issues. Was able to take entire music and photo collection and move from very old hdd to new Samsung SSD. Liked it so ouch due to size, ruggedness and speed is plenty fast for what I use it for. Like it so much I bought another to have for day to day and this one as a backup with my entire drive saved off on it. It was plug and play easy to use, power source by a c cable and no discernible noise. Some heat after prolonged usage but nothing bad. So far zero data loss and highly recommended.

Great SSD. I got the 2TB version and honestly couldn’t be happier. The price is solid, the brand is reliable, not some random no-name drive. The rubberized casing feels durable and comfortable, and it handles everyday use without issues. It comes with a USB-C high-speed cable, and the transfer speeds are exactly what you expect — fast. What I love most is how natively it connects. My phone detected it instantly as external storage. I just select my photos and videos, tap “copy originals,” and everything moves over in seconds. I use it mainly to unload large video files from my gallery — copy, delete from the phone, and move on. No glitches, no surprises, just pure speed and convenience. If I had to mention one thing to improve, it would be amazing if this SSD had built-in MagSafe. Being able to snap it to the back of the phone would take convenience to another level. But that’s just a wish, not a complaint. Five stars from me — really satisfied.

The 2TB Samsung T7 Shield has been an excellent purchase. The transfer speed is impressive, reaching up to 1050MB/s, making it easy to move large files in seconds. Furthermore, its portable and rugged design with IP65 certification gives me peace of mind when using it outdoors, as it withstands water and dust without issue. It's ideal for photographers, content creators, and gamers because it combines performance, security, and durability in a single device. Without a doubt, a reliable SSD that I take with me everywhere.

Fast and reliable USB drive. I will only purchase SSD drives now rather than a traditional spinning platter drive. As a video editor, the drive capacity and read speed is critical. I have a few of these now in different size capacities and these Samsung T7 drives are my preferred external drives for a few reasons. First, they're SSD drives so the possibility to go bad in contrast to a spinning platter drive is very slim. I have lost a few traditional drives over the years and once is enough. I have not had an SSD drive fail yet. Second, these Samsungs are fast. I am able to edit high bit rate, 4k media directly from these USB-C drives without having to bog down my internal drives with the footage files. The read speed is quick enough to not be a concern while editing directly from the drives. I've not been concerned with write speed but the benchmark tests are still high. They do not get hot like the traditional drives do. Form factor: tiny and easy to transport! I have 1TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB drives. Three of these together are still smaller than a traditional rugged external drive AND with no moving parts, I don't need to be concerned with careful packing and accidental shock. They arrive formatted as exfat so very easy to use with either mac or PC. They're affordable too. Every time a cheap client or agency provides me footage on a slow, sub-standard platter drive, I transfer it all to one of these Samsungs asap.

I do a lot of backups, and I've been backing up computers to hard drives for a very long time. As different external drives move to prominence, I move to them. Samsung SSDs I had used as internal drives, but the first class of SSD I used for external drives were the Sandisk 4TB Extreme Pro V1 & V2 portable SSDs. These drives were absolutely phenomenal! I literally bought a dozen of them over many years. But then, in the past 18 months or so, Sandisk released a bad batch of them that lost user data! So until they fixed the issue, I couldn't risk buying one, so I tried the Rugged T7 - which seems like the closest substitute. It's a fine drive to compare to the old Extremes. It's a little bigger and heavier, but that's because it's rugged, and I love that. I love the rubber feel. Samsung generously gives you two full cables to use with it - one with USB-A and one with USB-C. The packaging was really cool, but I'm one of those people who likes to store the drive and cable in the original packaging, and the box is pretty huge for that. This isn't an issue at all if you want to just store the drive separately. So why do I only consider this a good drive until Sandisk gets back on their feet again? Simply because it's a lot slower than the Extremes. For people coming from rotating disks, they will be very impressed, but this is more like a gen1 SSD drive. Using an APFS formatted volume with USB-C and an Apple M1 Max laptop, on BlackMagic I consistently got 825 MB/second read and 633 MB/second write. With the Extreme, I never dropped below 1,000. (Except in real world transfers, where everyone falls and seek rates are more important.) I haven't done a backup yet with one of these and my M1 Max, so as soon as I do, I'll update this with a comparison. But so far, this looks to be a fine drive. And It's OK fast - going faster is more of a luxury item. Since I cannot at the moment recommend Sandisk drives due to the huge scandal, I whole heartedly recommend this Samsung rugged T7 as the next best thing. And it's at a great price, too - I got the 4TB for just $250. I guess with that in mind, being slower is fine. :) Fingers crossed that companies will solve the technology issues that have been holding back 8TB drives.

Great little SSD. Can hold a lot of data and it transfers at a decent speed. Needed one for gaming purposes. Call of duty is over 300GB and I didn’t want to use up my internal hardrive. Saying so it does lag a bit at moments for this game. Not sure about the 1000mbs but it does work ok. It’s compact so it can be stored away and it comes with both USB to USB bus or type C to type c bus.

Llevó unos meses probándolo, haciendo respaldo de todo lo que esta a mi paso, la computadora del trabajo, la del hogar, la de mi amiga, respaldos de celulares Android y apenas he ocupado una cuarta parte del espacio total de 4TB, si bien debo decir que como en toda unidad de almacenamiento una pequeña parte de este espacio es ocupado por archivos del disco u otros de sistema, más o menos te quedán libres 3726gb. La velocidad de escritura es de cerca de 1050 mb/s pero es necesario estar conectado a un USB 3.0, sino la velocidad será reducida dramáticamente como a la mitad. En general los tiempos de transmisión de datos son asombrosos con el T7. Una de las cosas que más me gustan es que puedes ver los archivos en cualquier parte con solo conectar el cable al dispositivo, trae 2, uno entrada CtoC y otro CtoUSB. Es importante desmontar la unidad tanto en el celular como en la computadora para no corromper los datos o dañar el disco duro. Lo que no te explican es que en el celular hay que bajar la aplicación SAMSUNG MAGICIAN para configurar el T7 con una contraseña alfanumérica segura. Si se activo la contraseña y lo queremos abrir en Windows hay que instalar un archivo la primera vez para poder ingresar el password y nos de acceso a todos los archivos cifrados. Eso si, si pierdes la contraseña tendrás que llevarlo a un centro autorizado para que te ayuden a desbloquearlo. Lo que no me gusta es que lo traigo en la bolsa y se llena de pelusas con el material como tipo goma, pero nada que un trapo húmedo no pueda resolver. Conviene comprar un case aunque diga que resiste golpes y tenga una IP6. En resumen es una super opción que si bien es costosa vale la pena por el respaldo masivo de datos en la palma de tu mano. (es sumamente pequeño para tener 4TB) Además que SAMSUNG es una marca reconocida y el producto es fabricado en Corea. Se puede trabajar con el si te gusta producir contenido para Internet como videos o fotos. El envío fue en apróx. 4días considerando que venía desde lejos. Vale la pena hacer inversión en este gadget. Ideal para Win o MacOs.

Excellent and fast in backups and retrievals..

I’ve been using the Samsung T7 Shield for a little while now, and it has exceeded my expectations in several ways. • Size & Portability: The first thing that surprised me was how compact it is. It easily fits in a pocket or small bag, making it great for travel or everyday carry. • Performance: Transfer speeds are excellent. Copying large video files and project folders was noticeably faster compared to my older external drives. The advertised speeds of over 1,000 MB/s feel accurate in real-world use, especially when connected via USB-C. • Durability: The rubberized design feels very solid and resistant. It doesn’t feel fragile at all, and it gives peace of mind when carrying it around. I haven’t drop-tested it, but it clearly seems built to withstand bumps and daily use. • Compatibility: I tested it on both Windows and macOS, and it worked right away with no setup hassle. It’s also handy that it’s compatible with Android for quick mobile storage. Possible Consideration: To get the best speeds, you’ll want to use it with a USB-C connection. Using older USB-A ports still works, but it will be slower. Overall, this SSD combines speed, portability, and durability in a very sleek package. If you need reliable storage for work, travel, or backups, this is an excellent choice.

Pequeno, de fácil transporte, leve, e não aqueceu durante o uso intenso. Bom acabamento e de rápida comunicação com o computador ou notebook. Valeu o custo.

Samsung product. Solid performance.
