Purchased this on 27th Apr '23 and on plugging it to my Windows computer was initially surprised, however after spending 2 days with it have some new learnings to share with you all readers and probable purchasers. Who is this review for --> Those who have been writing 40 MBPS transfer speeds and returning product Test Bed --> Used CrystalDisk Mark to test speeds 1. Real World transfer from SSD HDD of Computer (movie size 70 GB blue ray single movie) using USB 3 port and Usb C on T7 --> Fixed speed of 40 mbps. I agree pathetic and nothing to write home about. But why to use USB 3 when I have a USB-C port as well on computer 2. Using USB-C port on computer and USB-C port on T7 shield --> Transfer speed of 130 MBPS for same movie 3. Now Using pure benchmark tests a. Installing Crystal Disk on Computer C Drive and running test on F Drive (t-shield) --> 450 MBPS b. Installing Crystal Disk directly on F Drive (T-shield) --> 1024 MBPS 4. Real World Usage --> Put a 80 GB Hobbit Movie on TP Link USB Port 3.0 and ran movie via KODI app installed on Sony TV (via fire stick). Could run the movie smooth when the distance between router and TV was not much. This is the primary reason I bought this T7 for. When I was trying to run via normal Western Digital 5TB drives, the 80 GB remux were stuttering. By the way the T7 shield did not connect direct to TV via USB cable. 5. I also have a Samsung s23 ultra. Now Copying 50 GB from phone to T7 and vice versa is Super Fast. You have to go to Phones 'My Files' and copy paste from there itself. you will see DCIM folder there. Conclusion -- I would be happier if usb 3.0 had given me 100 + speeds. I would be happier if USB C gave me 300 + speeds on file transfer. However I am still happy that product is what it is, and won't be returning it which was my initial fear. I have seen Online reviews, and this is how this particular SSD performs. Bottom line is this T7 Shield is good if Use Case is Transfer between SSD drives. Did I mention speed of 350 MBPS when transfer between SSD of Computer and this Shield. Yeah! So my next project is to replace 2TB HDD on computer with an SSD to fit my use cases. Hope this long review helps people. Don't buy to return later. This is how the T7 is supposed to function.

Superb product and nice and fast to use

The Samsung T7 Shield is an absolute powerhouse. I was always sceptical about SSDS because they tend to be expensive, and it took me a long time to switch from an HDD to an SSD. A few years ago, USB-C compatibility was not as widespread, but today, if you have a phone, there’s a 90% chance you have a USB-C connection. This SSD is one of the best storage devices I’ve encountered in a decade. The T7 Shield stands out due to its form factor, transfer speeds, and rugged design. It is protected from accidental falls, rugged terrain, and extreme temperatures. Not only is it visually appealing, but it also excels in performance and transfer speed, effortlessly handling large file transfers. It doesn’t heat up during use, thanks to the silicone or rubber coating that effectively dissipates heat. My love for this product is unwavering. This is my second purchase, and I have no regrets. I first bought one for my wedding, where I transferred 20,000 to 30,000 pictures in one go. The T7 Shield handled the entire process without a hitch, proving its durability. The T7 Shield is a true leader in the SSD market, known for its robustness and unwavering performance. For those considering a purchase, I highly recommend the 2 TB version. As a proud owner of the 1 TB and 500 GB models, I can attest to their performance. However, the 2 TB version is the way to go for a truly versatile and long-term investment. Whether you're a photographer with an SLR camera, a gamer with a PlayStation 5 or Steam Deck, or a tech enthusiast with an iPhone, MacBook, Mac Mini, or Windows PC, the T7 Shield will exceed your expectations across all these platforms.
