About SAMSUNG T7 Shield 2TB, Portable SSD
Overall Feedback:
84% positive
79% appreciated the ample storage capacity, though 21% found it limited
With a 4TB storage capacity, I never have to compromise on my creative endeavors or worry about insufficient space by juggling between multiple storage devices.
I ordered a 1TB SSD but received a unit with only 930 GB of storage, which is 70 GB less than advertised.
78% appreciated its wide compatibility, though 22% encountered issues with their device
The external solid state drive is supposed to be Mac compatible, but I had to do something I shouldn't have to do.
I faced a significant issue with the compatibility of the drive with Mac OS. I had to format the drive with the Apple format to get better speed.
Samsung did not inform us that the T7 SSD would not be recognized by Mac unless we change the security system settings to allow system extensions.
On the T7 shield range of SSDs, the USB-C jack does not feel like a snug fit.

80% praised its rugged and durable design
I appreciate the durability of the SSD with its rugged design and water and dust resistance, allowing me to use it in various environments without worrying about potential damage.
I am not sure about the longevity of the SSD as I have only used it for a month. However, I have faith in its durability as it is well built and sturdy, with an exterior wrapped in a hard rubber shell to absorb shock and enhance durability.
The external solid-state drive has a shock-resistant exterior which adds an extra layer of durability. This is beneficial for me as I am often on the go or work in challenging environments.
82% praised for its fast data transfer speeds, while 18% experienced slow loading times
The SSD performance is fast and the housing is rugged enough to withstand reasonable bumps and drops. It is also small enough to fit in my pocket.
My workflow reached unprecedented heights with the external solid state drive's unrivaled performance, durability, and generous storage capacity.
The drive is fairly fast, but falls well short of the advertised speeds.
80% liked its compact and lightweight design, while 20% found it bulky
My hard drive is small in size and faster than the external HDD drives it is replacing.
I knocked down one star for portability because the cable doesn't have a solid click into the drive and I could see it being knocked out while bumping around in my backpack.
