Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this work with an M2 Mac Mini?David B : Yes. No doubt. I use mine with my Mac Mini M2 as well as with my 2016 MBP. seamless interchangeability between the two. Just have to make sure to eject it (in Finder window) before unplugging and switching.DANIEL M : 100% yes. I have mine formatted for APFS and it works great on my Mac Studio M2. Its my main video drive for raw files.
Tony A : Does the drive come w/ any backup software?MARK S : Tony, I use several of these Samsung SSDs for my music production work. I’ll be honest, there may be some built-in backup-to-the-cloud capabilities with these drives but, I’ve never used that feature. When I get a new drive, I usually re-format it and anything that Samsung has pre-loaded, which takes up drive capacity, is removed. Samsung does include a data recovery warranty which I’ve also never used. With that said, I can’t imagine why one would need to worry about that. I’ve been using these for more than 5 years and even the oldest ones are incredibly stable and error free. I do my own backups to an 8TB RAID network drive in my studio. Hope this is helpful.

Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Ten out of Ten I would recommend!

This is the best portable storage that I have used in a long time. Very durable I have carried it everywhere. The design is perfect able to grip it without with the silicone body. I have no problems connecting to any of my phones or laptop to be able to add more files to clear space on other devices. This 1TB for me holds a lot of the pictures and documents that I need but dont need right away giving me room to add more later and come back when needed. This is a ten out of ten for getting the job that I need it to do. I highly recommend and if 1TB is not enough for you, they also have it in 2TB and 4TB. Which makes it even better to fit ones needs.

Fantastic choice

My hands-on experience with the Samsung T7 Shield 4TB Portable SSD was overwhelmingly positive. Its combination of high capacity, fast performance, and rugged durability made it a reliable companion for managing large media files and backups. The slight slowdown with small file writes was a minor inconvenience compared to its overall reliability and versatility. For anyone needing a portable, high-capacity SSD for demanding tasks, this drive is a fantastic choice.

Perfect portable ssd

I have a number of the T5 drives, so I bought one of these T7 shields to be more portable and safer outdoors. Though I haven't really experienced any issues with the t5's outdoors I never really push them to the weather extremes. The t7 Shield feels like nothing is going to damage it it just gives you that satisfaction in your hand when you feel that rubber sleeve around it they both adds grip because of the grooves as well as padding. When you place down the t5s or the other SDS in this line you usually feel that metal scrape against harder surfaces that are not polished. But the T7 sheild doesn't have this issue. I would replace all my T5s with t7 Shields if I could go back. I also love how small it is even a slightly bulkier than the T5 I can slide it into my pocket and forget about it the soft grip of the t7 shield padding actually keeps it in your pocket instead of falling out like the smooth T5 metal. Performance wise it's great I've not had any issues with any of these Samsung portable ssds, the t7 Shield is extremely fast and works on everything Plug and Play including my Android devices and all of my computers and laptops. If you experience any speed issues just make sure to check your actual device USB version or the cable you use... These devices work just as they are rated. I highly recommend them for transferring things between devices or content creation storage. These devices, (because they're so small) can be clipped onto the backs of phones with the proper adapters that you can find elsewhere.

Amazing features and safety for data!

Absolutely amazing storage device for my photos! Everything worked out the box, no setup necessary, and samsung magician is great for seeing the health of the device. Only gripe is the USB-C connector is loose with most cables, and you need specific cables to have it locked in well.
