Samsung T7 Shield Portable SSD

The drive works well, but it wasn’t easy to figure out how to format for MacBook Pro APFS. You have to run erase twice to format apfs. APFS will not appear in the disk utility until you format first in extended. I found this out on Segate’s website. It be nice if Samsung had instructions for formatt...

I needed more storage for my Mac, so I got this. It works as a drive just fine, but the software that came with it was a dud. I gave up trying to install it. The 'fix' that I found for this problem was too much trouble to bother, so don't get excited about the included software.

I am recording local TV on this digital hard drive. Hundreds of hours of programs 📺 will fit. Every once in a while, there is a millisecond blip in playback. All in all fixed my recording issues. 😊

speed starts off well but slows down quickly. Transferring large amonts of data will take a long time. If just moving a few files at a time, then this is good. It does have a large capacity.

. . . the performance of this drive should be sued by Samsung over defamation. Because they are clearly noobs who don't know much about computers. The speed of this drive depends on the type of USB or USB-C port it is connected to. This drive supports USB 3.0, which is capable of up to 500MB/sec. Se...

Wanted an external drive for backup purposes... for two smart phones, two desktop computers and a laptop... so it had to be large enough for the task, with extra space for future backups or additional devices. I've always had a preference for solid state drives (SSD), feeling they are more reliable,...

It is true Plug and Play for fast data transfer/backup even though I used 2.0 USB ports. Just "Copy & Paste" doesn't need the installation of any software. My computer is updated with "Microsoft Edge". Though I have 800 GB of data to copy, I realized I need 2TB in order to use it as a continuous bac...

First off, this is exactly what you're looking for if you're thinking of getting an external SSD. I was skeptical of how good an external SSD could be, but this has surpassed all expectations. It's fast, lightweight, didn't require any setup, and takes up barely any space on my desk. Because of the ...

I bought this SSD to replace a HDD that I dropped (resulting in a tragic loss of two years' data). I was looking for a rugged, lightweight and portable option. The T7 Shield checked all my boxes. I just wish it came in 4TB capacity. The outside coating is rubberized, so you won't drop it. It comes w...

This drive is everything I hoped. However, I was initially confused because I couldn't format it as APFS, only MacOS. Disk Utility said it lacked the correct GUID partition system or something along those lines. I couldn't figure out how to re-partition the drive. Turns out, in the View menu on Disk...
