SAMSUNG T7 Shield 4TB, Portable SSD, up-to 1050MB/s, USB 3.2 Gen2, Rugged, IP65 Water & Dust Resistant, for Photographers, Content Creators and Gaming, Extenal Solid State Drive (MU-PE4T0S/AM), Black

I bought this to store my active files for photo and video editing. Previously Ive been using larger capacity external hard drives, but was told that these SSDs were faster and more rugged. I travel a lot and am often shooting at different venues indoors and outdoors, so having a hard drive that can get bounced around in a backpack is important to me. I had held off on buying SSDs in the past because of the smaller storage capacities and higher costs. I was compelled to purchase this after seeing the 2TB capacity at an affordable price point. So far I have not been disappointed. It is lightning fast in noticeable ways. For example, my Lightroom catalogue would take several minutes to load on my old 5TB external hard drive. But on this thing, Lightroom takes seconds. Editing in Photoshop, while not slow, was often cumbersome and took time to run AI filters and other actions. Now its near instant. Saving large image files takes no time at all. Everything just runs smoother, faster, and more efficiently. The SSD is small enough to fit in my pants pocket and has a thick rubberized exterior that protects it from the elements. I have no qualms about tossing it in my backpack and heading out with my gear. Its USB-C connector fits in with my hardware environment without need for adapters or hubs. It has become essential for my gear, and I cant recommend it highly enough.

worked as i expected it to.

Im very pleased with this drive. Comes formatted with exFAT so it can connect to almost anything and also record any size file. Im using it for video clips and am very impressed with its performance.

Amazing purchase.

So far so good. functions really well. Hope that it lasts long enough

I like this drive for several reasons. 1) It is relatovely small for a 2Tb drive, 2) It looks like it can take a little abuse although I dont plan to try it, 3) It is extremely fast like a SSD should be, 4) It works well with my Motorola G-power Android phone, and 6) you dont have to install software to use it like you do Western Digital/SanDisk products!

...Samsung SSD so I wanted to test this out for portability while using Serato. It works well so I will be getting another.

Read and write speeds are very good. Size is perfect and also the rubbery body provides the friction to hole it perfectly.

Mostly for considerations of space, r/w speed, size, durability and a bit for what I think might be greater reliability, Ive been moving from magnetic to SSD external hard drives. Samsung and Sandisk T7s (formerly the T5s) Extreme Pros are my go-tos have four or five. Recently, when I was looking for a 2 TB drive, this showed up at the right price. Were all going to wait a while for a reasonable on the Thunderbolt3-speed drives. Liked the padding, which doesnt make it very much bigger.

Veloz, perfecto para trabajos de montaje video directamente desde el SSD.
