I'm looking to pick this up, I love the beige more than the blue one but I'm quite concerned with how well it holds up as it ages. Is there anyone who has gotten the beige?, How is it holding up with aging and dirt with regard to it's colour?
Using now for almost a year, and I’m having issues. The drive slows down sometimes to where I have to run a first aid on it then it works fine again. Not sure why
I have the non shield versions of the Samsung T7. I have both the standard and touch versions, both 1TB. The drives comes with two cables - USB-C to USB-C and USB-A to USB-C in the box. I use mine as backup with my Samsung Galaxy S20FE 5G and other devices. This means less reliant on having microSD as expandable storage. It is worth getting any of these drives. I got mine on discount offers from Argos and Currys. Good review.
@@naumanmirza7 Since my post last year, I have added a 2 TB T7 Shield (not yet used), another 1TB T7, both as spares. The T7 Touch is slightly better because the fingerprint is quicker access than password. Here in the UK, there are good deals at various times from the stores. That's when I get them. Also cheaper and safer than buying online from a small seller, who may have fakes! Oh yes, my phone is the S23 Ultra, and it has been great.
@@naumanmirza7 T7 Touch for slightly faster access, T7 Shield if you need protection from impacts. If you don't need either, the standard T7 is fine, and the bigger the storage the better.
I am in despair. On the front 10 Gbit USB C port of the PS5, the T7 Shield only reaches 80 mb/sec for me. I just don't understand it. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
I got usb 3.2 gen 1 slots on my pc but this drive only writes for me at 330mb/sec, shouldn't it be quicker then that? I know its not gen 2 to reach that max speed of 1000 but 330 seems a bit low?
Can you please share the details about the LifeSpan or Endurance Level of Samsung T7 Shield SSDs? I want to buy for me personal use. Youe opinion matters.
Nah, the black friday deals right now on this are amazing! I picked up the 2 TB T7 Shield on Best Buy for USD 150! I don't have any active/outdoors use-case for this. I will be using it for general purpose storage of photos, videos and docs :)
Thanks for the upload. I got mine on the sale recently, just wanted an SSD with capacity. But this one over exceeds my expectations. Will get another next sale. And the transfers speed from pc and the to iPad I just the best I ever experienced. But I can’t get my head around the file format that fits both LG oled to and the ipad. Any suggestions?
u should have pushed the durability of the shield to extremes.. drop it on a concrete floor, drive a car over it etc.. it makes for an interesting video and if the drive survived any of these, it would be impressive marketing for Samsung as well
I might grab one for my Xbox one S 😅, it needs that storage (new patch of space for the games I'm going to play in future) until I get the Xbox series S.
I was wondering how you deal with all your shot material, hopping between an endless stream of different new phones + A-role & B-role material. Also what do you edit on? How about gaming content? Do you use whatever the phone itself comes with, or a specific App?
Thanks for the review. Does this "Shielded T7" gets more or less hot than "Regular/Non-Shielded T7"? That "Shield" concerns me that may be the device can get even hotter with that extra plastic cover over the SSD 🤔
Mine got so hot that it overheated and failed. I need to get it replaced by Samsung. The ssd is totally dysfunctional after reaching temperatures that were uncomfortably hot to the touch

@@Vendzor It's great and the finger print sensor works 100% for me. Transfer speeds are incredibly fast. Well worth getting and I wouldn't hesitate in getting another one with larger storage if I ever needed the increased capacity. 👍🏻
@@PeterHughes We live in a great era for tech like this, and it's only gonna get better. I love archiving random stuff like RUclips videos, but the gigabytes add up quick. 5,000+ liked videos plus playlists, all in full quality. Can't be too careful these days man, only a matter of time before the uploader or RUclips removes the video forever. So much golden content on this platform that needs to be archived.
Thank-you for the review. You said that we have to use encryption on the drive, and use a Samsung programme to access it. Which means the disc drive won't decrypt on ios, Android phones, or with my TV. As soon as they make us use encrption on all these drives, the drives turn into book stops. Glad I didn't buy this.
Just picked this up on sale for my video production . I have a 1 tb ssd in my pc & it just is not enough space for up-scaling movies to 8k. I have an up-scaling program that up-scales video footage up to & including 8K resolution which produces video files of over a tb(if they are over about 1 hour and a half). This ssd will be perfect for temporarily holding large size up-scaled video files until I convert them to another format that produces videos with no quality loss at a fraction of the size. The ssd will definitely come in handy when I upscale to 12k also.
I don't know what is wrong with you! ... Not only did he mention "compatible with Mac" ..he even uses it in the video! ... Can't you just watch the video to the end and THEN ask your stupid questions? And even if he didn't say/show anything about mac; WHY the fuck would even an Apple computer not recognize external storage?! ...Your question is on every level just stupid! What is the matter with people like you?! Damn...

SSDs are usually tougher than other flash drives (memory cards, USB sticks, …).
That drop test on your deck was brilliantly timed and shot. Monty Python style.
Samsung literally made a working soap bar as a storage device lol
those are kitkats
bars of soap actually

it's nice to have this kind of products since most mobile maker now discard memory card opt from their model
Mine did not include the type a to type c. And it wont come up on my computer with any of my a to c cables. What the hell do i do?
Much appreciated.. I just purchased 1 after this great review.
Which color do you recommend both in terms of looks and low maintenance - beige or black?
Looks ideal for my out and about filming days!

There’s now even a 4tb version!
debating if I should go big or go home
@@bryanCLXT I did! You’ll never think “I wish I got less storage”. Take the initial hit on the price and go for it.

sandisk vs this which one to get i know sandisk speeds are about half of this other than that anything else
I have a T7 Touch and love it
Impressive stuff Chris, not quite as tough as Mr. Statham though i.e. Jason Statham > Samsung T7 Shield > Paper > Daisy > Chris!
Does this work in rear seat entertainment like bmw 7 series or s class have for watching movie ?
What is the TBW on that disk ?
how do I use TRIM to optimize the Samsung T7 Shield?
I recently purchased a new Samsung T7 Shield, and it seems to say that it supports oui 5.1, but can it supports 5.0? (I'm just afraid to update)
would that be overkill if it's just going to use for storage and drag-and-drop pics?

if it is only for storage hdd is fine
No, because it's such a good price, I think it is worth spending the little bit of extra money to get this over an HDD.

Hi,
How did you disable the enryption, and use it with devices that cannot use encryted discs?
@@kolakaos hi. I just formatted the SSD.
u should have pushed the durability of the shield to extremes.. drop it on a concrete floor, drive a car over it etc.. it makes for an interesting video and if the drive survived any of these, it would be impressive marketing for Samsung as well
Ah a perfect device for me
compact and sturdy :D that's how I like it
Loved the review. What are the speeds to/from a phone like S24U? +Does the password protection work on Android as well?
4TB version has just been released :D
A good ssd for my SteamDeck to dualBoot windows
Major competitors offer 5-year warranties, but Samsung only 3 years. Why doesn't Samsung have confidence in the long-term reliability of it's SSDs?
I might grab one for my Xbox one S 😅, it needs that storage (new patch of space for the games I'm going to play in future) until I get the Xbox series S.
We wouldn't need this if we had a SD card slot 😂

Здравствуйте. Напрямую можно скинуть информацию на SSD диск
Anyone have any luck writing on or getting a label to stick to the rubber coating? Any pen (ink, Sharpie, etc) or tape I use just comes right off.
Have you used the xiaomi 12x yet? I'm looking to buy it but don't know if it is the best bang for your buck.
She sells sea shells by the sea shore. Practice that all day long and you'll never say tee sheven shield again. Lol. Nice video 👌
I use the T7 Touch as my backup drive, but this Shield does look good and would be handy to get. If I need to upgrade my storage space.
How has the touch worked out for ya mate? Is the fingerprint thing a gimmick or is it pretty cool?
