If you need an external storage for your games, look no further.

Buy this (portable) external storage device now!

I'm using this for my STEAM AAA-games.

They all load super fast, just exactly like my internal M.2 in my ACER gaming laptop you see there in my pix :)
.
Hurry while 1TB is (under) a 100 bucks now.
.
I got mine when it was only for a whopping 239$ :) :) :)

The most durable and solid portable hard drive I have ever used, fast too. I have always used WD in the past but this one is 10X better! Even better that it is on sale for $219.99!

I am absolutely thrilled with the SAMSUNG T7 Shield 4TB Portable SSD! As a DJ and content creator it has exceeded my expectations. This SSD offers a massive amount of storage, which was exactly what I was looking for—and it still provides room to spare even after transferring all my files from the cloud.
Its compact and lightweight design is a huge plus, making it incredibly easy to carry around. I primarily use it with my Mac, and it works flawlessly. The portability and capacity of the T7 Shield make it ideal for anyone who deals with large files on the go, such as in video editing or graphic design. It handles large files smoothly, making my workflow much more efficient.
I would definitely recommend this portable SSD to anyone who needs reliable, spacious, and transportable storage. It’s a top-notch choice for professionals and casual users alike!

I was on the fence for a while about purchasing it, but luckily Best Buy had a great sale running and I’m so glad I finally bought it!  It has come in so handy with how portable it is and the speed is great on it. I’m able to transfer tens and hundreds of gigs with ease! Thanks for a great product!

I snagged this on sale and it has been an excellent addition for my PC gaming storage needs. Compact, with a nice enclosure to protect against the inevitable accodental drops, with read, write, and transfer speeds that exceeded my expectations. Would def buy again if the need arises

Great external ssd. Used it recently for a commercial production and it did not disappoint. Was fast as advertised and the rugged design is a nice touch. Will be picking up more of these.

Great SSD! I’m a photographer and I’ve had it for over a year or two and I’ve been able to edit photos and videos on it. Fast and reliable! Totally recommended!

Overall good purchase. As with always, you never fully get the full storage space on these external drives (and same with memory cards). Given how big video and image files continue to be with tech advances, worth going for the largest storage possible. Love the small size and portability and durability of this design. Would recommend. Protects from dust, spills, floods, drops, and more, makes it a great find for keeping data safe. Check out how small it is next to the laptop in the photo.

A great value for the money the time I bought it, I use it as an external storage for my videos while editing them, I have the 1T in blue, the 4TB in Black, and soon the 2TB in white.
The rubber casing is a dust magnet but it protects well the SSD drive. The read/write speed is good enough for my needs, there are faster SSD drives if this is your main concern.
It comes with a protection software which I didn't use.

Drive has surpassed my expectations as a Time Machine backup drive for my MacBook Pro. This is a critical business use device so robust backup is critical.
Fast, both data transfer and time to mount and unmount. I used to wait for several minutes for my drive to unmount. The Samsung unmounts in a few seconds!

I had to transfer from my old failing external hard drive and it was very easy to transfer 100’s of pictures, personal manuscripts and over 200 commercial movies, many over 2 hours long and it only took about, 2.5 - 3 hours. They all transferred glitch free.

The Samsung - T7 Shield 4TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Rugged SSD IP65 Water Resistant in Black is an incredible drive for daily use as well as backup. The data transfer rate is as fast as the internal SSD. These drives are incredible!

I bought two of these and a T9 for an external scratch disk and backup. It is an astounding product. Finally, something that can take advantage of my Macbook Pro's M3 Max speeds and connectivity. Thank you Samsung.
