Samsung T7 Shield 4TB Portable SSD - 1050MB/s, Rugged, Water & Dust Resistant, for Content Creators - Black

I needed to clear memory on my late gen iPad AND my Motorola phone. Looked at thumb drives and finally chose one that said it was compatible with both devices. Yah… IF I download their app on my phone and iPad. Reluctantly I did and no, it wouldn’t transfer any type file, only pics. Physically destroyed the useless device and started over.I say all of this to illustrate when I say I plugged this 1tb drive in, out of the box, on both devices, it showed up and I transferred files to it. I plugged it into a windows computer and downloaded movies, plugged it into my iPad and Motorola phone and each played those movies. No apps, no spyware just plug and play.How big is it? It’s the size of a credit card and about as thick as a bare smart phone. I expected it to rapidly drain my device battery, not so much. Seems to affect my iPad more than my phone but it’s not terrible.It’s a few more spendies than some other options, but to me, the benefits are easily worth the difference. It even includes 2 cables, USB C to USB C and a USB C to USB.

This little SSD is a beast. I use it for backing up audio sessions and video projects on the go, and the speed is unreal — I’m consistently getting over 900MB/s transfers with large files. The rugged design gives me peace of mind when I’m traveling or throwing it in a backpack.It’s shock-resistant, dustproof, and water-resistant — and still somehow sleek and super lightweight. The rubberized coating also keeps it from sliding off a desk. If you’re a content creator, musician, or gamer looking for reliable, high-speed storage, the T7 Shield is worth every penny.⭐️ Shure by Gator SH-BROADCAST1 Boom Arm ReviewHeadline: "Studio-Quality Feel — Smooth, Sturdy, and Clean"Review:This boom arm completely upgraded my setup. The build quality is top-tier — solid metal construction with a super smooth articulating action that doesn’t drift or sag, even with heavier mics like the SM7B. It looks pro, feels pro, and functions flawlessly.The hidden cable management is a huge plus — keeps everything clean and out of the way, which is great if you're on camera or just like a tidy desk. Mounting was simple, and it stays put once positioned. If you're podcasting, recording vocals, or streaming regularly, this is the boom arm to get.

Was told by my computer repair guy (who I totally trust, and was not selling me anything) this was the one they buy. This brand, and Sold State - no moving parts, so it's fast, but costs more and should last longer, I'm told. So far so good. The device itself uses a USB-C connection and you get two cables, one with USB-C on the other end and one with USB-A on the other end. One is way faster, like the ones phone phones have been using for a while (android anyway, know nothing of Apple phones), the smaller ones that can go in up or down (there really is no up or down). But if you don't have a USB-C port on your computer, or not a spare one, I'm told the USB-A will work fine. Used USB-C and it worked with my Windows setup and BluOs music system, hassle free. Only had it a few weeks but so much better than old style drives, with moving parts that read the sectors with that thing that looks like record player arm inside. Used a free program called Total Commander to move stuff and back stuff up onto it. Easier than Robocopy. BUT you have to be careful whend downloading it, you just want that program, not the extra garbage.

I got tired of my little Cloner capture box cooking USB thumb drives. The continuous writing for an hour or two was just no bueno. They'd get hot even when I put a small fan pointed directly on them and then they'd eventually fail. I bought basically every different kind of USB thumb drive, ones rated for "extreme" use etc. and none of them held up particularly well, they all struggled to manage the heat generated by any sort of extensive capture session.I was a bit wary as to whether this SSD would pull too much power, but it seems to run just fine with the included USB-A to USB-C cable.So I gave it a torture test and asked it to run a continuous, 5 hour long, 1080p capture and it did it fine, without ever getting hot. Will it last forever? Probably not, but I am at least cautiously optimistic that I am not going to have to replace it in a couple months. Note that I can't tell you if it gets hot when you run it at faster read/write speeds, but it handles the bit-rate of a 1080p encode just fine.I do like how small it is, and how sturdy it feels in the hand. It is obviously bigger than a thumb drive, but if you think about a credit card but a 1/4 inch thick, you are in the right ballpark. It has just a single activity light that shows if it is reading or writing to the drive, and I had no issue reformatting it to NTFS.

I've been through my fair share of old school hard drives, travel HDD, SD cards, internal SSDs etc... over the years. When this arrived, I was surprised by how small it is. Maybe about half the size of my medium size phone. Exterior rubber is nice, feels good in hand and doesn't slip as much on a desk. Most importantly, that thing is fast and it really doesn't feel like you're dealing with an external peripheral. It's a true pleasure to use. Only gripe is that it disconnects easily if you're not careful but that's something I can overlook given how good everything else is.

Very fast and portable. The software is nice but requires some weird permissions and does not allow for the full control that I was hoping for. It’s also pretty expensive

SAMSUNG T7 Shield 2TB Portable SSDWe're using this to back up files on our laptop.Our previous laptop froze and I can't access the documents, downloads and photos. Very frustrating. We got this so if something happens to the new laptop we'll have access to the files. Now I'm backing up files every one or two weeks.It's easy to use. It plugs into the USB port and I just copy files using File Explorer.
