Review: Good SSD for Editing - Great little hard drives for quick transfers and raw photo and video editing with no lag. I just wish they were a little cheaper like they used to be. That being said, they are stable and reliable. I'd recommend if you need something that's fast and reliable for editing.
Review: Fast and reliable USB drive - Fast and reliable USB drive. I will only purchase SSD drives now rather than a traditional spinning platter drive. As a video editor, the drive capacity and read speed is critical. I have a few of these now in different size capacities and these Samsung T7 drives are my preferred external drives for a few reasons. First, they're SSD drives so the possibility to go bad in contrast to a spinning platter drive is very slim. I have lost a few traditional drives over the years and once is enough. I have not had an SSD drive fail yet. Second, these Samsungs are fast. I am able to edit high bit rate, 4k media directly from these USB-C drives without having to bog down my internal drives with the footage files. The read speed is quick enough to not be a concern while editing directly from the drives. I've not been concerned with write speed but the benchmark tests are still high. They do not get hot like the traditional drives do. Form factor: tiny and easy to transport! I have 1TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB drives. Three of these together are still smaller than a traditional rugged external drive AND with no moving parts, I don't need to be concerned with careful packing and accidental shock. They arrive formatted as exfat so very easy to use with either mac or PC. They're affordable too. Every time a cheap client or agency provides me footage on a slow, sub-standard platter drive, I transfer it all to one of these Samsungs asap.

A: Yes you can, but have to go through a detailed process, on e done, don't update. Windows is not supported that way.

**Q: I got the t7 shield but on the samsung magician app, it is said that the device has a usb 3.2 gen 1 interface (5 gb/s) not gen 2 interface (10 gb/s)?!**
A: If Magician recognizes T7 Shield then the device is genuine, but since it said the interface is USB 3.2 Gen1 interface, then you have to check whether your PC/lapdop does not support USB 3.2 Gen2 or not.

A: The device delivers a worry-free endurance up to 2,880 terabytes written (TBW), or a three-year limited warranty.
