If you need a portable SSD with ample capacity that you can take with you anywhere without worrying that it’ll get damaged, you don’t have too many options—and of those limited options, the Samsung T7 Shield will always be one of the most reliable. Fortunately, it’s on sale!
Right now, you can get the 1TB version for $100, which is a whopping 41% off its $170 MSRP. If you need even more storage space, you can instead get the 2TB version for $160, which is an even better 44% off, down from its $285 original price. Sadly, there’s no discount for the 4TB capacity model right now.
Either way, the Samsung T7 Shield is a rugged portable SSD that doesn’t just look sleek and gorgeous but performs well and withstands physical damage. It can hit read speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and write speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s, which means you’ll be moving large files around in no time at all—excellent performance for the price.
In fact, we loved the Samsung T7 Shield when we reviewed it, giving it a 4.5-star rating and our Editors’ Choice award, as we found it to be speedy and reliable, and we appreciated how it offers a well-rounded 10Gbps experience. Our only knock against it was the price, but that’s not an issue when it’s as steeply discounted as it is right now.
