Today at Amazon, you can find the Samsung T7 Shield 2TB Portable SSD for one of its best prices to date. The version with a black shell is available for $99, down from its usual rate of $129. There are two other editions in blue and beige but they’re priced at $119.
We had the opportunity to review the Samsung T7 Shield last year and ultimately found the drive to be quite reliable performance-wise with notable durability which is more than appreciated in a portable drive. Our biggest complaint was that it’s speed is limited to 10Gbps.
Samsung T7 Shield 2TB Portable SSD: now $99 at Amazon (was $129)
This discount applies to the black edition of the Samsung T7 Shield 2TB SSD. It can reach read/write speeds as high as 1050/1000 Mbps. The Samsung T7 Shield connects using a USB Type-C interface.
The Samsung T7 shield comes in three capacities including 1TB, 2TB and 4TB. All of the SSDs in this line use a Samsung Pablo controller an feature 128-layer TLC memory. The 2TB edition that’s on sale today can reach read/write speeds as high as 1050/1000 Mbps. This is far from the fastest SSD on the market but the performance and portability make for a worthy combination—especially with today’s discount in mind.
The drive connects using a USB Type-C interface. It comes with optional 256-bit AES encryption for added security. The purchase is supported by both Amazon’s 30-day return policy as well as a limited 3-year manufacturer’s warranty from Samsung.
