We have some excellent news: our top-pick portable SSD is currently on sale! The Samsung T7 Shield is heavily discounted at Amazon right now, with the 1TB version’s price down to $100 from its MSRP of $170 for a cool savings of $70.
The T7 Shield is a super-fast storage option that’s sleek, gorgeous, and rugged enough for almost anything you throw its way. It was designed to withstand the elements—IP65 rating for water and dust resistance—making it a solid portable SSD for when you’re out and about.
When we reviewed the Samsung T7 Shield, we found it to be excellent, granting it 4.5 out of 5 stars and our Editors’ Choice award.
Thanks to PCIe NVMe technology, the T7 Shield offers blazing-fast read and write speeds up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s. “The T7 Shield was also the fastest 10Gbps external SSD we’ve tested writing 450GB, and somewhat surprisingly, bested two of the 20Gbps drives we’ve tested,” wrote our expert Jon Jacobi in his review.
Compatibility isn’t an issue with this tiny portable SSD, either. Samsung’s T7 Shield works just as well with Windows PCs, speedy Macs, Android devices, gaming consoles, and more.
The 1TB version is the most affordable, but there are also larger storage options: the 2TB version is $195 (down from $285) and the 4TB version is $318 (down from $500). We also recently spotted the non-Shield version of the T7 on sale at a significant discount that’s still available.
But the best deal is the 1TB version of the Samsung T7 Shield, which you can grab right now for just $100. Don’t miss it!
