Not the cheapest it has been, so please go easy on me! Selling for the price listed in the title ($383.15), via Amazon UK, lowest ever was $349.96, average is $537.05 (as per Camel).

Going for $749 at JB, $749 at Bing Lee, $899 at Officeworks, et cetera - so I think this is a pretty great deal.

I personally can't say enough positive things about this SSD - it's not perfect, but for the size, weight, IP specs and speeds… 4TB for this price is a steal. Of course, the T9 is faster, but it is not dust/shock/water resistant to the same extent as the T7.

But be quick, it's a limited time offer (no coupon required, but seemingly with an allocated amount of stock for the deal).

I've personally loaded mine up (from a previous sale) with films + TV series, and can plug it into my Nvidia Shield TV Pro without issue. I can easily write a 60GB film onto this SSD at an insanely fast rate.

Enjoy!

      Implying this is only worthy of a sympathy vote is not very nice to OP. Misleading people to disregard this with current pricing is not very nice to others.

        Why everyone negging this? It’s a fair point no?
        Voting should be merits based
        Everyone is salty these days or dumb lol

    Very good price, could go down the path of an NVME enclosure but for an out of the box solution this is very good.

    I went and bought a Samsung X5 Thunderbolt SSD for $130 on eBay, opened it up, replaced the SSD with a 4TB module and it works like a charm. Still the best speeds out of any portable SSD possible.

      Those r sorta finicky tbh imo

      • AircraftFreight on 22/08/2024 - 16:19

        My one has been performing amazingly with 0 issues and with zero additional setup, the only only caveat is that you can only use them on Thunderbolt 3/4/5 ports and not on any USB interface.

    • merajaan on 22/08/2024 - 15:32

      Hi mate, the Samsung X5 Thunderbolt SSD don't seem to be available for sale anymore and it doesn't look Samsung even have a Thunderbolt compatible portable SSD drive any more. Do you know of any other portable SSD's that you can mod your own drive with?

  • KangaDrew on 22/08/2024 - 15:41

    I've got two of 2TB models - one for Time Machine backups and another for iOS + iPadOS backups. I'll hold out on a 4TB until BF and see what's available, but these are great drives.

    Not a bad price. But cheapest it has been recorded on OZB (not the 4TB version) price per TB it's:

    Samsung T7 Shield Portable SSD: 1TB $87, 2TB $163 (Exp) (C&C Only / Delivery Stock: Sold Out) @ Bing Lee eBay

    • Not Applicable on 22/08/2024 - 15:49

      This is the 4TB though

    • eecan on 22/08/2024 - 15:50

      Definitely might work for some others but for me (and I suspect many others looking at these specific drives) the 1/2TB models are almost irrelevant because I need the 4TB capacity and am prepared to pay a premium for it.

  • edfoo on 22/08/2024 - 16:00

    Still waiting for 1TB T7, even the non-Shield model, to go under $100 again :-(

  • aeon on 22/08/2024 - 16:18

    Anyone know whether the rubber texture on the Shield is of the same sort that perishes after a few years and gets ultra sticky? Part of my T3 drive did that, and I much prefer the solid metal of the T5 and T7 drives

    • jenna12 on 22/08/2024 - 17:02

      I've got a couple that are a year or so old and haven't started to go icky yet, but they do mostly see indoor and bagged use.

    • foreverphoenix on 22/08/2024 - 17:06

      It depends what you store on it. Certain type of movies will make it extra sticky ;)

      Jokes aside, my 1 year old is fine so far but I think those plastics start to get sticky after a few more years. I don’t think this drive has been around that long to have been tested for this

    • Skarekrow73 on 22/08/2024 - 17:36

      I have a T7 shield (along with some standard T7s and some T5s) that I use for shooting to from a cinema camera and it wouldn't fit the SSD mount/holder that I had, so I just ripped the rubber casing off and it's nice and smooth and metal underneath, plus it fit into the mount. I didn't need the mild waterproofing anyway.

      I will note that it's like a silver metal though, not a nice dark brushed colour or something. It's obviously not meant to be seen, but doesn't look bad.

    gov should fine them for over profiting from us

    Bought it for $348 in a previous deal earlier this year. Great SSD. This is still a very good price.

    • endlesseuphoria on 22/08/2024 - 17:11

      Same here, think I got it for around $352 earlier this year. It's performing flawlessly - more than fast enough for what I need it for (as mentioned, I use the 4TB purely for films/TV shows (some of which are 60GB Remux files), I also have a 1TB purely for backups for my Mac + iPhone).

      I know that for playing films/TV shows, on e.g. my Nvidia Shield TV Pro, a standard HDD is very often fast enough, as in, the reading speed… but I just love being able to write films etc onto this SSD so quickly from my Mac. Plus you get the mini form factor etc. The very first T7 I bought, it really shocked me - just how small, portable, lightweight it is. Crazy. This little beast has travelled the world with me, even to places such as Ukraine, you can so easily slip it into somewhere super secure whilst on the go.

      Would love to see a T9 in a "Shield" variant, 4TB, even if it costs ~$600 or more… I'd pay it (no doubt it would take me forever to actually pull the trigger haha) as I really need one for my photography + filmography + video editing, something that can read/write even faster than this, especially when I'm on the go and filming in high def, saving directly to the SSD.

      But the T7 is no slouch, it does well in that area, too, and it reliably transfers at the advertised 1,050/1,000 MB/s. Strangely, the 1TB standard (non-Shield) T7 I have consistently fails to read/write at the advertised speeds. Anyway, speedier would be nice for that specific caseload… but for me it's a hobby, not work, so not really a high priority.

      Anyway, that's another topic, in any event, enjoy your T7 👌🏻

    • Remorhaz on 22/08/2024 - 17:34

      Same (at the start of July) - I paid $348.07 to be exact

  • Pigey on 22/08/2024 - 17:00

    Yeah would be great to see a 2TB on sale again!
