I have two 4 terabyte T7 Shields I use for 4K editing on a daily basis. Going on 14 months and they have worked perfectly-

[@souravranjanbarik6030]

Can we do gaming on this ssd?

[@naijahfed-up1783]

@@souravranjanbarik6030 yes you can but i recommend you do gaming on a nvme .2 and just use the ssd for game save storage because nvme loads games faster

[@adityapathak859]

I've do gaming on this it's good although my ssd is corrupted now because of a firmware update and it's dead there no dedicated service for this and I lost my precious data apart from that they offered me a new ssd so I'm happy.

[@souravranjanbarik6030]

@adityapathak859 how did you get a new ssd?

[@blackbirds1440]

for SSDs reliability should be preferred than outright transfer speed. T7 is one of the most reliable SSDs in the market for some time.

[@RossiB172]

I just said that on another video. They all talk speeds. Don't care long as my data don't get scrapped😅 but on the flip side not many people can say yet its lasted decades

[@privatemale2147]

Thanks for being straight forward and expedient with your explanation.

[@kraigbailey]

I've been a professional video editor for over 2 decades. I don't know ANY editors who put footage on the internal drive. Due to wear and tear we always use external storage, FYI.

[@Shorties88]

Hey, i just want to store my videos and pictures, will this be a good option? Or you have any other suggestion

[@Mr.Okumura]

Nice video Adam, as always. I have a couple of T7: one T7 touch for security and one T7 shield. I use the touch one for backup files and important things, while I use the shield as a boot drive for my old iMac from late 2015. It is such a massive upgrade from the old HDD in that iMac!

[@adamtalkstech]

Wow that’s awesome that the 2015 is still rocking! I have a couple 2017s at work we still use.

[@diegoramirezdaza]

Having really hard time with this drive, used magician on my samsung s23 with no problem but not able to connect it to my samsung tablet 9plus, any suggestions?? Thanks

[@FORDTECH313]

Do you recommend this for using large file? Transfers I do a lot of software programming on cars and the USB flex drives that I have bought in. I have all taken a crap they overheat and then they just stopped working.

[@JVEGA999]

Will this work with the M4?

[@charlesblau131]

It works on mine. I’m using it as a backup drive.

[@tomrmalcolm]

great review, thanks!!

[@adamtalkstech]

Thank you for watching!

[@OhSnap-kb9vr]

I just bought the T7 4TB for $239.99 on Amazon. 👍

[@adamtalkstech]

That's a solid price for a 4TB!

[@Maksitto]

How about nvme enclosure with m2 ssd? It can be about 3000 mb speed

[@foggyfrog1653]

Yeah that is another option but it kinda depends on what you need the drives for and the pricing difference

[@realparvana]

so, for macbook users, you would recommend the T7 or T7 shield?

[@adamtalkstech]

Shield is more durable, but a little bulkier.

[@73jayzee]

which cable would you recommend to go along with this? I want to record BRAW onto it using the s5iix /video assist, and then edit the videos on my M1 macbook pro

[@adamtalkstech]

I really like the kondor blue 12” and 18” ones. They also have a coiled one that is nice too but I haven’t gotten to use that one yet.

[@tom8592]

Would you suggest using this on an iMac instead of the internal HDD OS?/ Ventura.

[@adamtalkstech]

Depends on the year of the iMac but if its one of the old HDD ones then yes

[@tom8592]

@@adamtalkstech thanks!

[@aircreed]

Can I plug this into my s22 ultra and record video directly to it from the default camera app?

[@adamtalkstech]

I'm not an android expert but if it allows you to write to SSD then yes.

[@andreitrinidad]

I bought one, and it is normal to get hot to the touch when using it?

[@adamtalkstech]

Yes

[@yyyhhh8481]

was there files already on the ssd? i deleted it was it imoprtant or not?

[@adamtalkstech]

Yeah you don’t need those.

[@Akielus1987]

Would this work if i plug it directly on my phone?

[@21asds]

yes

[@spinrite1]

What kind of phone? Some won't supply enough power to run this portable drive

[@21asds]

@@spinrite1 I'm not sure but it should work with any phone that has usb c

[@willl.3353]

This thing has transfer rates faster than iphone 15 or s24 so it's still relevant.

[@adamtalkstech]

Definitely. Just depends on how you want to use it.
