Amazon October Prime Day Deal: Samsung T7 Shield 2TB Portable Solid State Drive (SSD) for $157.99
The Samsung T7 Shield is a 2TB external solid state drive. SSDs are much faster than traditional hard drives, and combined with the USB 3.2 Type-C interface, the T7 is capable of transfer speeds of up to 1,050MB/s read and 1,000MB/s write. As a comparison, a traditional portable hard d rive is only capable of transfer speeds of about 100MB/s over USB 3.0. That's a veritable order of magnitude in difference.
That's not where the advantages of an external SSD end. SSDs have no moving parts, so they're less likely to fail on you if you drop them. They also consume very minimal power, and the lone USB connection wil provide all the juice you'll need.
The Samsung T7 Shield in particular is even more durable than your typical SSD enclosure. It's rated for IP65 water and dust resistance, and it's shockproof to 10 feet. Metal enclosures might look pretty, but they get dinged up over time. The soft touch enclosure on the T7 Shield is less prone to general wear and tear and it's also easier to grip.
