Samsung T7/ T7 Shield failures? Has it happened to you?

[RZO]

Was just transferring fairly large data amounts (~500GB) from one of our Workstations to a T7 Shield and it got extra extra hot, data speeds slowed drastically, then the drive corrupted on us entirely.

After I formatted, checked the drive out and took it on a test run. Ended up not being able to get more than 10MB/s over USB-C connection on a 50gb file transfer, and it ultimately settled on KB/s after a few minutes of transfer when the heat saturation started to set in. 

 

So... that leads me to the question; how often does this happen? Anyone else experience T7 Shield failures under heavy load? Is it possible that the rubber protection case does more harm than good?

Our small studio has been using T7's for the convenience of grabbing data and sharing with our clients, regardless of our location. What comparable alternatives could we look for?

 

Please share your thoughts

Cheers lads  have a good day!
