Yes, but it's been saying Out of Stock for a few days.

Still hoping they'll release an 8TB version.

I use a T7 Shield as a TimeMachine drive. I'm quite satisfied with it.

I see that B&H Photo now has the 4tb T7 Shield available for pre-order. Thinking about getting a pair of these. They aren't showing a 4tb regular T7 yet, if they were cheaper then I'd go with them since I don't need something rugged.

Samsung Memory is responsible for portable SSDs. This is their email:

samsungmemory@hanaro.eu

If someone is interested in having an 8TB version of T7, they can email them and express their interest.

I suppose if enough people email them about this, they're going to consider producing an 8Tb version.

Really would have liked to get the 4tb version, but I need space for a big project right now and two of the 2tb Shields are cheaper than one 4tb. Headed out to Best Buy right now to get a couple 2tb SSD's right now...

Let them know you would want an 8TB version of T7.😄

The 2TB Samsung T7s are $160 on Amazon right now. Very nice price for a fast, reliable portable USB-C drive.

It's be sweet to have an 8TB option as well.

Is it really technically difficult to make an 8TB version or is it they don't do it because there isn't sufficient demand?
