BH Photo loaned MPG the about $299 4TB Samsung T7 Shield Portable SSD SAMUPE4T0SA for testing. Direct-connect to the 2022 MacBook Pro M2 Max via Thunderbolt/USB 4 port. Tests via diglloydTools DiskTester.

MPG previously tested the OWC Elektron USB-C SSD on Intel Macs, but does it still perform as well two years later on the 2022 MacBook Pro M2 Max?

In short, it still delivers the goods, and outperforms the Samsung.
