    Just a quick word and something to keep in mind for the coming months. I work in the semiconductor industry, specifically in distribution. Right now, we are seeing the floor falling beneath the feet of the large memory mfg's for commercial products. Specifically, Samsung and Micron. As those are two of the largest in the world, they help set the market. What they do, everyone else follows. Currently, their spot market pricing is dropping 10, 20, sometimes as much as 50% on particular lines. This is for commercial memory chips, modules, flash memory, etc.
    It does not affect the industrial and automotive applications - this is primarily for everyday use memory. That means modules, SSD's and items that are memory intensive like handheld scanners or even video cards will see dramatic drops in pricing as it makes it's way through the market to the end users.

    You might be asking why this is happening and it is a few factors coming together at once. Suddenly soft demand from the OEM's that make consumer products that just use commercial memory. Inflation causing people to be more selective with purchases that are wants and not needs. Manufacturing finally catching up to demand in the supply chain but now that they can supply, the demand is drying up. Product makers not wanting to get stuck with rising inventory levels for chips so they are only buying as needed vs stocking up on inventory to make sure they have enough to finish production runs.

    TLDR: Just wait, if you can, because pricing should fall dramatically in the coming weeks and months.

    Then get the T5 Smilie I have two and there's nothing wrong with it. T7 sucked at prolonged writes but this Shield fixes that, see Tom's hardware review.

    I considered this but performance and warranty seems to favor the SanDisk Extreme v2.

    If physical durability is more important then this Shield may be the way to go. Also I like that it has an activity light.

    I actually bought the SD one just few hours ago using the $12.50 Amazon eGC promo from yesterday. The SD has been close to this price last year but T7 Shield is kinda new so ppl are used to SD being ~$180ish. For me, I might've bought the Shield if the 2TB was priced ~$185 at Amazon like BB since I kinda like the looks of T7 Smilie I have 3 x 1 TB SD Extreme (v1) from Walmart clearance so wanted a different look. Overall, both drives should perform comparably since Samsung made changes with the T7 Shield. Read Tom's hardware review for the T7 Shield since the SD Extreme V2 (1 TB only) is included in the benchmark comparisons. The site does review the 2TB version of the T7 but the benchmark includes SD Extreme Pro (2000 MB/s) for 2 TB and not Extreme V2.
