Imo either size is ok, but get the 2TB version just for the extra space. I had a black Samsung T7 and installed games directly too it and it was fine, connected via C to C

Nowadays with BIG games, 1TB is awfully small. It's full in no time, so take an 2TB is an no-brainer. In your case i would buy an USB3.2 external housing and put in an NVMe SSD from 4TB.
With the small prices for this now, you also ready for future games. For example an Crucial P3 NVMe SSD. With an external housing you have more freedom and you can swap out the SSD when it's full for another spare one. Then you have one SSD with games and another for regular data.

"Good for games?"
You can use it as "game drive", sure, but tell us more about your gaming PC.
Technically you can use this for games, then I would recommend the 2TB version.
But depending your current rig, you might better off with a regular m.2 drive.

there is only 1 for my usb type c port, and its has been used for another device, so maybe i will connected into another usb 3.2

today, my budget its very tight, so i cant buy another 2tb/4tb ssd portable.

maybe.... cyberpunk 2077, total warhammer 2, or starfield, perhaps.

why not just get a cheap lower end sata drive with 2TB instead?
i have a T7. it's not any faster than a SATA Drive except of having a read speed of ~800MB/s.

Cyberpunk 70GB
TWH2 60GB
Starfield 125GB
All of those above should take about one quarter of a TB.
But I was asking about your current hardware setup.

You could also take a cheap QVO Samsung SSD from 4TB, fast enough and lot's of space available for now and future. With an cheap USB 3.2 external SATA housing. It will be even cheaper then the option you choose now, and have double the space!

i have found, another cheap SSD portable 2TB as the same price as samsung T7 shield 1TB in my country......

some people in that YT channel, has said, that....

Have been using it for more than 1 month.
If you ask whether it's hot or not, THIS IS HOT

Speed on USB 3.0 440MB
Speed on TYPE C 510MB

I use it every day, for design & video editing work. I put all my data on an SSD, plugged it in at the office during the day for work from 9-5 pm. Go home and plug in the PC at 7-11 pm. So far there are still no problems.

The suggestion is still to back up the hard disk, we don't know when the SSD will die from overheating, especially if there is no cooling system.

Warranty : 3 years one to one replacement

............what do u think, guys ??

No idea, it's not being sold here...

SPDIF · Oct 5, 2023

Neither here, never heard of it. The only one i know that's fast is Sandisk USB stick. For games an USB stick... I have my doubts about that. It's not an SSD remember that. I would not rely on an USB stick for daily use... It's not meant to be used as an SDD, it's pure for backup solutions. It will wear out much faster too.
