IP65-Rated Durability
The T7 Shield is Samsung’s most durable PSSD to date, making it ideal for outdoor content creators or travelers who need data-rich experience without having to worry about data loss from exposure to the elements or life’s mishaps. Carefully engineered by Samsung from the inside out, the T7 Shield is shock-resistant from drops of up to three meters,2 while being IP65-certified as dustproof and water resistant.3 Despite the new rugged design, the T7 Shield is compact and lightweight, weighing a mere 98 grams.
Exceptional Performance
The T7 Shield delivers a read speed of 1,050 megabytes per second (MB/s) and a write speed of 1,000 MB/s,4 which are the fastest transfer speeds currently available based on the USB 3.2 Gen2 standard.5 It is approximately twice as fast as its predecessor, the T5, and up to 9.5 times faster than external hard disk drives (HDDs),6 saving consumers, digital creators and professionals valuable time.
Samsung has also optimized the inside and outside of the product, by
changing the surface material and improving the software in the T7
Shield, to solve the performance degradation and overheating that occur
when transferring large files. Due to this change, there is no

heat generation is minimized, which help solve the inconvenience that
consumers may experience. Through this, it is possible to transmit data
stably without performance drop,7 even when performing
data-heavy, continuous tasks such as high-quality video recording,
editing, encoding and rendering. This alleviates concerns over
inconsistent drive performance.
