What you’ll notice day to day

With USB 3.2 Gen.2, the drive offers read speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and write speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s. That makes transferring and accessing files quicker than with a conventional external hard drive, Samsung states speeds of up to 9.5 times faster than external hard drives.

Usage tips

Choose the supplied USB cable that matches the port on the device you want to connect: Type-C to Type-C or Type-C to Type-A. The drive is listed as compatible with PCs, Macs, Android devices, Smart TVs and gaming consoles, so it can serve as portable storage across a range of everyday setups.

For private files, password protection works with AES 256-bit hardware encryption. This gives you a way to secure the data stored on the drive, particularly useful when carrying work or personal files between locations. The protective rating and rubber housing also suit mobile use, whether the SSD is travelling in a bag or being used away from your usual workspace.

When it makes sense

The T7 Shield is a strong fit when you want portable storage with faster stated transfer speeds than a traditional external hard drive, plus added protection for travel. For example, you could carry project files between a home computer and another compatible device, using the appropriate supplied cable and password protection for sensitive data.
