PROS
• Provides protection from rain, dust, and drops
• AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption
• Offers the raw speed of a USB 3.2 Gen 2 drive
• Comes in capacities up to 2TB
CONS
• Relatively short three-year warranty
• Not the fastest external SSD for everyday storage tasks
THE BOTTOM LINE
Samsung’s Portable SSD T7 Shield is an external solid-state drive that’s impervious to dust, rain, and tumbles. It’s a durable and secure choice for outdoor workers and travelers, though it’s on the slow side compared with non-rugged SSDs.
The latest member of Samsung's T7 line of external solid-state drives, the Portable SSD T7 Shield raises the ante for ruggedness while maintaining the focus on data security seen in its predecessors, the Samsung Portable SSD T7 and Portable SSD T7 Touch. The T7 Shield is more shockproof than the previous T7 drives, and unlike them is rated for dust and water resistance. It's a fine choice for travelers and outdoor workers who want a pocketable drive with good capacity that can stand up to the elements and won't cause users to lose sleep if it's lost or stolen.
