Samsung T7 Shield 2TB Portable SSD (Black)

The Samsung T7 Shield 2TB Portable SSD (Black) is a rugged external SSD designed for photographers, videographers, gamers and mobile professionals who need to move large files between locations without babying their drive. It carries Samsung model number MU-PE2T0S/WW and ships in a Black finish with a grippy outer coating. On the performance side, the T7 Shield connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) using a USB-C port and is rated by Samsung for sequential reads of up to 1,050 MB/s and writes of up to 1,000 MB/s. That is fast enough to offload a card full of 4K footage, run Lightroom catalogues directly off the drive, or use it as a scratch disk for video projects. Actual speeds will depend on the host port, cable and source media. Durability is the headline feature of the Shield line. This unit is IP65-rated for dust and water resistance, meaning the housing is designed to keep out dust ingress and withstand low-pressure water jets. The 2TB capacity gives plenty of room for raw video, game libraries, design assets or full system backups.
