The Samsung Mobile SSD T7 Shield is built for content creators and mobile office users

Samsung's new mobile SSDs are only the size of a credit card and are drop-resistant, waterproof and dust-proof to deliver lightning-fast data transfer for content creation both indoors and outdoors; the T7 Shield maintains high performance when transferring large files, making it a good choice for HD video recording and editing

Seoul, South Korea --- April 26, 2022 --- Samsung Electronics today announced the launch of its new external storage device, --- the T7 Shield Mobile SSD, which is only the size of a credit card, durable, and delivers superior performance and reliability. The T7 Shield is a new addition to the Samsung T7 mobile SSD family, which includes the T7, a sleek-looking mobile SSD that offers excellent high-speed transfers, and the T7 Touch, a CES-winning mobile SSD with a built-in fingerprint sensor for enhanced data protection.

Kyu Young Lee, vice president of Samsung Electronics' Branded Storage Products Division, said, "Content makers and mobile workers need durable, high-performance, and reliable SSDs that guarantee that their data is protected even when they are dropped, exposed to water, or used outdoors." "The T7 Shield has broad compatibility, enabling users to use new SSDs on a variety of devices, such as PCs, Android smartphones, and game consoles."

IP65 rated durability

The T7 Shield is a rugged mobile SSD, making it a great choice for outdoor content creators or travelers who need the experience of mass storage without having to worry about data loss due to use in their natural environment or accidents. Samsung's meticulous design from the inside out makes the T7 Shield resistant to drop shocks of up to 3 meters, while passing the IP65 rating for dust and water resistance certification. Despite the new durable design, the T7 Shield is still small and lightweight, weighing only about 98 grams.

Excellent performance

The T7 Shield has a read speed of 1050MB/s and a write speed of 1000MB/s, which is the highest transfer speed for Samsung based on the USB 3.2 Gen2 standard. This speed is about 2 times faster than its Samsung T5 and 9.5 times faster than the Samsung External Mechanical Hard Drive HX-MTD10EA9), saving valuable time for users, content creators, and professionals.

Samsung has also optimized the interior and exterior of the product, avoiding performance degradation and overheating issues when transferring large files by changing the surface material and improving the T7 Shield's software. Thanks to this improvement, even if you transfer 2TB of files at once, you can maintain stable performance, and the heat generation is reduced to a low level, which helps to solve the inconvenience that users may encounter. Even when performing particularly large data volumes of continuous tasks, such as recording, editing, encoding, and rendering high-quality video, the product enables stable data transfer, alleviating concerns about unstable drive performance.

Broad compatibility and strong security

The Samsung T7 Shield runs on a wide range of devices, whether on PC, Mac, smartphone (Android) or game console, storing a large number of pictures, games, and 4K and 8K video. In addition, T7 Shield strengthens security through hardware encryption (*256-bit AES, Advanced Encryption Standard), so even if T7 Shield is lost, the user's data is protected. At the same time, it also provides access to Samsung Magician management software, allowing users to easily manage the drive.

Eco-friendly packaging

Like Samsung's other mobile SSD series, the T7 Shield uses one-third of its pallet packaging compared to Samsung's previous generations, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from its production process through production efficiency.

Available in Moonlight White, Dark Night, and Magic Blue, T7 Shield caters to users' different preferences, offering 1TB and 2TB storage specifications for a variety of use cases. The drive comes with a USB Type-C-to-C cable and a USB Type-C-to-A cable with a limited warranty of three years. The T7 Shield will go on sale in China in May.
