Samsung T7 Shield review

 

Two years after the T7 was launched Samsung delivers a more resilient design but doesn't make it any faster

Resistant to dust, rain and drops ; Hardware encryption ; Both USB cables included

No performance increase ; Only 1- or 2TB

Other than its ability to handle harsher treatment, there seem to be few obvious improvements over the original T7 design. That Samsung made it more robust but kept the same warrant period tells a story.

SAMSUNG T7 Touch Review

 

We're storing more files than ever before, so the importance of the security of those files must also increase, right? Well, SAMSUNG have implemented a pretty nifty feature on their latest external S...

+ Incredibly fast + Simple, solid security + Beautiful design + Intuitive, easy to use software + Nothing’s quite as simple as a fingerprint

- Wasteful packaging

Having fast access to your data is one thing, but keeping it secure at the same time is another challenge altogether. Add in the requirement of the device being small and sleek and easy to use and the equation just continues to get more complex....

Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield Review

 

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, if on the slow side compared to non-rugged SSDs.
