Introduction

The T7 Shield Portable Solid-State Drive (PSSD) brings together both the exceptional

performance photographers and videographers crave, and the durability that life demands.

Intelligently designed from the inside out by Samsung, the lightweight and pocket-sized T7

Shield gives consumers and professional content creators the confidence to store data on-

the-go knowing that their data is protected even if the device is dropped, exposed to water

or dust, or carried in desert heat. It is the latest addition to the popular Samsung Portable

SSD T-series and comes with Samsung software for added security, as well as access to

Samsung’s unique Magician management software suite.

Professional Grade Performance and Great Capacity

Samsung’s Portable SSD T7 Shield uses the NVMe

protocol to take full advantage of the

USB 3.2 Gen2 interface, offering maximum bandwidth of up to 10Gbps. T7 Shield’s

exceptional performance helps make transferring photos and video fast and easy, offering

read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000MB/s

respectively, which is more than 1.9 times

faster than current SATA-based portable SSDs and more than 9.5 times faster than external

HDDs

. The T7 Shield is also uniquely optimized to provide outstanding sustained read

and write performance, even as the drive fills up, supporting heavy, continuous tasks such

as high quality video recording, editing, and encoding, and helping to alleviate concerns

over video rendering or quality that may be caused by inconsistent performance. The T7

Shield will be available in 1TB, 2TB and 4TB capacities, enabling users to store hours of 8K

video and thousands of next-generation photos.

Based on internal test results

Designed for Durability – Dust, Water and Drop Resistance

For years, Samsung’s Portable SSD T-series were renowned for being compact, tru

stworthy and easy to use on the go. Samsung is now adding outstanding durabilit

y to its Portable SSD portfolio with its T7 Shield. The new product is built with

a strong aluminum body and covered with rubber for toughness. The aluminum a

dds the robustness and excellent heat dissipation due to high thermal conductivit

y. The tough rubber coating makes the device easy to grip and helps to protect a

gainst scratches or stains, and withstand external shocks. For added protection, Sa

msung also integrated two barriers surrounding the USB-connector port to help bl

ock out water and dust. The T7 Shield has obtained the IP65

certification from a

n internationally accredited certification lab

and has passed internal tests

involvi

ng drops from up to three meters (9.8 feet). With this durable design, users can t

ake their T7 Shield on an outdoor photo shoot or travel adventure without worry

ing about damage from the natural environment or sheer bad luck.

IP Rating refers to IP Code or Ingress Protection Code which is defined in IEC 60529 and rates the degree o

f protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against dust and water.

The certification of the IP rate (KCTL) is effective in countries and accreditation organizations that are me

mbers of the ILAC. (104 countries)

If the T7 Shield has been immersed in water, dry it thoroughly before u

sing it. Damage caused by liquid and dust are not covered under warranty.

The internal free fall shock test was conducted under controlled conditions.

System Requirements

1. USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Interface Support

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a serial input/output interface standard for connecting

various devices. T7 Shield’s data transfer speed is optimal with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10

Gbps) and using lower versions such as USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), USB 2.0 and 1.1 may

result in lower performances due to interface limitations inherent in such lower

versions.

* Performance may vary depending on user’s system to which the T7 Shield is connected. Since the T7

Shield’s performance may be suboptimal if your system does not support UASP (USB Attached SCSI

Protocol) even when using USB 3.2 Gen 2 connections, please make sure that your system supports

UASP.

2. Operating System Requirements

• Windows OS: Windows 7 or higher

• Mac OS: Mac OS X 10.10 or higher

• Android: Android Lollipop or higher

* The 4TB version of the T7 Shield is only compatible with a 64-bit OS.
