Maybe 2025 will be your “organization” year, especially when it comes to all the digital files that live on your computer or even a collection of small thumb drives. It’s time to consolidate all your photos, videos, and more into one big, reliable USB drive that’s compatible with all your devices — the Samsung T7 Shield SSD, which Amazon has reduced the price by 45%.
The best part of the Samsung T7 Shield, however, is not the large capacity, incredible file transfer speed, or compact size for easy portability. It’s rugged design will stand up to dust and water and has a drop resistance of nearly 10 feet, making it the ideal companion for travel or creative work in outdoor locations.
Perfect for Photo and Video Shoots
Content creators know that doing outdoor shoots presents many potential risks, from bad weather to accidentally dropping equipment. Another challenge is finding an external solid-state drive large enough to carry large files and fast enough to write directly from a professional-quality still or video camera, while being small yet to be easily transported.
The Samsung T7 Shield SSD is a favorite among professional photographers and videographers because it checks all the boxes. It’s available in 1, 2, and 4TB capacities, and the USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection allows sequential read-write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB per second, so those high-def videos and burst photography shoots can be written directly to and edited on the drive. And despite all the speed and power packed into an ultra-compact body that measures just 3.4 x 2.2 x 0.5 inches and weighs just 3.4 ounces, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology prevents to drive from overheating and cooking your valuable content.
Tough and Versatile
We also like the almost universal compatibility of the Samsung T7 Shield SSD. It comes with USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables, and it can serve as a backup drive or extra storage for Mac and PC laptops and desktops , Android devices, game consoles, iPads and iPhones, and more. It’s USB 3.2 but can work retroactively with USB 2.0 devices.
The T7 Shield’s calling card, however, is its ability to lick and keep ticking. The exterior is covered with a rubberized grip material to help you prevent dropping it, but if it slips from your hand, the 10-foot drop resistance is there to save your data. The drive is built with IP65 rated dust and water resistance, and the built-in Samsung Magician Software lets you monitor the drive’s health and automatically download and install firmware updates.
Amazon’s 45% price reduction on the 2TB version of the Samsung T7 Shield SSD brings the price to over $158which makes it an incredible deal on a large, durable, and versatile external hard drive to help you get organized.
