With the Touch, you get fingerprint security. Samsung’s toolbox for its external drives. I’m not saying to drop the T7 Shield in the pool, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it survived a short dive, as long as it’s not connected and active. Maybe Samsung is just a bit more conservative in its conclusions. Most cover the port with a captive socket, but not all. There’s no doubt that the Type-C port is the culprit for poor liquid resistance, although we’ve seen them on plenty of Bluetooth speakers with the same port that claim IP67. (7 would indicate that it is possible to survive immersion). The second number, 5, means you can spray it with water, but not submerge it. The first number, 6, means the T7 Shield can prevent just about any type of particle.

If you want to know the full IP address, read this article from yours truly on our sister post TechHive. The T7 Shield’s USB connector is Type-C and, aptly, Samsung includes both USB Type-A to Type-C and Type-C to Type-C cables.Īs for the IP rating, 65 is a bit unusual. I didn’t, although I dropped it about four feet onto a wooden floor with no ill effects. Indeed, I considered throwing it against a wall to test the impact resistance. The extra weight is inconsequential in terms of transportability and gives the T7 Shield a good heft. It’s a little heavier than the T7 Touch, but wrapped in a protective silicone sleeve, that’s hardly surprising. The drive measures 3.5 inches long by 2.3 inches wide by 0.5 inches thick and weighs just under four ounces. The T7 Shield is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities for $160 (AU$222) and $290 (AU$403) respectively, and you can buy them with protective blue, tan, or black silicone covers. We’re a little surprised the latest version didn’t opt for 20Gbps USB, although it’s true that such ports are fairly rare and will remain so until full USB4 implementations become the norm. The Samsung T7 Shield is a 10Gbps USB enclosure with an NVMe SSD inside. This is another premium USB drive from Samsung.

The latest iteration of the T7 series – the T7 Shield – is IP65 rated to withstand wet weather and offers added protection against shocks (although it’s true that shocks are more important for portable hard drives than for portable SSDs).
If you’ve had your eyes on Samsung’s speedy T7 Touch 10Gbps USB, but weren’t sure if it was suitable for your harsh environment, your puzzle is over.
