The Samsung T7 Shield 1TB Portable SSD delivers sequential read speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s inside an IP65-rated rugged exterior built to withstand dust, water, and drops of up to 3 metres. This high-performance external drive offers reliable data storage for creative professionals and outdoor enthusiasts who need to transfer large files in unpredictable environments.

Built to endure harsh outdoor environments

Constructed with a high-tech elastomer outer shell, this black portable drive absorbs physical impacts while maintaining a secure grip in your hand. The IP65 rating certifies that the chassis is completely dust-tight and resistant to low-pressure water jets from any angle. Whether you are working in a dusty desert or a damp rainforest, your data remains protected. The physical structure is engineered to withstand drops of up to 3 metres, safeguarding your files from accidental slips during transit or on-set handling. Measuring just 88 x 59 x 13 mm and weighing a mere 98 g, it slips easily into a pocket or gear bag without adding unnecessary bulk to your travel kit.

Sustained USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds for large file transfers

Leveraging the USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) interface, this drive achieves sequential read speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s. These transfer rates enable you to edit high-resolution 4K video footage directly from the drive or offload hours of RAW photographs in seconds. The drive supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) mode to optimise data transfer efficiency on compatible operating systems. To maintain consistent performance during sustained write operations, the elastomer casing and internal thermal design manage heat dissipation, ensuring safe operating temperatures between 0°C and 60°C, while withstanding non-operating storage temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.

Hardware-grade security and multi-device connectivity

Data security is integrated directly into the hardware with AES 256-bit encryption, protecting your sensitive files from unauthorised access if the drive is lost or stolen. You can configure optional password protection using the Samsung Portable SSD Software 1.0. For advanced drive management, the Samsung Magician Software allows you to monitor drive health, check operating temperatures, update firmware, and verify performance metrics over time.

Complete out-of-the-box connectivity and warranty protection

The SSD comes ready for deployment with both a USB Type-C to C cable and a USB Type-C to A cable included in the box, ensuring compatibility with legacy systems as well as modern Type-C devices. A 3-year limited warranty provides long-term assurance for professional workflows.
