The massive capacity Samsung T7 Shield portable hard drive is nearly 50% off at Amazon
Maybe 2025 is your “organized” year, especially when it comes to all the digital files that reside on your computer or even in a collection of small flash drives. It’s time to consolidate all those photos, videos and more into one huge, reliable USB drive that’s compatible with all your devices — The Samsung T7 Shield SSD that Amazon just slashed by 45%.
However, the best feature of the Samsung T7 Shield is not its huge capacity, exceptional file transfer speed or compact size for easy portability. It’s rugged design is dust and water resistant and has a drop resistance of almost 10 feet, making it an ideal companion for travel or outdoor creative work.
Perfect for photos and videos
Content creators know that shooting outdoors comes with a host of potential dangers, from bad weather to accidentally dropping equipment. Another challenge is finding an external SSD drive that is large enough to transfer huge files and fast enough to record directly from a pro-quality camera or camcorder, while being small enough to be easily transported.
The Samsung T7 Shield SSD is a favorite of professional photographers and videographers because it ticks all those boxes. Available in 1, 2 and 4TB capacities, the USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection enables sequential read and write speeds of up to 1050/1000 MB per second, so those high definition videos and burst photos can be recorded directly on and edited on the device. And even with all that speed and power packed into an ultra-compact body that measures just 3.4 x 2.2 x 0.5 inches and weighs 3.4 ounces, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology keeps the device from overheating and cooking of your valuable content.
Sturdy and multi-functional
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 can serve as a backup device or added storage for both Mac and PC laptops and desktops, Android devices, game consoles, iPad and iPhone etc. It’s USB 3.2, but can work backwards with USB 2.0 devices.
The T7 Shield’s calling card, however, is its ability to lick itself and keep ticking. The exterior is covered in a rubberized grip material to help you not drop it, but if it does slip out of your hand, the 10-foot drop resistance is there to keep your data safe. The device is built with IP65 rated dust and water resistance, and the built-in Samsung Magician software allows you to monitor the health of the device and automatically download and install firmware updates.
Amazon’s 45% price drop on the 2TB version of the Samsung T7 Shield SSD drops the price to just over $158making it a great deal for a large, rugged, and versatile external hard drive to help you get organized.
