Built for the elements

The T7 Shield is a 1TB portable SSD with an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 2 and uses PCIe NVMe technology to reach sequential speeds up to 1050 MBps read and 1000 MBps write. The beige enclosure measures 2.30 by 3.50 by .50 inches and weighs 3.50 oz.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 ceiling

The interface caps real-world throughput at the 10 Gbps lane, so sustained transfers will not exceed the stated 1050 MBps read and 1000 MBps write. Hosts limited to USB 3.2 Gen 1 or USB 2.0 will see proportionally lower performance. The drive requires Windows 7 or higher, Mac OS X 10.10 or higher, or Android Lollipop or higher.

Rugged palm-sized chassis

The IP65-rated shell protects the NVMe controller and NAND from splashes, rain and fine dust without a separate case. Its compact footprint slips into a shirt pocket or camera bag, and the integrated USB-C port removes the need for a detachable cable that can be lost in the field. Builders needing a second drive for RAID or users wanting capacities above 1TB must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1TB beige model or a higher capacity for my projects?

The 1TB capacity holds large project files and media libraries; if you need more space, the series offers 2TB and 4TB versions in the same rugged design.

What do the 1050 MBps read and 1000 MBps write speeds mean when I plug this into my laptop?

Those are maximum sequential rates over USB 3.2 Gen 2; real-world transfers of big video or photo batches will approach those numbers, while small files move more slowly.

How does the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface limit performance compared to the internal NVME drive?

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 link caps at 10 Gbps, so the internal NVME engine can run faster inside the enclosure but data leaves the drive at the interface ceiling.
