Rugged 1 TB external SSD for creators

The Samsung T7 Shield MU-PE1T0S/AM is a new portable solid-state drive with a 1 TB capacity and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. It delivers sequential reads up to 1050 MBps and writes up to 1000 MBps using embedded PCIe NVME technology. The drive carries an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance and weighs 3.50 oz in a black enclosure measuring 2.30 by 3.50 by .50 inches.

Suited for field work and console libraries

Photographers, videographers and content creators who move large files between Windows, Mac, Android devices or gaming consoles will benefit from the rugged build and high transfer speeds. Buyers who need more than 1 TB of capacity should consider other models. The drive requires a host with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port to reach the quoted performance figures.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface sets the speed ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection, which caps maximum throughput at the stated 1050 MBps read and 1000 MBps write rates. Systems limited to older USB standards will not achieve these speeds. Compatibility starts at Windows 7, Mac OS X 10.10 and Android Lollipop.
