Samsung T7 Shield Spec and Price in the United States

USB2TB1050 MB/s read

Released April 26, 2022 · $289.99 MSRP

The T7 Shield matches the plain T7's 1,050/1,000 MB/s over the same USB 3.2 Gen 2 link and spends its extra bulk on protection instead: an IP65 rating against dust and water, and rated drop resistance of up to 3 m where the T7 is rated to 2 m and carries no ingress rating at all. The rubberised body measures 59 x 88 x 13 mm and weighs 98 grams, against 72 for the plain T7. It ships at 1TB, 2TB and 4TB with a three-year limited warranty, and arrived in April 2022 at a $289.99 MSRP for the 2TB.

Tied 84th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential read — 2 models share this figure.
