Samsung T7 Shield MU-PE1T0S 1 TB

A fast, tidy, modern, and securely protected portable professional-grade SSD with a substantial storage capacity of 1 terabyte. It is positioned by the manufacturer as an industrial standard that can be equally relied upon by professional videographers and directors. One of the main figures in the ad campaign is Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design. The Samsung T7 Shield's frame is wrapped in high-tech armor, under which lies an additional heat-absorbing material designed to reduce the load on the control controller.

The company claims that the SSD undergoes rigorous durability testing, resulting in certification to the military-industrial standard MIL-STD-810H and has a relatively high IP65 dust and water resistance rating. This means, in theory, it can withstand even brief immersion in a pool without data loss. For data transfer, it is equipped with a dual-sided USB connector with a 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface, simplifying connection to most modern portable and stationary equipment.

The manufacturer states a sequential read/write speed of 1050/1000 MB/s, which should be enough to work directly on projects in Ableton or film video in 12K on a Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro camera. Besides the Windows platform, the manufacturer promises full compatibility with various mobile and stationary gadgets running MacOS, iOS, and Android operating systems. The only condition is the support of the corresponding version of the USB interface and the use of an up-to-date cable. The manufacturer particularly emphasizes the latter factor, as some users were dissatisfied with the drive's speed because they used questionable quality cables from unknown manufacturers.
