Samsung T5 and T7 external SSDs are great for extra storage and relatively affordable compared to build-in storage. Let’s check out the new Samsung T7 Shield today. The new beige color matches the new M2 MacBook Air starlight color! It is more rugged with a stronger rubbery shell but is it faster also?

Thank you very much for this comparison. I think I'll go for the Shield version considering that at this moment there is only a 5 USD difference between these two versions and the Shield seems to be noticeably faster.

@tinetannies4637 Год назад

Does the T7 remain faster over extended use because it appears to have better heat dissipation?

@maryajaniak2896 8 месяцев назад

I think the reads and writes will be fine. I remember years ago when I was on a dial up internet and downloading was terrible at 56 whatever the technology was then was awfully slow. Today I have a very fast internet and things download very fast so I appreciate technology. Like the portability of the SSDs. I had 5k photos on a windows drive and something got me, even though I had Norton 360 and Malware Bytes that I was paying extra for, and lost all of it and couldn't get it back. Even though I've never lost anything with Google, I'm going to keep all my photos on the SSD so that never happens to me again. I had a Dell Desktop at that time. I also have the 2020 MacBook Air with M1 chip but I haven't put any photos on that one yet. Thank you for your comparison it was very informative. I ordered the Samsung T7 Touch from Samsung directly. When it's new, I don't have to format it as it is in ex-FAT format already isn't it?

@ahdlkasdjfhalsdkj 7 месяцев назад

@MustangTogunner Год назад

I prefer the regular T7 because in Vancouver the humidity makes any rubber grip turn sticky so I choose scratches over sticky device

@priyankabhineet2715 Год назад

What if same humidity cause inner t7 to rust, since it's not IP rated😝

@whengrapespop5728 Год назад

The T7 Shield is water resistant, and the humidity won’t sleep in. I’d say that outweighs a little bit of friction on your SSD.

@cristianhaivaz Год назад

do the acasis enclosure compared to the T7 Shield improve your editing workflow or not really? Because i heard that you won't see any difference between a ssd like T7 and an enclosure in the editing. Only real advantage is the fact that you can transfer files faster but outside from this you won't see any timeline, export speed improvement, is it true?

Isn't the (red) T7 slower just because you didn't get to TRIM free space (since you used it for some time now), while the T7 Shield is brand new (so most free space is already trimmed)?

@whengrapespop5728 Год назад

I believe the T7 Shield generally seems a tiny bit faster in every review out there.

@TanuGupta2112 Год назад

Which color do you recommend both in terms of looks and low maintenance - beige or black?

@Tech4Baba Год назад

Thanks for watching and asking, Tanu! While I like how the beige matches the new starlight M2 MBA, I think the darker colors (blue and black) are easier to maintain. Let me know which one you end up deciding on.

My computer wont recognize my samsung t7 shield drive. Honestly pretty pissed, i cant find any thing online that has my exact issue and tech support just straight up didnt know how to help and told me to try it on another computer and ended the chat. My issue is my computer makes the dinging noise like a drive is plugged in but doesnt show up in the drive section, and the only place i can find the drive is in the devices and printers section in the control panel and the device manager but no where i can actually open the drive to get the footage off. Anyone know how to access it or at least any ideas? 🙏

@omarasal2213 Год назад

@wendymotogirl Год назад

I just use BitLocker.

@lw7108 11 месяцев назад

It can't because there is no Samsung Magician for MacOS. There is a (mostly) single purpose standalone MacOS app for locking/unlocking by password. In locked mode, the drive shows a read-only partition including that "Samsung Portable SSD" app for unlocking.

@pressrepeat2000 Год назад

Not sure why the Shield is actually 15% or so cheaper in many places than the base T7. Maybe the rubber coating is actually cheaper to make? It’s weird, especially as your test shows the Shield being a bit faster.

Hi, I've been confused about getting a 2tb or 4tb version. 4tb is obviously more expensive and I'll buy it only if I need it. I've purchased a new go pro and want to edit sports videos and vlogs. Total footage would be around 2-3 hours in total or more but edited final footage would not be more than 12-18 minutes. Should I go for 2tb, will it be enough to edit a whole video?

@leninjesus1998 Год назад

Please try with t7 touch

@Tech4Baba Год назад

Thanks for watching, Lennin! Will look into the T7 Touch. My guess is it will work similar to the T7.

@angrydragonkungfu9164 10 дней назад

Eventually all that rubber on the shield is going to break down and get sticky. The reg T7 will always be nice. The T9’s rubber will get sticky too. So seems like in the long run the reg T7 is the best choice and it’s cheaper.

@enyayannidido Год назад

Is it fair a comparison, being the T7 is not new like the T7 shield?

That might be because most video editing is done on Macs. External drive usage is common for that. With that said, I use Samsung drives (T3, T5, T7, T7 Shield) for both Apple Macs and Windows machines. Was recently going to grab a SanDisk but scared away by reports of recent issues with their drives. Never have had a problem with my Samsung drives!
