Samsung T7 Shield Overview

Ideal for outdoor use, the Samsung 4TB T7 Shield Portable SSD features a rubber protected exterior and an IP65 rating, providing content creators with both performance and durability. The rugged design and advanced outer elastomer protect it from drops while still being lightweight and portable. Moreover, the T7 Shield offers users quick performance and little downtime with read and write speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and 1,000 MB/s respectively. Its USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port provides wide compatibility.
Fast Performance, Strong Security
The T7 Shield delivers a max read speed of 1,050 MB/s and a max write speed of 1,000 MB/s through its USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. It is approximately twice as fast as its predecessor, the T5, and up to 9.5 times faster than a traditional external hard disk drive. The T7 Shield supports 256-bit AES hardware encryption to keep the data safe and secure, even if the T7 Shield is lost. Plus, it provides access to Samsung's Magician Software, which lets users conveniently manage the drive.
IP65-Rated Durability
Carefully engineered by Samsung from the inside out, the T7 Shield is shock-resistant from drops of up to 9.8 feet. It also has an IP65 rating, providing dust and water resistance. The high-tech rubber exterior with Dynamic Thermal Guard controls heat to maintain steady performance even for large projects. The stylish rubberized grip prevents slips. Even though it has a rugged design, the T7 Shield is still compact and lightweight, weighing just 3.5 ounces.
Wide Compatibility, Including Galaxy and iPhone

Can you recommend USB-C cable brands that fit the T7 Shield? Most that I have tried fit loosely and disconnect intermittently.
Asked by: George
Thanks but the Belkin BoostCharge cable is USB 2.0 with <480 MB/s data transfer rate. The T7 Shield is USB 3.2 Gen 2, with <10 GB/s data transfer rate, 20 times higher than the Belking cable would support. After a few months of very light use, none of the many USB-C cables I have tried, except the one foot long cable that came with the T7 Shield, will stay securely in the T7 Shield USB port. Do you have any other suggestions for a 3- or 6-foot USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 cable that fits more tightly and won't disconnect intermittently from the T7 Shield?
