Q: Can you use a backup program with the Samsung T7 Shield. I read you can't. If I can't the two Samsung T7 Shields drives I bought won't work for me. What a waste of money! I wish it would have said this on the packaging! I know I can transfer files.

A: What you state isn't on the package because it isn't true. Having said that I think you are misinterpreting some online info in that Samsung does not provide any backup software on the drive. There are plenty of 3rd party backup software programs that work well with the T7 Shield and other "T" series drive by Samsung. You can even use a simple batch file should you desire.

    The Little Tank of SSDs

    This thing looks and feels like it could survive the apocalypse. The soft, rubbery shell isn’t just for looks — it gives you that “I can drop it and it’ll be fine” confidence. Samsung says it can handle a 3-meter drop and shrug off dust and water (IP65), and honestly, I believe them. I’ve already tossed it into my backpack with keys and a water bottle — no scratches, no drama. Performance? Blazing. We’re talking around 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write speeds. Big video files? Massive photo dumps? Whole game libraries? Done in minutes. After years of waiting on slow external drives, this feels like cheating. It doesn’t get uncomfortably hot, even after moving gigabytes of data, and it plays nice with everything I’ve thrown at it — my laptop, my phone, even my PlayStation. Zero setup, zero stress. Verdict: If you want something small, ridiculously fast, and tough enough to take on the road (or survive your desk coffee disasters), the T7 Shield is worth every penny.

Not only is it waterproof with an IP65 rating, but it also boasts incredibly fast data transfer speeds. The rugged design gives me peace of mind knowing that my data is protected even in tough conditions. Overall, I highly recommend the Samsung T7 Shield for anyone in need of a durable and reliable external storage solution.
