Matt: The Samsung T7 Shield is a rugged version of the T7 SSD, designed to offer extra protection against physical damage. It features a durable rubberized exterior that provides better resistance to drops, water, and dust. This makes it ideal for users who need a more robust portable SSD for outdoor or rough environments. On the other hand, SATA (Serial ATA) is an interface used for connecting storage devices like SSDs and hard drives to a computer. SATA SSDs are typically used internally in computers. In contrast, the T7 Shield uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, which allows for much higher transfer speeds, up to 1,050 MB/s. Regarding formatting, SATA SSDs can indeed be formatted to FAT32, which is a file system compatible with many operating systems and devices. However, FAT32 has limitations, such as a maximum file size of 4GB and a maximum partition size of 32GB. If you need to store larger files, you might consider using exFAT or NTFS instead. - Samsung Memory
