Babs:

Both the T7 and T7 Shield have the same USB interface, maximum sequential reading and maximum sequential writing speeds.  They both have the same security with password protection; support the Samsung Portable SSD Software and Samsung Magician Software and use AES 256-bit hardware encryption.

The main visible difference between the two drives is that the T7 Shield is the only one to offer any protection against dust and water.

With an IP65 rating, the Shield version is fully dust tight in addition to being able to be submerged underwater at a maximum depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.

The T7 offers a drop resistance of up to 2 meters while the T7 Shield offers a drop resistance of up to 3 meters.

I believe the shield version just has extra protective rubber around it. It may also have a higher dust and water protection rating, but I'm not 100% sure about that. The best way to check, though, is to read the product specs and descriptions when you compare.
