• A:Answer Did you mistype? I highly doubt any drive is "suckable". If you mean "stackable" I am not sure, but would encourage some measure of air circulation. Heat is the enemy of most electronics.

Q: QuestionLooking for hard drive to load pictures from chrome book, can I use this and how many photos would it hold?

Asked 2 years ago by su.

This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - T7 Shield 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Rugged SSD IP65 Water Resistant - Blue

• A:Answer Your Chromebook should be able to mount the drive, as long as you don't format it NTSF or some weird format. The exFAT file system should be fine on Chromebook. As for how many photos it would hold, that would really depend on the file format (RAW or JPEG) and the resolution of your camera.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between the Samsung SSD S7 and the shield version? Just that the shield is more rugged?

Asked 1 year ago by Babs.

This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - T7 Shield 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Rugged SSD IP65 Water Resistant - Black

• A:Answer 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. - Samsung Memory

Q: QuestionDoes this include backup software?

Asked 2 years ago by GrandpaM.

• A:Answer Not that I am aware of. Nothing came in the box except a “book” in a 100 languages of how to install. Probably something online. If you are looking to back up your system or certain files find the drive either “D” or “E” depending on the number of drives in your computer and direct them to save on it. May I suggest making a separate folder in it “the SSD” to make finding suck files easier in the future.
