- A: AnswerWhat 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.

Q: QuestionCan I use this for Z Cam as onboard storage?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes, the Samsung T7 Shield SSD can be used as onboard storage for a Z Cam. Its rugged design and high-speed data transfer (up to 1050MB/s) make it a great choice for video recording. Ensure the drive is formatted as exFAT or another format supported by Z Cam for seamless recording and playback.Answered by Luffy
- A: AnswerMatt: 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

A: AnswerGuy: The T7 Shield is successfully recognized and able to transfer data on iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, to use with an iPhone 13, you'll need a Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter to connect the SSD to your iPhone. - Samsung MemoryAnswered by Samsung

Excellent travel storage
This drive is excellent for travel storage. It is very small - only a few times larger than a jump drive. It is very rugged, and well protected from the elements - making it great for the outdoors. I have the 1TB model, which comes already formatted as exFAT and ready for use for both Android and Windows. I am using it to store a lot of movies in mp4 ranging in size from 3GB to 30GB. I uploaded them through a USB 3.0 port on my tower. The speed is good, as can be seen in the test results below. The drive did get warm while putting almost 900GB onto the drive, but never exceeded 45deg C. It did this big job without a hitch!

Fantastic!
This is a fantastic product! I was skeptical at first but found that 1 TB is more than what I needed for what I do! As a music producer I wanted to limit the amount of vsts and plugins I put natively on my MacBook and this has saved at least 100GB of storage on my computer. The best part about it is that you can encrypt it. This requires that you install the software that works wonderfully on MacOS. It’s definitely a greater sense of peace felt knowing that if it’s stolen the only way to access the information is by entering a password or taking it out by dismantling the product and bypassing encryption(I doubt anyone would go through this unless you’re the president)! Overall a great product and well worth the price as SSD is safer than HDD. I definitely wish I was able to get 2TB for future use but I doubt I’ll need it anytime soon! If you’re looking for a small yet affordable ssd this is definitely a great purchase and an overall great investment! If you are clumsy like me definitely check out the T7 shield! An added bonus is that the product comes with usb c and a cords! My only problem was trying to figure out how to properly install the software but after checking Samsung’s website it was made more clear than the instructions that come in box! If you’re not used to installing 3rd party software on MacOS there are plenty of YouTube videos entailing how!
