The latest in high-end durability and fast, sustained performance for creative professionals and consumers on the go.
In a demonstration of its leadership in storage and advanced memory technology, Samsung Electronics Australia today announced the availability of a range of new products to launch this month including the latest in external storage, the Portable Solid State Drive (PSSD). ) T7 Shield.
With incredible performance and reliability in a compact, durable size, the T7 Shield is the latest addition to Samsung’s family of portable SSDs that includes the T7, a daily driver that delivers incredibly fast speeds in a sleek design, and the T7 Touch.[1]a CES award-winning PSSD with an integrated fingerprint sensor for enhanced data protection.
“Creative professionals and consumers want durable, high-performance, reliable SSDs with the assurance that their data can be protected, even when dropped, exposed to fresh water, or used in the air. Phil Gaut, senior director of screen and brand memory at Samsung Electronics. Australia.
Gaut continued: “The T7 Shield also offers broad compatibility, enabling consumers to use the new SSD on a variety of compatible devices, including PCs, Android smartphones and game consoles.”
T7 shield: durability with IP65 rating and exceptional performance
The T7 Shield is Samsung’s longest-lasting PSSD to date, making it ideal for outdoor content creators or travelers who need powerful, generous data storage without having to worry about data being exposed. to the elements or setbacks of life. Carefully designed by Samsung from the inside out, the T7 Shield is shock resistant up to 3 meters.[2]although it is IP65 certified as dust and water resistant[3]. Despite the rugged new design, the T7 Shield is compact and lightweight, weighing just 98 grams.
The T7 Shield offers a read speed of up to 1,050 MB / s and a write speed of 1,000 MB / s[4]which are the fastest transfer speeds available today based on the USB 3.2 Gen2 standard[5]. It is about twice as fast as its predecessor, the T5, and up to 9.5 times faster than external hard drives (HDDs).[6]which can save valuable time for consumers, digital creators and professionals.
Samsung has also optimized the interior and exterior of the product, changing the surface material and improving the T7 Shield software. Due to this change, performance degradation is reduced even when 2 TB files are moved at a time, and heat generation is minimized, which helps to avoid inconvenience to the consumer experience. This technology allows data to be transmitted stably with little drop in performance[7], even when performing continuous and heavy data tasks, such as recording, editing, encoding, and rendering high-quality video. Therefore, the T7 Shield can alleviate concerns about inconsistent drive performance.
As part of today’s announcement, Samsung Electronics Australia has also confirmed the availability of its new microSD card, the Samsung PRO Endurance and its 256GB USB Type-C USB flash drive:
Samsung PRO Endurance
Designed exclusively to meet the stringent demands of surveillance cameras, dashboard cameras, doorbell cameras, body cameras and more, the new microSD PRO Endurance card offers enhanced endurance and performance for reliable continuous capture and playback.
Built with Samsung’s highly reliable enterprise-grade NAND flash memory, the PRO Endurance card can offer up to 16 years (140,160 hours)[8] of continuous recording time to ensure that every critical moment is captured. This means that a single PRO Endurance card can last up to 33 typical speed-focused cards[9]saving frequent replacement costs and providing greater reliability for permanent video monitoring.
The microSD PRO Endurance card offers read and write speeds of up to 100 MB / s and 40 MB / s[10]respectively, and has a class 10 rating with video speed ratings of up to U3 (UHS speed class 3) and V30 (video speed class 30)[11]. This makes it ideal for handling large, high-resolution files while enabling perfect recording and playback in Full HD and 4K.
