In the world of portable storage, compatibility is king, and the T7 Shield is highly compatible due to keeping its operational power draw within USB specs. This is where many portable SSDs fail in the compatibility department, and they need more power tha...
Fast 10Gbps storage, Rugged outer skin for IP65 rating, Up to 2TB in capacity
No 20Gbps, Not full immersion rated
Faster than its Touch predecessor, the T7 Shield is also more rugged. It lacks fingerprint scanning, but is otherwise a faster, more durable external SSD...

Blazing speed, Light and portable, AES-256 hardware encryption, IP65 dust and water resistance
Can get a little hot, More expensive than base T7
Yes, if you need the extra dust, water, and drop protection. For most people, I'd recommend going with a base T7 instead. It's cheaper, it doesn't get as hot, and although it's not water and dust resistant, it can still withstand a few falls. Editors' Rec...
