For storage, Samsung's position in the industry is beyond doubt. Samsung Storage has a complete industrial chain of software and hardware, and its product quality is reliable and stable. It is one of the few original factories on the market at present.

Previously, Samsung launched Samsung T7 Shield, the first high-performance portable solid-state drive with anti-fall, dustproof and waterproof, which can meet the high requirements of users in more demanding environments. Recently, Samsung launched a large-capacity T7 shield version of 4TB-ultrasound, which has a large storage space and allows users to save more important data. At the same time, the current price in JD.COM is only 2,399 yuan, which is very good value. Users who need large-capacity mobile external hard disks can consider starting a wave.

Today, we got the T4 TB version of T7 Shield 4TB mobile solid state drive. After the author's actual evaluation, the performance of this hard disk is really commendable, which is very suitable for ordinary consumers, high-end content creators and outdoor photographers. Let's share with you the specific actual performance of this mobile solid state drive.

Upgrade the packaging, the key information is clear at a glance.

The packaging of Samsung T7 shield 4TB version is newly upgraded, which is more cool and full of science and technology. At the same time, the product renderings on the front of the package are full of texture.

There is also key information about the hard disk on the package. For example, this hard disk supports IP65 dustproof and waterproof, and also supports 3 meters falling without damage.

There is a "T7 Shield" logo on the back of the hard disk, and there are no other characters' logos after that, which also maintains a simple design style.

On the top of the hard disk is the Type-C interface, and on the left is the work indicator light, which will flash blue when the device is connected. In addition, this hard disk also supports the NVMe protocol, and the sequential reading performance reaches 1050MB/S, and the performance reaches the upper limit of the Type-C 10Gbps interface, with excellent performance.

High Performance of 4TB Large Capacity NVMe Protocol 1050MB/S

The bottom of Samsung T7 Shield 4TB mobile SSD is no different from the previous T7 Shield, but the "4TB”logo in the upper right corner makes us different from the previous version. 4TB of ultra-large capacity, looking at the entire mobile solid-state hard disk industry, few can provide such a huge capacity for a single disk. For ordinary users, 4TB can store more than 100 3A masterpieces, and 4K video can last more than 3000 hours. Even if you put all the photos of a person's life on this hard disk, there is more than enough space.

Similarly, for professionals, more space brings more convenience. For content creators who often need to copy backup materials, the capacity of 4TB brings more operation space.

With the explosive growth of video content creators and the increasing popularity of 4K and 8K videos, long videos begin to occupy more and more storage space. Take high-definition long video at 60fps, the video of 1 minute will almost occupy the storage space of 1 GB, while the 22-minute 4K video needs the capacity space of 1 TB.

Therefore, for video content creators and movie collectors, large-capacity storage devices are particularly important. For gamers, the current game screen is comparable to the movie scene, and the open map design makes the whole game bigger and bigger, with hundreds of GB at every turn, so the 4TB large-capacity hard disk can meet more game storage needs of gamers, and the performance of 1050MB/S can also get faster game loading speed.

IP65 is dustproof and waterproof, and 3m is anti-falling.

As a dust-proof, water-proof and fall-proof mobile solid-state hard disk, Samsung T7 Shield supports IP65 dust-proof and water-proof, so that daily dust can't invade, and ordinary pressureless liquid won't damage the inside of the hard disk, even if it rains outside, it won't have any impact on Samsung T7 Shield. At the same time, this hard disk also supports 3 meters of anti-fall, in order to cope with daily falling from the desktop. If you accidentally slip from your bag or hand during running, it will have no effect on this product. It is more durable than you think. Basically, you can use this equipment in outdoor rain forest, desert wasteland and other harsh environments without any problems. It is very suitable for content creators who often need to work outdoors.

Actual performance test: the reading speed exceeds 1050MB/S, and the performance is excellent.

Before testing, let's take a look at this test platform. The processor is Intel's13rd generation Core i5- 12490F, the memory is DDR5 5600MHz 16g*2, the motherboard is MSI Z690 CARBON WIFI, and the system is Win 1 1 22H2 Professional Edition. Finally, the following test results are obtained.

CrystalDiskMark is a professional software, which is often used to test the actual performance of hard disk.
