Samsung’s 2TB Shield T7 portable, armoured SSD has dropped to £148 on Amazon. That’s a solid £40 off, butSamsung are also offering cashbackfor the same amount, dropping the price to £108 after all is said and done. That’s an awesome price for a high-speed external SSD capable of read speeds of 1050MB/s and write speeds of 1000MB/s - and one that ranks among the fastest portable SSDs we’ve ever tested.
Get the Samsung T7 Shield 2TB for £148 (was £188)
We’ve covered theSamsung T7 Touch SSDbefore now, which offers similar internals plus a fingerprint reader. We found the latter a bit of a fuss, to be honest, so to get the SSD instead with an armoured exterior makes a lot of sense - especially as the Shield is both faster and cheaper.
The Samsung T7 Shield hasn’t gotten the full RPS review treatment, but we have named the Shieldthe best rugged external SSD for gaming, with hardware editor James pointing to the drive’s rubbery exterior and IP65 water/dust resistance as great reasons to pick the T7 Shield if you reckon your drive will be sitting in the bottom of a backpack or some other not-100%-safe environment most of the time. The drive is also convenient to use, with both USB-A and USB-C cables provided; often you only get one or the other!
It’s worth noting that James' recommendation was based on a price for the1TB modelbeing £125, so to get the2TB modelfor even less money represents quite the steal.
