None really but if you don't need rugged the T7 is a good option

Abstract: The latest member of Samsung's T7 line of external solid-state drives, the Portable SSD T7 Shield (starts at $159.99 for 1TB; $289.99 for 2TB as tested) raises the ante for ruggedness while maintaining the focus on data security seen in its predecessors...
Consistent write performance, Strong durability, Good support, including software and encryption, 2TB capacity option,
Does not bring much that's new to the table, Limited to 10Gbps
The Samsung T7 Shield is a durable and reliable portable SSD that would be at home in most environments. It's designed for content capture but is otherwise limiting for general usage, however...

Great durable design, Love the blue color, Fast NVMe SSD speeds, USB-C and USB-A cables included, Three options now in the T7 lineup, Samsung software included,
Rubber shell can attract lint, Can't be submerged,
I like the small Samsung SSD T7 Shield, it has a quirky design that looks great, and I even like the slightly off white/beige rubber. The USB Type-C connector is firm and secure and unlikely to become disconnected if you have to have the drive dangling fr...
Built-in 256-bit AES encryption and password protection, Super compact with shock-proof exterior, USB-C 3.2 (Gen 2) transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, Comes with multiple host cables, IP65 water and dust resistance
Only two capacities available, Weighs more than other T7 SSDs, Slightly larger than other T7 SSDs, More expensive than other T7 SSDs
You should buy this if. You need a rugged portable SSD that can withstand water, dust, and dropsYou want 256-bit AES encryption and password protectionYou're happy with a 1TB or 2TB capacityYou have a PC with USB-C 3.2 (Gen 2) or ThunderboltYou can spen...
Resistant to dust, rain and drops, Hardware encryption, Both USB cables included
No performance increase, Only 1- or 2TB
To be blunt, after two years of development, I expected more.Though I can't entirely blame Samsung as it's where USB technology currently resides, that's a part of the issue here. If Samsung wanted to offer a premium-priced model adding Gen 2x2 connectivi...
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...
Abstract: The Samsung T7 Shield is an external rugged SSD and is the third member of the T7 family, after the T7 and the T7 Touch launched in 2020; a long hiatus. The latter left a lasting impression on us because it brought a feature that was never available at th...

Performance, Physical size, Rubber protection,
4K performance is a little disappointing at low queue depths,
The latest addition to Samsung's long-running T* series of external SSDs is the T7 Shield. The Shield version of the T7 comes with a rubber covering for added protection. The drive uses a combination of an NVMe SSD and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) interface.S...
Small and lightweight, Super-fast read and write speeds, Rugged construction
No iOS support for file encryption, Pricier than standard Samsung T7 portable SSD,
Samsung's T7 Shield portable SSD is small, fast and tough, making it a good choice for working in the field. However, if you're only planning on using the drive indoors, the standard T7 will do essentially the same job for a lower price...
