Why choose it
Choose the 4TB T7 Shield for a large portable library on a compatible USB 3.2 Gen 2 host. It is rated for up to 1,050 MB/s reads and 1,000 MB/s writes; host configuration, cable and usage affect results.1 The drive supports hardware encryption and has a three-year limited warranty. Its three-meter drop rating comes from a controlled test; drop damage is excluded from warranty coverage.1
Before you buy
The T7 Shield uses a 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection. Choose a drive with a faster interface if your 20Gbps host port is the reason for upgrading.1
