Yep, you read that right. Sometimes, those pathetic little aluminum-cased drives can be our own worst enemy, right? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped them (usually the T5 because I’m shooting directly to the drive), and I get little dings in the side, as well as worrying about someone stepping on it when I inevitably forget what I’ve done with it and misplace the dang thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, those problems are a thing of the past. That’s right. We find ourselves on the precipice of greatness at this year’s NAB. Samsung came forth and unveiled this “shielded,” more protected, rugged (if you will) T7 SSD that’s bound to be a hit for DITs, solo shooters<\/a>, and angry video editors<\/a> everywhere. We did it, y’all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All jokes aside, this does help many people who will inevitably find themselves in less than ideal weather situations. They may have been stressing about their climate-sealed container full of drives getting water into it, but fret no more! Kind of\u2014I mean you should always be extra careful and mindful of how your drives are stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This new drive should put your mind at ease only slightly. But hey, I’ll take all the help I can get at this point, am I right? The drives have a rubber case\/layer with an IP65 rating, which means that the drives are water- and dust-resistant.\u00a0Also, this isn’t the first time we’ve sung the praises of these small SSDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recently, we listed them as some of the best drives around for shooters and editors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
