What the specs mean for you

Data speed

20 Gbps

Roughly 2000+ MB/s in practice: quick enough for big video files on fast SSDs.

Total ports

1

Compact: the essentials for travel or a light setup.

Why people pick it

  • Rated at roughly twice the speed of 10Gbps drives on PCs with a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port
  • 5-year warranty, longer than the T7 family's 3 years
  • USB-C and USB-A cables included

Know before you buy

  • Macs don't support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, so on a Mac (or an iPhone 15 Pro or later) it runs at 10Gbps, about T7-class speed
  • Many Windows laptop USB-C ports are 10Gbps only; check for a 20Gbps port before paying for 2x2
  • No water or dust rating, and heavier than the T7 Shield (122g vs 98g)
