I just bought a T7 shield and recorded for 35 min on my BMPCC 4K at 8:1 full sensor raw with no problems. There are upgraded parts compared to the T7 and T7 Touch.

There's a good article with test results on the Tom's Hardware website. The sustained write performance looks good.

They put up those big numbers on them but the only one that matters is the V30 one since its guaranteed to be able to sustain 30MB/s continuous recording. Everything else is UP TO.


Ehm... Panasonic develop their support, their SD card high speed, they could sugget their sd card, like in pro enviroment sony suggest their card // cfast // cf express and more... but Panasonic never did it.
i was embarassed be cause i thought they answer me with some of their expansive card, but with an answer.

Is it a T7 Touch Portable? I’m pretty ignorant about the T7 SSDs but I’m in the market for 2 TB.

I am curious also.
What version of T7 are you talking about.
T7 original.
T7 Touch
or
T7 shield
?
All of them are portable but are different from each other.

And the only one that's officially supported is the T7 Shield, and anyone that says the non shield versions of the T7 work fine promise to buy those drives from you when they don't work and finance your re-shoot when they don't sustain write speeds.

The Samsung T7 Shield 2 TB portable units must be popular at my local Best Buy. Several 1 TB in the store but zero 2 TB.

As you may know, all my media is from Wise-Advanced. However I just ordered the approved Samsung T7 Shield 2 TB external SSD for use with the BMPCC4K. May be a couple of weeks before I can begin testing it, but shouldn’t be an issue. Will get a thorough ’trial by fire’ in May and especially June at the music festival.

I've been using this enclosure with a Crucial MX500 since I bought my Pocket 6k in 2020 with no problems what so ever.

Even now buying this and even a 2TB Crucial drive is cheaper than buying a Samsung drive.

Here's a Amazon List I made with the enclosure and cable

Hi,

I've talked with the samsung support. The T7 Shield and non shield are inside technically the same.
So both should work properly.

Possible for the most parts but there are tons of people that have had problems with T7 NON Shield and BM has never approved them far any device for some reason.
T7 Shield in the other hand has ben approved and is working with camera settings that NON Shield could not handle at all, for the same people that had problem with the NON Shield .
So there must be something that they are not telling or the support person not knowing.

And that alone that BM never approved T7 NON Shield but T7 Shield and T5 were approved nearly right away must tell something.
