creators handling multiple deliverables under pressure, that kind of workflow advantage quickly becomes invaluable. Keep up with change Modern productions also generate far more data than they did a few years ago. Events often involve long-form coverage, vertical social content, behind-the- scenes clips, livestream assets and high- resolution photography all being captured simultaneously. Storage is no longer simply about archiving files safely but has become active production infrastructure. The Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield’s compact design also makes it practical for a constantly moving crew. At just 98g and measuring 88mm long, 59mm wide and 13mm thick, it slips easily into a pocket or kitbag without adding bulk. And as it comes in sizes up to 4TB, it’s big enough for the most demanding jobs. Despite its size, it’s built for demanding real-world use, as productions are rarely clean studio environments. Gear is thrown into bags, knocked around in media rooms and exposed to unpredictable weather. With its IP65 water and dust resistance rating, shock resistance from drops up to three metres and a rugged elastomer exterior for extra protection, the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield is built to survive the kind of circumstances working productions regularly encounter. That combination of portability and ruggedness proved valuable at Silverstone, where the crew was constantly moving between indoor conference spaces, busy trade show areas and outdoor filming locations. For Elliott’s team, the result was a workflow that stayed fast, flexible and dependable throughout the event, all thanks to the staying power of the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield.

Micro SD is a mini marvel

When cameras shrink, they need small cards but can’t cut back on the level of storage. So when Elliott decided to use a gimbal camera that shoots up to 4K in 120fps for some quick-and-dirty video clips, the Samsung PRO Plus micro SD was the obvious choice. With a huge 1TB capacity, it fits right into the camera. And with a read speed of 180MB/s and write speed of 130MB/s, V30 rated for 4K capture, this proved perfect for storing lots of video and stills files. And as it comes with an SD adapter, the card was quickly removed and fitted into a standard card reader to back up all the files to the T7 Shield via Elliott’s computer.

Formula fun For coverage of a trade show and conference at Silverstone, the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield never missed a beat
