That’s vital in his work as the central technical hub for filmmakers and photographers across various live events, including projects for British Speedway, Dirt Store and the Vintage Sports-Car Club. Tough enough for track days What sets the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield apart from other SSDs is that it isn’t just fast but it’s also built to endure punishing environments. With an IP65 rating, it’s resistant to dust and water, so there’s no fear of failure when working trackside in unpredictable weather. The rubberised outer shell and aluminium unibody construction also make it shock- resistant up to three metres. “When shooting speedway, everything gets covered in dust. If I accidentally drop the portable drive onto tarmac in a race paddock, it handles everything. It takes away a big worry,” he says. It also doesn’t take up much space – an important factor when equipment needs to be carried around all day or is at risk of being knocked about in a busy press room, race pits or a TV outside broadcast suite. As the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Shield is just 88mm long, 59mm wide and 13mm thick – and is a real lightweight at 98g – it is no strain to carry or pack away. The portable drive is compact and packs a lot of horsepower in terms of capacity, with options of 1TB, 2TB and a massive 4TB version available in black.

It’s fast enough to keep up with 4K and Raw workflows, tough enough to take a beating and still compact. As Mark Lee-Sing proves, every second matters. And with the right tools, you never miss a moment. More information samsung.com/uk/memory- storage/all-memory-storage
Portable SSD T7 Shield goes much further than that as it includes AES 256- bit hardware encryption with optional password protection via Samsung’s Magician software.
