Samsung SSD Rugged Durability with MIL-STD 810G

Samsung has announced the release of new 2.5-inch external SSD drives for USB Type-C. The peculiarity of the device is the maximum possible protection against external factors. The so-called "post-apocalyptic" series of information storage devices is designed for long-term storage of data in the conditions of natural disasters.

As a basis, the South Korean manufacturer took the legendary series of Samsung T7 SSD drives. Released in 2020, drives are still popular with IT professionals and businessmen. The housing of the novelty SSD Rugged Durability has become even stronger. Plus, it's resistant to extreme temperatures. By the way, after the release of the novelty on the market, it is necessary to conduct testing by heating and hypothermia. In order to be completely sure that the disc will be usable after the apocalypse.

The chassis of the Samsung SSD RuggedDurability is made from durable aluminum alloy. Nothing is said about protection against moisture with dust (IP68 is not declared). But there is impact resistance. Moreover, according to the American military standard MIL-STD 810G. Temperature ranges of use and storage are also not declared. Which suggests a marketing move by the manufacturer, who simply decided to move competitors in the pocket SSD market.

 

There is also no mention of volumes. Most likely it will be versions with 1, 2 and 4 TB. I would like to receive information about the type of cells used to store data. Not to mention the price.
