Samsung announced the release of new 2.5-inch external SSD drives with USB Type-C. The feature of the device is the maximum possible protection against external factors. The so-called “post-apocalyptic” series of storage devices is designed for long-term data storage in natural disaster conditions.
Samsung SSD RuggedDurability with MIL-STD 810G
Based on the legendary Samsung T7 SSD series, which was released in 2020 and remains popular among IT specialists and businesspeople. The body of the new SSD Rugged Durability has become even more durable. Additionally, it has gained resistance to extreme temperatures. By the way, after the new product hits the market, testing with heating and cooling should be conducted to ensure the drive remains functional after an apocalypse.
The body of the Samsung SSD RuggedDurability is made from durable aluminum alloy. No information is provided about protection from moisture and dust (IP68 is not claimed). However, shock resistance is present, according to the military American standard MIL-STD 810G. Temperature ranges for use and storage are also not specified, which suggests a marketing move by the manufacturer to push competitors in the portable SSD market.
No details are given about the capacities, but likely options include 1, 2, and 4 TB versions. Information about the type of cells used for data storage and the price is also not provided.
