Verdict: The SanDisk Extreme Pro V2 wins on raw performance (2000 MB/s vs 1050 MB/s per RTINGS) and durability (5‑year warranty vs 3‑year, IP55 vs IP65), making it the better choice for power users. The Samsung T7 Shield, however, offers a more compact form factor and a lower price, which suits casual users who don’t need top‑tier speeds. Both drives meet the USB‑C standard, but the SanDisk’s newer USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface future‑proofs it better.
