System Requirements

USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Interface Support USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a serial input/output interface standard for connecting various devices. T7 Shield’s data transfer speed is optimal with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) and using lower versions such as USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), USB 2.0 and 1.1 may result in lower performances due to interface limitations inherent in such lower versions.
Performance may vary depending on user’s system to which the T7 Shield is connected. Since the T7 Shield’s performance may be suboptimal if your system does not support UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) even when using USB 3.2 Gen 2 connections, please make sure that your system supports UASP.
Operating System Requirements
- Windows OS: Windows 7 or higher
- Mac OS: Mac OS X 10.10 or higher
- Android: Android Lollipop or higher
- The 4TB version of the T7 Shield is only compatible with a 64-bit OS.

As specified in the table below, whether data formatted to a certain format may be read or written to your computer vary depending on the OS. If you use the T7 Shield on a single OS, we recommend that you format it using the appropriate file format for that OS.
- Table 1: Read/write restrictions for file systems by each operating system.

File Formats	Windows OS	Mac OS
exFAT	Both read and write	Both read and write
NTFS	Both read and write	Read only
HFS/HFS+/APFS	Not recognizable	Both read and write

When using exFAT across multiple operating systems, data writing may become locked and you may only be able to read data. If this occurs, you can restore write access by following the instructions below.
Mac OS: Connect the T7 Shield to your Mac again, and perform Eject.
Windows OS: When receiving notice that write access is disabled, click “Scan and fix” to perform Check Disk (CHKDSK). In case you closed the notice without performing Check Disk, you may alternatively do the following: right-
To perform the Time Machine function on Mac, change the file’s format to APFS.

Capacity of T7 Shield Displayed on the System

The capacity reported by the system to which the T7 Shield is connected may differ from the labeled capacity, due to the difference between the decimal and binary systems of measurement and other factors including the drive’s partitioning and blocking.
e.g.: Windows OS: 1 GB = 1,024MB, Mac OS: 1GB = 1,000MB Labeled capacity uses decimal system and is convertible as below: 1 GB=1,000,000,000 bytes, 1 TB=1,000,000,000,000 bytes
Your computer may demonstrate a lower capacity if a different measurement standard is used.
