If the warranty is different, then that may be a factor.
I've used T7 (non-rugged) as well with no issues.
I think the sandisk is slightly smaller than the T7, but not by a large amount.

A coworker has one of the 4TB SanDisks and he likes it. I will say that the SanDisk is a little smaller and lighter weight than the Shield.. But the Shield has a higher IP and shock rating. Anecdotally, I noticed his SanDisk gets hotter faster when transferring a lot of files at once and is more prone to scuffing/scratching (if that bothers you) than the Shield due to it's hard plastic vs the Shield's rubberized outer covering.
As far as reliability goes, I read one too many reviews complaining of compound oozing out of the SanDisk, or it overheating and cooking itself or losing data. I know it's hard to not get bogged down in reviews, but the amount of reports of these quality issues was far higher on the Sandisk than the Samsung so that too swayed me to the T7 Shield.
Lastly, I had absolutely no problem applying P-Touch labels to either drive (I noticed many comments saying people could not get labels to stick to the Shields during my decision-making process haha). I'd highly recommend the 4TB Shields!
