Our take on the Samsung 1TB T7 Portable SSD

The Samsung T7 is a pocket-sized external SSD in a titanium gray aluminum shell, roughly the size of a few stacked credit cards. It uses PCIe NVMe internals over USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C to reach rated reads up to 1,050 MB/s and writes up to 1,000 MB/s, and it adds 256-bit AES hardware encryption with password protection. It suits people moving large photo, video or project files between machines, and it is faster and tougher than spinning portable drives and quicker than SATA-based SSDs like the T5. Owners praise the speed and small size; the main complaints are heat under sustained writes and the fingerprint-prone finish.

Questions and answers

How fast is the Samsung T7?
Samsung rates it at up to 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write over USB 3.1 Gen 2. Real speeds depend on your computer's port and the files you copy.
Does it work with older USB-A computers?
Yes. The drive is backward compatible with USB 3.0 and Type-A ports when you use the appropriate cable.
Is the T7 better than the T5?
The T7 uses NVMe internals and is rated roughly twice as fast as the SATA-based T5. If your ports are older USB 3.0, the gap in real use will be smaller.
How does the encryption work?
It uses 256-bit AES hardware encryption with password protection, set up through Samsung's software. It is optional, so you can use the drive without it.
What is in the box?
The drive comes with USB-C connection cables for USB-C and USB-A hosts. It does not include a case.
Is it good for video editing?
Yes for moving and backing up footage, and many owners edit directly from it. Very long sustained writes can warm the drive and slow it slightly.
