Our take on the Samsung T7 1TB USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C Portable External SSD
The Samsung T7 is a pocket-sized external SSD with 1TB of storage and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connection. Samsung rates it for sequential reads up to 1,050 MB/s and writes up to 1,000 MB/s, several times faster than a portable hard drive, and it has a metal body with a rubberized back. It is aimed at people moving large files between machines: video editors, photographers, students and anyone backing up a laptop. Against rivals like the SanDisk Extreme and Crucial X8 it is one of the fastest USB 3.2 Gen 2 drives, but it lacks the rugged water and dust ratings some competitors carry.
- Fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, up to 1,050 MB/s reads
- Compact metal body that fits in a pocket
- Works with Windows, macOS, Android and consoles
- Hardware encryption and password protection built in
- Three-year limited warranty
