With the need to carry data everywhere, especially for gamers pursuing a career as streamers or YouTubers, a portable SSD is an essential item. If you want a high-tech product with ultra-fast speed and excellent security, the Samsung T7 Touch is made for you.
From the packaging, Samsung T7 Touch emphasizes its unique security feature of using a fingerprint to unlock the data inside.
The accessory kit is very simple but includes all the necessary items, including USB Type C to A and USB Type C to C cables, ensuring users can easily connect to computers, phones, etc., to access their data.
The Samsung T7 Touch is quite compact, about the size of a standard ATM card (though thicker). Clearly, users can store this ultra-light SSD anywhere, even comfortably in their pockets, although it might be a bit of a hassle to find in a backpack…
Despite its small size, this SSD is robust, with a metal casing that is not only attractive but also very sturdy, capable of withstanding strong impacts. According to the manufacturer, this product can survive a fall from 2 meters without any issues—truly impressive!
As everyone can see, the Samsung T7 Touch features a standout element that even lights up when powered on: the fingerprint sensor located on the front. To use this premium security system, users will need to install the “Samsung Portable SSD” software provided within the SSD’s memory, available for Windows, MacOS, and Android, which is very convenient.
First, you need to set a password for the Samsung T7 Touch to encrypt the data inside, making your data safe. Then, the next step is to set up your fingerprint for unlocking.
The process is quite simple and similar to registering a fingerprint on a smartphone; just place your finger on the sensor and roll it back and forth for a while, and you’re done! Users can register up to 4 fingers, so if you want to share it with friends, colleagues, or partners, just invite them to “roll their fingers” too.
Equipped with a 3D V-NAND 92-layer memory chip inside and a 3.2 Gen 2 USB Type C interface outside, the Samsung T7 Touch provides a very fast user experience.
According to tests with the popular benchmark software Crystal Disk Mark, we have sequential read/write speeds of 1013 MB/s – 951 MB/s, random read/write speeds (4K) of 21 MB/s and 33 MB/s. These results are very close to the manufacturer’s claims. Of course, when used in real life with many small files and prolonged use, it may overheat slightly, causing copy speeds to not reach the perfect level of the test software.
However, the normal usage speed is still very fast, with small to medium image files achieving speeds of around 200 MB/s, and large video files reaching about 500 MB/s. Installing software or games on the Samsung T7 Touch runs smoothly without any hiccups.
Overall, the Samsung T7 Touch is a perfect portable SSD with advanced technology, excellent fingerprint security, an attractive design, and very fast speeds, comfortably storing important documents without fear of exposure.
The price of this SSD is somewhat on the higher side, with over 4 million VND for the 500GB version, 6.6 million VND for the 1TB version, and 13.5 million VND for the 2TB version. But its high cost is justified with a plethora of advanced technology. Currently, the Samsung T7 Touch is officially distributed in Vietnam by Vinh Xuan Computer Company.
