After being released on pre-order terms in Germany last week, the Samsung Portable SSD T7 is now available in the USA in all three storage configurations and color options. As mentioned before, the Portable SSD T7 is identical to the Portable SSD T7 Touch, except is comes in different colors and it lacks a fingerprint sensor. The launch prices in the USA actually make more sense than they do in Germany, and buyers can save a couple tens of dollars even at a time when the T7 Touch is available at a discount.
The Portable SSD T7 with 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB of storage costs $109.99, $199.99, and $369.99, respectively. In contrast, the variant equipped with a fingerprint sensor costs $119.99, $219.99, and $379.99 with promotional discounts of $10/$20 in tow. The touch-less version is available in Metallic Red, Indigo Blue, and Titan Grey.
The Portable SSD T7 is roughly 2x faster than the T5
Samsung's latest external SSD solution can achieve a read speed of 1,050MB/s and a write speed of 1,000MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2 with UASP mode enabled. Your personal data is protected thanks to AES 256-bit hardware data encryption, while the hardware itself is protected by a shock-resistant aluminum case. The device ships with two cables: a USB Type-C-to-C and a USB Type-C-to-A.
