Portable SSDs have become
quite popular lately but only a handful of them offer proper security so
Samsung is taking matters into its own hands by introducing the T7 Touch with
fingerprint reader identification. This way you can rest assured that your
sensitive data is safe even if you misplace the actual drive.
The T7 Touch succeeds the T5
from last year by offering a capacitive fingerprint scanner and AES 256-bit
hardware encryption and password for added security. Moreover, the T7 Touch
boasts about 1 GB/s read and 1 GB/s read speeds, which is almost twice as fast
as its predecessor.
Connectivity options include
USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A while the connector of the device supports
10Gbps speeds over USB 3.2 (Gen 2). The T7 Touch comes in three flavors - 500GB
for US$ 129, 1TB for US$ 229 and 2TB for US$ 399 with planned availability this month.
The available paint jobs of the titanium case are black and silver and the
whole thing weighs just 58 grams.
