And the features of advanced external SSDs always come into adding more storage and making the drives much faster. Well, Samsung decided to add those and be more creative with other things.
Thanks to the improved transfer feed, offering up to 1,050 MB/s transfer speed. The new Samsung’s SSD T7 is twice as fast as its predecessor, the T5.
But it was officially announced at CES 2020 with a built-in fingerprint reader to secure your file and AES 256-bit hardware encryption and improved transfer feed.
Samsung SSD T7 is a portable Solid State Drive Touch with a sleek, compact design based on the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard. It weighs just 58 grams.
It comes with a feature called ‘Motion LED’, which allows you to glance at the device and determine the status quickly. Much like an indicator light that shows when the drive is plugged in and actively transmitting data.
