Samsung’s 1TB T7 Portable SSD, at $79.99 (down from $109.99), is most certainly a bargain for anyone in need of quick, dependable storage that fits in their pocket. This 1TB drive performs well, making it ideal for content makers, students, gamers, and anybody who values speed and mobility.
The T7’s main selling feature is its speed, with read and write rates of up to 1,050 and 1,000 MB/s, respectively. Large files transfer in seconds. A 4K video that would take minutes to move on a hard drive? The T7 does it in a blink. This is thanks to the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface and NVMe technology which together deliver performance almost twice as fast as the older T5. Content creators editing high-resolution videos and photographers transferring RAW files will see the difference immediately.

Portability is another reason the T7 shines and you can’t go wrong when it weighs in at 2 ounces and has the form factor of a credit card. The solid aluminum body feels premium not flimsy and it’s built to take a beating. Samsung claims it can survive drops from 6 feet so it can handle the chaos of a busy commute or a cluttered desk.
Compatibility wise it works with PCs, Macs, Android devices and gaming consoles. The included USB-C-to-C and USB-C-to-A cables mean it connects to almost anything without needing extra adapters. For iPhone 15 Pro users shooting 4K 60fps video the T7 is a perfect companion, you can offload footage directly without clogging your phone’s storage. Gamers can store entire libraries on it, cut load times on consoles like the PS5.
Security and thermal management add practical value. The T7 has optional AES 256-bit hardware encryption so you can lock down sensitive files with a password. Its Dynamic Thermal Guard keeps temperatures in check even during heavy use so the drive stays cool and reliable.
It’s a steal at $79.99. For comparison a 1TB hard drive will cost less but will be slower, bigger and more prone to failure due to moving parts. Other SSDs like the SanDisk Extreme Portable match the T7’s speed but cost more or don’t have the same design. The 3-year warranty and Samsung’s reputation for quality is the icing on the cake.
