For a change we are not getting you a smartphone review from the house of Samsung. This is something really interesting and a storage device that we never thought we’d need, but now daily work life seems impossible without it. Weighing in at just 58 grams, meet the Samsung Portable SSD T7.

Samsung has recently launched the Portable SSD T7 at INR 8,999 for 500GB, INR 17,999 for 1TB, and INR 29,999 for 2TB version in India. Now yes, that seems a lot to pay for a hard drive on your PC or Mac, however this 85mmX57mmX8mm cuboid is something from the future. The version that we used for this review was a T7 with 1TB capacity.

This is an SSD that can fit inside your jean pocket and you won’t even feel a thing. Samsung has designed it to be a daily driver, as it is sleek and compact with the fastest transfer speeds currently available based on the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard.

Samsung claims that the portable SSD T7 can reach maximum read and write speed of 1,050MB/s which is nearly twice as fast as its predecessor, the Portable SSD T5. However in our testing we got 1000MB/s (Read) speeds for small file transfers up to 5GB and an average of around 850-900 MB/s for larger files. We used the T7 with our MacBook Pro and iPad Pro 2020 for this review. The write speeds varied in the range of 700-950MB/s.
