Samsung T7 SSD Goes for Pocket Change Now, 2TB Drive Selling 68% Off Original Price - Kotaku

"Samsung earned its reputation as the most reliable brand for SSDs through years of consistent performance and the T7 has been an iconic model in portable storage since its launch a few years back. Traditional external hard drives (HDD) feel painfully slow once you experience the speed difference that solid-state technology delivers, and even more as this T7 model just hit a record low at $168 instead of the usual $187 (and $399 at launch!) for Black Friday on Amazon."

"The USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface pushes read speeds to 1,050MB/s and write speeds close behind, which gives you transfer rates that actually match modern file sizes and project demands. You can edit 4K video directly from the drive without pre-copying footage to your computer's internal storage, saving time and preserving precious laptop SSD space for applications and system files."

"Measuring smaller than a credit card and weighing only 58 grams, the compact design disappears into any bag pocket without adding noticeable bulk or weight to your carry. The metal construction provides shock resistance that protects your data against drops from as high as 2 meters-though you obviously shouldn't test that limit on purpose, just because the specs say it can handle it. Efficient thermal management keeps the drive cool during extended file transfers, preventing performance throttling when you're moving massive amounts of data."

Samsung's T7 portable SSD offers 2TB capacity and transfer speeds up to 1,050MB/s read with write speeds close behind via USB 3.2 Gen 2.

The compact metal enclosure measures smaller than a credit card, weighs 58 grams, and provides shock resistance for drops up to 2 meters. Efficient thermal management prevents throttling during extended transfers. Password protection and AES encryption protect data. The T7 recently reached a record low price of $168, with most color options sold out.
