![]() The SSD creates cache by treating some of the NAND as SLC (generally) by writing only 1 bit-a much quicker operation than writing the 3 bits TLC is capable of storing, and especially the 4 bits QLC can store. While it’s reading or writing to cache, it does. If you saw nothing but the CrystalDiskMark 6 and AS SSD 2 synthetic benchmark results, you’d think the T7 outperformed the T5 by a mile. The improved performance is largely because the unit is NVMe on the inside, but Samsung was mum as of the time of this writing as to which type of NAND is employed, whether TLC or QLC. I’d actually prefer if it were a bit more substantial in the palm of my hand. The T7 is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) SSD that’s roughly the shape of the older T5, but at 3.3 x 2.2 x 0.3 inches, it’s thinner and weighs a mere 2 ounces. Go there for information on competing products and how we tested them. This review is part of our ongoing roundup of the best external drives. (Corporations generally require FIPS, and secure government use always does.) That makes it a sweet deal for the average user who still wants effective data protection. Sure, you could get an official FIPS-certified secure drive, but those cost far more than the T7, which gives you this extra bit of security while remaining within the price range (currently $130 on Amazon) of a normal USB SSD. ![]() It’s thinner, a significantly faster reader, and it also sports a fingerprint scanner that you can employ, or not-your choice. ![]() Samsung’s Portable SSD T7 Touch is a very nice upgrade to the older T5 (which will still be available). ![]()
