Samsung Portable SSD T7 – 1TB

The Samsung Portable SSD T7 – 1TB is a compact external solid-state drive designed for fast file transfers, on-set backups and portable media storage. Its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface supports transfer speeds up to 10 Gb/s, while Samsung specifies sequential read speeds up to 1050 MB/s and write speeds up to 1000 MB/s. The drive is small enough to fit easily into a camera or DIT kit and provides 1 TB of storage for footage, project files, proxies, stills and other production media.

Up to 1050 MB/s read speed

The T7 uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface and supports UASP for high-speed data transfers. Samsung rates sequential read performance at up to 1050 MB/s and sequential write performance at up to 1000 MB/s when connected to a compatible host and cable. Actual performance depends on the computer, interface, file type and workload, but the drive is significantly faster than conventional portable hard drives and is well suited to copying camera media or moving large project folders.

1 TB portable storage for production workflows

The 1 TB capacity offers a practical balance between portability and available space for many film, photo and content-production tasks. It can be used for daily footage transfers, project backups, proxy libraries, graphics, audio sessions and other working files. Its compact form makes it easy to carry several drives in a small case when separate storage is required for different projects or backup copies.

Compact aluminium construction

The T7 measures approximately 85 × 57 × 8 mm and weighs around 58 g, making it much smaller and lighter than a conventional external hard drive. The aluminium enclosure helps dissipate heat while protecting the internal SSD. Samsung also specifies drop resistance from heights of up to 2 m under controlled test conditions, which provides additional protection during transport and everyday location use.

Hardware encryption and password protection

The drive supports AES 256-bit hardware encryption together with optional password protection through Samsung software. This can be useful when transporting client files, confidential project data or production documents between locations. Security functions are optional, so the drive can also be used as a standard external SSD when password protection is not required.

Wide computer and mobile compatibility

Samsung lists compatibility with Windows 7 or later, macOS X 10.10 or later and Android 5.1 or later, provided the device supports a compatible USB connection. The USB interface is backward-compatible with earlier USB standards, although transfer speeds will be reduced when the drive is connected to a slower port. For maximum performance, the host computer should support USB 3.2 Gen 2 and UASP.
