Samsung Portable SSD T7 – 2TB

The Samsung Portable SSD T7 – 2TB is a compact high-speed external SSD designed for larger production files, on-set backups and portable media storage. It uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface with a maximum link speed of 10 Gb/s and offers sequential read speeds up to 1050 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 1000 MB/s. With 2 TB of capacity in a body weighing only around 58 g, it is well suited to camera crews, editors and DIT workflows that need substantial portable storage without carrying a larger external drive.

High-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance

Samsung rates the T7 at up to 1050 MB/s sequential read and up to 1000 MB/s sequential write performance when used with a compatible USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection. UASP support helps maintain efficient data transfer between the drive and host computer. Actual speed will depend on the computer, cable, file structure and workload, but the T7 is designed for significantly faster transfers than conventional portable hard drives.

2 TB capacity for larger media sets

The 2 TB version provides additional space for productions that generate larger amounts of footage or need to keep several working folders on one drive. It can be used for camera-media transfers, duplicate backups, editing projects, proxies, audio sessions and still-photo archives. The higher capacity is particularly useful when working with high-resolution or high-bitrate media where smaller drives may fill quickly during a shoot.

Compact and lightweight aluminium body

Despite the increased capacity, the 2 TB T7 remains extremely compact at approximately 85 × 57 × 8 mm and around 58 g. The aluminium enclosure helps protect the SSD while also assisting with heat dissipation during sustained transfers. Samsung specifies drop resistance from heights of up to 2 m under controlled conditions, adding a useful level of durability for transport between studio and location environments.

AES 256-bit hardware encryption

The T7 supports AES 256-bit hardware encryption and optional password protection through Samsung software. This can help protect sensitive client material, confidential production data and project files if the drive is lost or transported between locations. Password protection can be enabled when required or left disabled for workflows where rapid plug-and-play access is more important.

Compatibility across common production systems

Samsung specifies support for Windows 7 or later, macOS X 10.10 or later and Android 5.1 or later. The USB interface is backward-compatible, so the drive can work with older USB ports when necessary, though performance will be limited by the slower connection. To reach the highest transfer rates, the host system should support USB 3.2 Gen 2 together with UASP.
