Ultra-slim, pocket-sized portable SSD with AES 256-bit encryption. The go-to choice for everyday portability.

Everyday Storage Analysis

Reliable 1.0TB storage with 1.1 GB/s reads - the Samsung T7 Portable SSD is a practical, affordable choice for daily backups and file transport.

Solid Everyday Performance

With 1.1 GB/s reads and 1.0 GB/s writes over a USB-C connection, the Samsung T7 Portable SSD delivers reliable performance for daily computing needs. Backing up documents, transferring photos from a laptop to a desktop, or storing a media library - this drive handles routine tasks with consistent speed and zero fuss.

1.0TB of storage provides generous headroom for everyday files. The compact, lightweight design slips into any bag pocket, and with 580 TBW endurance backed by a 3-year warranty, it is a storage investment that will serve you for years.

Great for

  • Daily system backups (Time Machine, File History, or rsync)
  • Expanding a laptop or Chromebook storage

  • Solid aluminum unibody design
