Overall, the Samsung T7 Touch is a very nice portable SSD, featuring great build quality and fast performance. But at $130 for our 500GB test model (and $230 for the 1TB version), you’re paying a premium for Samsung’s design and that fingerprint sensor.

The Samsung T7 Touch is an innovative portable SSD that takes data protection to the next level thanks to the built-in fingerprint sensor and AES 256-bit hardware data encryption. This is the first built-in fingerprint scanner that we have seen on a portable SSD and is what makes this drive special. If you are looking for a secure portable drive that offers fingerprint recognition on top of password protection this is the only solution on the market.

If you’ve ever found yourself wishing that you had more storage in a format that was easily connectable to any device, and also had enough security to deter less determined and knowledgable hackers the Samsung T7 Touch ticks every box. It looks gorgeous, is thin and light, and plenty fast enough for all your media needs. It’s much faster than SATA6 SSDs and wins the OC3D Enthusiast Award.
