    Small SSD Drive with Biometrics is the best

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Had been using the drive for about 2 weeks now, and love it. It helps in two ways as my current Surface Book only has 256GB capacity, and now I get another 500GB SSD. The drive is sleek and lightweight and can even fit in the pocket without any issue. The harddrive has Type C port on it. It can be connected either with Type A-Type C, or Type C-Type C cables that were provided along with it in the package. The harddrive when plugged in lights up blue which is a cool looking feature, indicating where the fingerprint can be scanned. The software to register to fingerprint is loaded in the harddrive, but would have liked to see the software automatically load to install when the drive is connected on first plug in, into the PC. The other best feature of the harddrive is that it works with Type C port connectivity, and can be plugged to any Samsung Phone with Type C charging port. That helps really well as the phone only has 128GB internal and with 8K video recording, the phone drive fills up too quick, so can transfer data from phone to Drive directly. And with over 900MBPS Read/Write speeds, I was also able to use it as storage drive while recording 8K videos on the S20 Ultra without having any dataloss. Even when playback of videos on phone, there was no lag on video playback. The Drive can be setup with Password and Fingerprints. Setup is quick, but would have liked to see an option to sign in with account on the app, as I am not sure if drive can be accessed just using the Password There are issues using the app on PC as the app size is too small and had to use magnifier or increasing scaling to see the options. App shows an Update, but unable to update the drive even with Security Mode Disabled. Another issue with the Samsung Portable SSD app on PC is that, if Security Mode is disabled, then upon enable again, new password has to be entered and even register again to biometrics, as previously used isnt saved. There is also Portable SSD app on android phone, but even when drive is plugged in, its not detected by the app, when shown in Files. Detects on the PC app. All in all, its the best portable drive that is lightweight, small in size, and has security options inbuilt. Pros: Small size light weight Fast Read/Write Speeds Fingerprint ID Password Cons: Unable to update software on drive Disable and Enable biometrics, register again to biometrics

    King of Drives

    I was super excited to receive my new Samsung T7 Touch 500 GB USB drive. This drive is really small and lightweight. It is about the length of a credit card. I first attached the USB drive to my Windows 10 CPU. My motherboard has a USB C input, so I was able to hookup the drive directly by USB C. The first thing I noticed was drive comes unencrypted. The Samsung software will need to be installed and a password or fingerprint setup first . I noticed this if you want the drive encrypted and you want to use on multiple devices, you must download the Samsung software to your CPU first. Once I added my passcode/fingerprint, I tried connecting the USB drive to several different devices. I was able to use the drive on my Xbox One, Android TV, Windows 10 CPU, and Tablet. I did have an issue with my Google Pixel and LG 4k Television. Both gave a message asking me to format the drive to the correct format. Then I compared the drive to my other USB 3.0 drive and this Samsung blows it out of the water. The read and write speeds are 10X faster on the Samsung T7. I will be using this drive to store my documents, pictures, and games. This drive should serve as my local backup to my CPU as well. I’m really impressed with the design and overall feel. The fingerprint reader is pretty responsive as well. I’m not sure about the overall durability of the drive, as I have not owned the product long enough to measure. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase, and may even add a second drive for my son's Xbox One. 'I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest feedback'

    Small and mighty

    When I ordered my T7 touch I didn’t know what to expect. I have used several portable hard drives before but they were never very elegant or pocketable. However when I opened up the box I was speechless as to how beautiful this SSD is. It is very pocketable and fits in the palm of my hand. I have been using it for several days and just throw it into my pocket with my wallet. It has a beautiful brushed metal look that also will be very protective. I love the fact that the box came with both a USB-C and USB-A cable. I am able to use it with both my windows pc and my Google Pixel 4. Transfer speed is very fast and the fingerprint allows me to store sensitive documents and data without worrying about it being compromised. Overall I am very satisfied with the T7 touch and plan on continuing to use it everyday.

    This is a great little solid state storage device. It's small, you could put three of them in your shirt pocket. It's simple to use, not a lot of confusing options, pretty much a straight forward external hard drive. It comes complete with two USB cables so you can use it with USB-C if you have it or just use your older style USB port. The fingerprint reader works unfailingly so you can be the only person who can access your information, but you could allow another persons fingerprint to be used as well, your choice. Optionally you can just use a password, but that's not as secure. Interestingly this plugs into the USB port on my Samsung Smart TV and I can watch any MP3 based videos. Probably you can listen to MP3 music too but I haven't tried that. If I had it to do over I'd spend the extra money and get the largest capacity version, I got the 1 TB model and it's about a third filled already. I'll probably never fill it, but I'd like to have all the space I can get.

    This is a must have product. The product looks premium and secondly it hosts fingerprint scanner to secure your data. The setup process is very easy it barely takes 2 mins. Transfer and connectivity speed is ultrafast.

    I am very impressed with this device. It is very tiny and works great. I can take it and carry it anyway and it is very sturdy as it is a shock proof device. I really like the fingerprint technology that makes it really easy to unlock it. It transfers files and documents really fast snd I use it both for personal snd business stuff. Samsung really did a great job with it .
