Unfortunately, it's not backward compatible with Thunderbolt 1 or 2, so double-check you have the proper hardware to support the standard. It impressed Brendan Lowry in their Plugable Thunderbolt 3 SSD review, with the only negative points coming in the way of its shorter cable and expensive price tag. Hitting up to 2,400MB/s for reading and 1,800MB/s for writing means transferring files is quick as thunder. If so, you'll enjoy some of the fastest data transfer speeds possible with this external drive from Plugable. Suppose you're using something like the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 with Thunderbolt 4 support or the Dell XPS 15 (9560) with Thunderbolt 3. USB speeds are improving with every generation, but they're usually playing catch-up to Thunderbolt. No backward compatibility for Thunderbolt 1 or 2 The PlayStation 5, on the other hand, supports USB 3.2 Gen 2, so if you've been looking for an external drive for Sony's console, then Samsung has the perfect pairing here. The Xbox Series X supports USB 3.2 Gen 1, so it won't quite hit the maximum potential speeds, but the T7 is backward compatible, so it's still a decent choice for storing games. An internal thermal guard also protects against extreme heat during warmer weather.Ĭompatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac, the T7 can also be connected to Android devices and games consoles. Naturally, Samsung made sure the T7 is shock-resistant, as most solid-state drives are since there are no moving parts, but the solid frame adds to its protection. It makes an ultra-portable drive perfect for students or creators who always need their work with them. These dimensions pair with its lightweight 58g build and two USB cables, one USB-A and the other USB-C. Measuring almost precisely the size of a business card at 85mm by 57mm, the Samsung T7 is slim, too, with a width of only 8mm. Plus, there's a choice between gray, blue, and red for a little personalized touch. The regular model suits most users perfectly fine if you'd prefer to save a bit of cash, with sizes ranging from 500GB to 2TB. It impressed Rich Devine in his review, with the T7 and security-conscious T7 Touch providing fantastic test results. The Samsung T7 portable external SSD is the best choice for storing your files with rapid transfer speeds, thanks to its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. Underperforms without USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports
