SAMSUNG | ADVERTI SEMENT FEATURE
RIGHT A convenient light illuminates to let you know at a glance that the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch is ready to transfer your files at lightning speed
9.5x faster than an external HDD. “Again, because of that connection and those speeds,” Sowah continues, “if I wanted to, I could record footage straight to the drive if my SD cards were full or if I knew the shots I’d be recording would be beyond a card’s capacity. It’s something I’m yet to try, but I’m very excited to get the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch on set.” BUILT TO LAST For those planning to use the drive on set, take it to clients, carry it to an edit suite away from home or anything else, robust physical protections are a must. It’s not just the cost of the drive that’s at stake, but the valuable footage contained on it. As a solid-state drive, the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch is built with no moving parts. With the addition of a sturdy metal body, this helps ensure the drive itself and the data on it are safe from falls of up to 2m. “It certainly feels very solid,” says Sowah, “and I trust that it would be safe
from any reasonably significant drop, though anyone in this field hopes that will never happen! It’s nice to have that trust.” Samsung knows that, for some, trust isn’t enough, so the Samsung portable drive is confidently backed by a limited three-year guarantee. Of course, physical protection is only part of the equation. For someone like Sowah, who handles the potentially sensitive marketing content of businesses, knowing files are digitally secure is of the utmost importance. On that front, users can rest assured with the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch,
which utilises AES 256-bit encryption in its built-in security options. There is the option of a password, but in a pleasingly modern step, it features a fingerprint scanner, too. “The fingerprint scanner is incredible and ultimately just very convenient. That additional layer of security is reassuring though, particularly if you have private information on your SSD,” he adds. You may presume such a fast, robust and high-capacity drive would come at a real cost in size, but that couldn’t be further from the truth with the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch. The portable drive weighs just 58g, measuring 85mm long, 57mm wide and only 8mm tall – it genuinely sits in the palm of your hand. “The size of the drive might be one of the most surprising features of all, it’s super tiny and really lives up to its portable name. I like the design, too, it’s very sleek,” Sowah tells us. After his time with it, it seems like the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch may be the perfect storage solution for him. Sowah concludes: “Overall, it’s perfect for what I do. I need speed when offloading footage and speed when editing. This drive does it all and I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the same position. I wouldn’t edit on an HDD ever again.”
