SAMSUNG | ADVERTI SEMENT FEATURE
great peace of mind,” says Cheung. “I take enormous care of the drive when I am travelling around, but the unimaginable can happen and the prospect of having all my data out of my hands is scary. “So the first thing I did when I got the Samsung portable drive was to set up its password protection and, naturally, I utilised the fingerprint security option, too. It was fast to set up, and I love being able to gain access to the drive’s contents by placing my right forefinger on the glowing blue LED square. Very handily, this LED also lights up when the portable drive is working, so it’s a welcome visible reminder not to unplug the drive until it turns off. “The physical reliability of the Samsung SSD T7 Touch seems to be beyond reproach, too. I’m not sure if Samsung’s testing procedure includes carrying the unit around in a pocket for a couple of weeks, but that has been my reliability test and so far, so good. The metal casing has no give, so even sitting down on it inadvertently a couple of times when it was in my back pocket was not an issue, and the Samsung portable drive performed impeccably.”

Reliability and security are keywords of the Portable SSD T7 Touch. It is available in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB sizes and in silver or black finishes. The robust metal body that encases the solid state drive (SSD) means the unit can withstand a drop from up to two metres. The Portable SSD T7 Touch also comes with a three-year limited guarantee. For security, the drive has AES 256-bit encryption, and the supplied Samsung Portable SSD app gives users the option of password or fingerprint protection. The app also has an automatic update function, so it is no trouble at all to keep up with the latest firmware updates. “The Portable SSD T7 Touch’s password or fingerprint protection offers
