HOT DESK The Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch set a comfortable pace while filming at-home workouts, despite limited space and time
LEARN THE ROPES Owen’s years in the industry have presented plenty of challenges, for both him and the kit he relies on
an array of devices. USB C to C and USB C to A cables make it all the more convenient. With speed firmly checked off the list, what else was Owen looking for? “Size is key for me,” the filmmaker continues. “I have a 6TB hard drive I used to take on shoots. It’s not redundant by any stretch, but as far as everyday use goes, the Samsung is perfect. On Friday, we were filming in somebody’s house, so space was at a premium. My larger backup drive wouldn’t be an option there. Even if it fit, I wouldn’t want it because I’m having to work on unstable surfaces. It would be yet another tool to find a plug for.” Leading an impressive list of innovations is a fingerprint scanner, backed by AES 256- bit encryption. Files are unlocked with the simplest of gestures, and an LED surround illustrates its status. “A colleague was explaining that he’d come off a highly sensitive shoot earlier this week. In those circumstances, extra
protection is extremely beneficial. If you lost it, somebody couldn’t get in and view the content. It’s as simple as that,” Owen adds. Although his time with it is just getting started, it’s only taken days for this creative to reach a well-informed verdict on the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch. “Samsung SSDs are absolutely amazing; this one is no exception. It’s small enough to barely notice in a bag, fast enough to make all transfers on the day, and cost-effective enough to use them by the job. Whether cycling through them project after project, or dropping data on and letting the client take it, it’s a happy medium,” he concludes. “You get fast storage for not much money, which is great for any creative.”
“This week, the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch has been so fast, I can copy data as I go”
footage from it, but playback is perfectly smooth. Its performance elsewhere makes me believe I’d have no issue using it as a scratch disk in post.” Beyond computer use, the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch is compatible with
