SAMSUNG | ADVERTI SEMENT FEATURE

“Compared to anything I’ve used before, I found the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch just incomparably fast”
freelancers or other users working remotely, security ranks highly on that list. For the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch, that comes in the form of secure AES 256-bit encryption, with the options of fingerprint and password unlocking. There’s much to be said for this, as Smart explains. “I hadn’t used a fingerprint drive before, but I found it made so much sense,” she says. “So much of our personal technology is unlocked with fingerprints nowadays, like our phones, so I found it really familiar, quick and easy. “With such reliable encryption, when I’m working on something for a client in my edit suite rather than in their building, they can be assured their footage is secure.

So, it’s really reassuring to know that the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch has got that shock resistance.” Despite such an impressive set of features, the portable drive doesn’t sacrifice on looks or size – it’s literally palm-sized. During her time with it, Smart was certainly a fan. “It does look really sleek and smart, but personally I found its size was the best physical feature. It made it easy to transport,” she says. “Put some of the drives I usually work with next to the Samsung Portable SSD T7 Touch and I’d say they’re at least four times as large and at least four times as
