Jan. 9, 2020

What makes the new devices truly stand out from other products in the market is a new biometric authentication system that is expected to improve data protection with an additional hardware security measure in the form of a built-in fingerprint sensor. According to the company, the T7 Touch brings the first built-in fingerprint scanner to Samsung SSDs on top of password protection and AES 256-bit hardware encryption.

Samsung is offering the T7 SSDs in three different storage options, including 500GB, 1TB and 2TB. They will be available starting this month in over 30 countries worldwide, and are coming to India in February for Rs. 11,999, Rs. 18,999 and Rs. 36,999, respectively. The company also said that the portable T7 models are expected to be launched in the second quarter of this year.
