That would take away so much of the gear you have to carry just to perform a backup. Think about a fast backup device: camera to phone to drive. The huge storage combined with the fast speeds would make it an ideal tool for on the go usage. If your workflow involved editing with a phone or a tablet, the T7 would be amazing for that. It worked like magic, and I immediately got the T7 to display on my solid explorer. I also tried using the drive with my Samsung S9 phone. We could get about 760 MB/s write and about 918 MB/s read, which, considering overhead, is quite impressive. I installed Blackmagic’s disk tester for a speed benchmark, and it scored quite nicely. There is an asterisk on this, and I will get to it later. With a fully-fledged USB 3.2 Gen 2, you can get up to around 1,000 MB/s. Transfer speed will vary by your computer USB type. If the drive is working, that little LED starts blinking and when you “eject,” it turns red, then goes off, so you know it is safe for removal. Like other SSDs, it has no moving parts, so it completely silent. There is a handy small LED light that lights on when the drive is connected, and that is it. Plug the USB-C end of the cable to the drive, the other end (C or A) to a computer, and you are good to go. This is why I have been a great fan of the Samsung T series for a long time now. They fit in bags, tech-cases, even in pockets. There is a lot to say in favor of thin drives. That said, each of the cables is 45 cm, which is more than enough for most standard usages. They are also relatively short, which makes sense longer cables do not excel at high transfer speeds. Cheaper cables may struggle if you are trying to push the upper-speed limits. They are good quality cables that can handle the transfer speed. The cables are relatively short, and you’d want to keep them.

It fits the main claim of the drive: Packing great storage in a minimal form factor. It has the drive, 2 cables: USB Type C-to-C and Type C-to-A and some papers. The T7 comes in a very clean, minimalistic package.
