A reliable USB backup hard drive is the purchase you make once and forget about, until your laptop or desktop suffers a catastrophic hardware failure and you realize that all of your precious files and data are safe and sound. Don’t end up regretting not having that peace of mind — hit Samsung’s Black Friday sale and grab a T7 portable SSD while they’re marked down by as much as $190.
A one-terabyte Samsung T7 drive is just $90 during the Black Friday sale, down from $145. The 2TB model which normally sells for $255 is just $140, and the huge 4TB version is the biggest discount of all — just $240, down from $430. All three versions come in blue, gray, or red, and all are a mere 0.3 inches thick and weighing just 2.5 ounces for ultimate portability.
The Need for Speed
The key to a great reliable USB backup drive is how quickly it can move your data back and forth between the drive and your computer. Samsung’s T7 drive reads at a blistering 1,050MB per second, and writes almost as quickly at 1,000 MB per second. No more sitting around for hours waiting for your uploads and downloads. It’s almost twice as fast as Samsung’s highly rated previous-gen T5 drive. And the T7 has built-in thermal control so those crazy speeds don’t overheat and cook the drive.
The Samsung T7 drive works equally well on Windows and Mac platforms, connected by a Gen2 USB 3.2 interface that’s backwards compatible so it can be used with older machines. It’s also a great backup drive for mobile phones (Android Lollipop or higher), and gaming consoles when you need to stash newer games that take up huge amounts of space on the console’s built-in drive.
Great for Video Creators
The Samsung T7’s blistering speed and tiny size make it the perfect solution for videographers, who can record ultra-HD 4K videos directly onto the drive, sparing themselves the effort of having to transfer files from a laptop or data card. Sending the drive and its precious contents off for editing after the job is done is safely done thanks to the T7’s solid aluminum unibody construction, rendering it drop-resistant up to 6 feet. AES 256-bit password encryption is an additional layer of safety and security you’ll appreciate.
Samsung’s Black Friday sale has dropped the price of the fast, rugged, and reliable T7 USB drive by up to $190. For as little as $90 you can have your data and files backed up quickly and securely, and in a tiny package able to be taken anywhere.
