Buy Samsung T7 Touch (500GB) at Amazon - $88
Samsung debuted the T7 lineup during CES 2020 and the T7 Touch brought a fingerprint sensor to the popular drive. In addition to password protection and AES 256-bit hardware encryption, you can secure this drive using your fingerprint. Is it a totally necessary security feature? Not necessarily, but it adds another layer of protection to a device that you might use to store sensitive documents.
Otherwise, Samsung didn't deviate from the standard T-series design plan. The regular T7 and the T7 Touch have metal cases that measure roughly the size of a credit card and weigh only two ounces. The unibody is shock-resistant and can withstand drops from up to six feet as well. When it comes to speed, the T7 series is about twice as fast as the previous T5 models, with read speed up to 1,050 MB/s and write speed up to 1,000 MB/s. If you're in need of more storage that's both secure and highly portable, this sale is a good opportunity to grab one of Samsung's latest devices.
