Hi everyone!

Once I got home, I copied more work into it, to free some space on my previous hard drives. Now I have all my work on it, but if I open the "Work" folder properties the "read-on

Samsung Releases New Portable SSD T7 Touch external storage device

Samsung’s newest pocket-sized external solid state drive delivers lightning-fast speeds and convenient fingerprint security in a sleek, durable package

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the release of its latest external storage device – the Portable Solid State Drive (SSD) T7 Touch – which combines sleek, compact design with the fastest transfer speeds currently available based on the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard. The new device also elevates data protection to the next level with an additional hardware security measure in the form of a built-in fingerprint sensor.

“Consumers who are constantly on the go between work, play and passion projects want to be able to securely carry their content with them,” said Dr. Mike Mang, vice president of Brand Product Biz Team, Memory Business at Samsung Electronics. “Now their data is secure thanks to the fingerprint recognition functionality incorporated into the product, which delivers industry-leading transfer speeds in a compact form factor.”

Designed for both professional and casual users, Samsung’s T7 Touch provides enough capacity to securely store large numbers of pictures, games or 4K/8K videos whether on a PC, tablet, smartphone or game console[1], as well as the durability to take their content with them[2].

The T7 Touch offers a significant speed upgrade over previous storage solutions. With a read speed of 1,050MB/s and a write speed of 1,000MB/s[3], it is approximately twice as fast as its predecessor, the T5, and up to 9.5 times faster than external HDDs[4]. Moreover, the device can reach its maximum speed when used with the NVMe interface.

For an added layer of security, the T7 Touch brings the first built-in fingerprint scanner to Samsung SSDs on top of password protection and AES 256-bit hardware encryption. It also features a ‘Motion LED’, which allows the user to determine the status of the device simply with a single glance. Despite the considerable speed boost, hardware additions and solid metal (aluminum) casing, the new SSD still weighs in at a light 58 grams. The innovative nature of Samsung’s T7 Touch has been recognized at the CES 2020 Innovation Awards.

Available in a black or silver finish, the T7 Touch is offered in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of use cases. To ensure reliable connectivity wherever the users may be, the drive comes with a USB Type-C-to-C cable and a USB Type-C-to-A cable, and is compatible with Windows, Mac and Android operating systems. The T7 Touch also includes a three-year limited warranty with manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) of $129.99 for the 500GB, $229.99 for the 1TB and $399.99 for the 2TB.

The T7 Touch is available starting this month in over 30 countries worldwide. Following the release of the T7 Touch, the Portable SSD T7 is expected to be launched in the second quarter. For more information, please visit samsung.com/ssd.

Samsung SSD External Drive not Recognised

Hi,
I'm having issues with Windows 10 recognising my Samsung SSD T7 External SSD.

My Linux PC and Android device are both able to recognise it. I have tried repartitioning on my linux machine with Fat32 and NTFS, but to no avail.

Windows 10 version: 21H2

The device is not visible in Disk Management or File Explorer, but is visible in Bluetooth & other devices >> Other Devices as "PSSD T7" but reads "Driver Error"

When I connect the SSD, a new storage controller "USB Attached SCSI (UAS) Mass storage Device" appears in Device Manager, but has a warning sign. In properties >> General >> Device status it reads:

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)

The driver could not be loaded because a previous version of the driver is still in memory. "

I have updated USB drivers and the storage controller driver mentioned above. I have also updates Samsung's portable SSD software. The application does not recognise the device.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
