Introduction

Samsung T7 is a superfast external storage device that has convenient data protection.

Transfer in a flash

Transfer massive files within seconds with the incredible speed of USB 3.2 Gen2 on the T7. The embedded PCIe NVMe technology facilitates sequential read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s, respectively.

Built strong and safe

SSD stands for Solid State Drive, which means it’s built with no moving parts. A sturdy metal body encases the immobile hardware, keeping your data intact from falls of up to 2 meters. And the T7 is confidently backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

* The internal free fall shock test was conducted under controlled conditions.

Compact Portability

The T7’s pocket-sized and slim design allows consumers to conveniently carry and

access data anywhere. The sleek and slim design of its aluminum metal case offers enhanced durability and mobility. The T7 has lightweight metal body (58g), which is approximately the same weight as an egg. Also, it is slim as thin as a pencil. With this compact and slim design, the T7 is available in up to 2TB.

Thermal Reliability

The T7 integrates the latest thermal management technologies. It safeguards user data and avoids low temperature burns by maintaining optimal operating temperatures via DTG (Dynamic Thermal Guard) and ePCM (encapsulated Phase Change Materials). The DTG technology minimizes overall heat generation, automatically maintaining ideal operating temperatures to safely use the device. The ePCM– a substance protects your T7 from overheating by absorbing excessive heat and releasing it gradually when it changes its phase. In addition, the T7 is protected by a 3-year limited warranty.

Management software

The T7 comes embedded with upgraded software for PCs and Macs to help you set up a password and get the latest firmware updates. You can also download the mobile app for Android smartphones and tablets.

Multi-device compatibility

Access your files anytime, anywhere. The T7 is compatible with PC, Mac, Android

devices, gaming consoles, and more. Included in the box are USB Type C-to-C and Type C-to-A cables for added convenience.

* Compatibility with host devices may vary. Please find the compatible devices list on www.samsung.com/support.

Getting Started

Before using the Samsung Portable SSD T7 (referred to as “T7”), please read this User Manual thoroughly so that you may know how to use the product in a safe and appropriate manner.

What’s In the Box

• Samsung Portable SSD T7

• USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB C to A cable

• USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB C to C cable

• Quick Start Guide & Warranty Statement

How to Connect / Disconnect

① Select the cable compatible with your device. Connect one end of the cable to the

device and the other end to the T7.

② Always use “Eject”, “Unmount” or “Safely Remove Hardware” when disconnecting

the T7 to protect your data.

System Requirements

1. USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Interface Support

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a serial input/output interface standard for connecting various devices. T7’s data transfer speed is optimal with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) and using lower versions such as USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), USB 2.0 and 1.1 may result in lower performances due to interface limitations inherent in such lower versions.

* Performance may vary depending on user’s system to which T7 is connected. Even when using USB

3.2 Gen 2 connections, T7 may not perform well if your system does not support UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol). Please make sure that your system supports UASP.

2. Operating System Requirements

• Windows OS: Windows 7 or higher

• Mac OS: Mac OS X 10.10 or higher

• Android: Android Lollipop or higher

3. File Formats

T7 is pre-formatted in using exFAT file system which is supported by Windows OS, Mac OS, and Android operating systems. Whether data formatted to a certain format may be read or written to your computer vary depending on the OS, as specified in the table below. If you use T7 on a single OS, it is recommended that you format the T7 using the appropriate file format for that OS. (e.g.) Read/write restrictions for file systems by each operating system.

File Formats

Windows OS

Mac OS

exFAT

Both read and write

NTFS

Both read and write

Read only

HFS

Not recognizable

Both read and write

* When using exFAT across multiple operating systems, data writing may become locked and you may only be able to read data. If such problem occurs, you can restore write access by following the instructions below.

• Mac OS: Connect T7 to your Mac again, and perform Eject.

• Windows OS: When the notice pops up saying that write access is disabled, click “Scan and fix” to

perform Check Disk (CHKDSK). If you did shut down the notice without performing Check Disk, you

may do it by selecting the drive → Right-click → Properties → Tools → click Check.

Capacity of T7 Displayed on the System

The capacity reported by the system to which T7 is connected may differ from the labeled capacity, due to the difference between the decimal and binary systems of measurement and other factors including the drive’s partitioning and blocking.

* e.g.: Windows OS: 1 GB = 1,024MB, Mac OS: 1GB = 1,000MB

Labeled capacity uses decimal system and is convertible as below: 1 GB=1,000,000,000 bytes, 1 TB=1,000,000,000,000 bytes Lower capacity may be demonstrated by your computer due to use of a different measurement standard.
