Samsung S7 Touch is a new SSD from the Korean manufacturer, which not only offers fast data transfer but also has an interesting security mechanism. A fingerprint reader that protects encrypted data. They are protected by the AES-256 algorithm. Samsung plans to introduce S7 Touch in the second quarter.
Samsung S7 Touch is a portable SSD, which the company introduced during CES 2020 in Las Vegas, where the company will also present many other devices, such as TV sets. The devices will be available in stores next quarter. There will be three models with capacities of 500 GB for $ 129.99, 1 TB for $ 229.99 and 2 TB for $ 399.99.
Samsung S7 Touch is a drive with a fingerprint reader on the case. It is an extra layer that is supposed to protect the stored data. The data is encrypted with a strong AES-256 algorithm, and pointing your finger at it works just like entering the password to protect the files. The solution is certainly ingenious. The drive will be able to store up to four fingerprints.
The Samsung S7 Touch SSD is also characterized by fast data transfers. Files can be read at a speed of up to 1050 MB/s and written at 1000 MB/s. The device has a 3.2 type USB C port and weighs only 58 grams. There is also an LED on the housing, which indicates when data access has been enabled.
