Samsung is expanding its popular lineup of portable storage solutions with the launch of the T7 Resurrected Portable SSD, a refreshed version of its widely used T7 series. While the drive maintains the same performance figures as the original T7, this new variant takes a significant step forward in sustainable design, making it an appealing option for eco-conscious consumers as well as professional creators who need fast, reliable storage on the go.
A Sustainable Spin on a Popular SSD
The standout feature of the T7 Resurrected is its environmentally responsible construction. Samsung has crafted the external casing using 100% recycled aluminum, certified by TÜV Rheinland. The material is sourced from discarded aluminum generated during Samsung Galaxy device production, creating a circular system that reduces waste and encourages resource reuse within the company’s ecosystem.
The drive also retains the raw, natural look of aluminum. Samsung intentionally skipped the coloring process, which not only enhances the metallic aesthetic but also helps minimize chemical usage during manufacturing.
To complement its eco-friendly design, the T7 Resurrected ships in packaging made from 100% recycled paper and ASA-certified soy ink, reinforcing Samsung’s commitment to cleaner, more sustainable production methods. These sustainability-led efforts earned the T7 Resurrected a 2026 CES Innovation Award in the Sustainability & Energy category.
High-Speed Performance for Creative Workflows
Despite its environmentally focused redesign, the T7 Resurrected does not compromise on speed or real-world usability. It features the same performance capabilities as the standard T7, offering sequential read speeds of up to 1,050MB/s and write speeds of up to 1,000MB/s via the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. This ensures smooth handling of large folders, raw photos, video footage, and project files — a must for content creators, videographers, and professionals who rely on consistent transfer speeds.
These numbers make the portable SSD particularly attractive for tasks like 4K video capture, editing on the move, and transferring large backups across devices.
Compact, Durable, and Built for Versatility
Samsung designed the T7 Resurrected with mobility in mind. At just 85 x 57 x 8 mm and weighing 72 grams, the SSD is roughly the size of a credit card, making it easy to slip into a pocket, camera bag, or laptop sleeve.
The body is engineered to withstand drops of up to two meters, giving users peace of mind when working outdoors or on location. For security, the drive supports AES 256-bit hardware encryption, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected across all compatible platforms.
As expected from the T7 family, the new model offers wide system compatibility. It works seamlessly with Windows, macOS, Android devices, PCs, laptops, tablets, and even gaming consoles, making it a flexible storage companion for creators with multi-device workflows.
Storage Options, Pricing, and Availability
Samsung is offering the T7 Resurrected in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB variants. Global availability begins on November 30, 2025, with pricing set at:
- 1TB — $119.99
- 2TB — $205.99
- 4TB — $378.99
All models come with a three-year limited warranty, along with support for Samsung’s Magician software for performance optimization and drive management.
A Meaningful Choice for Value-Driven Creators
With the T7 Resurrected, Samsung isn’t simply releasing another portable SSD — it’s offering a more responsible alternative for users who value sustainability without sacrificing speed or reliability. By pairing recycled materials with trusted performance, the new drive stands out as a conscious upgrade for creators, travelers, and professionals seeking both durability and environmental impact reduction.
