Samsung has relaunched its popular T7 portable SSD as the T7 Resurrected — the same compact, fast drive but redesigned with sustainability at the core. The new model uses recycled materials and cleaner packaging while keeping performance and device compatibility intact.
Familiar speed, redesigned shell
Think of the T7 you know — pocketable, speedy, and durable — now wrapped in a body crafted from 100% recycled aluminum. Samsung sources that aluminum from leftover material in its Galaxy device production and skips the coloring step to reduce chemical use, leaving a natural metal finish. The housing is TÜV Rheinland certified, and the packaging uses 100% recycled paper printed with ASA-certified soy ink. Those eco moves helped the drive win a CES 2026 Innovation Award in the Sustainability and Energy category.
Performance and portability for creators on the go
The T7 Resurrected delivers the same class-leading performance the series is known for: up to 1,050 MB/s sequential read and 1,000 MB/s sequential write over USB 3.2 Gen 2. It comes in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities and maintains the compact T7 dimensions (85 x 57 x 8 mm) and light 72 g weight — ideal for photographers, video editors, and digital nomads who need fast storage on the move.
