Samsung has unveiled the P7 portable solid-state drive (PSSD), built for content creation, gaming and everyday storage.
Powered by USB 4 connectivity, the device is claimed to be capable of sequential read speeds of up to 4,000 megabytes per second (Mbps) and sequential write speeds of up to 3,800 Mbps, which Samsung says is four times the speed of its previous-generation models.
Weighing 98g, the company says it uses an advanced encryption standard (AES) – 256-bit hardware encryption – to secure data files, and is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Android platforms.
Samsung also claims that the P7 is capable of withstanding drops of up to 2m, and is capable of handling everyday bumps and vibrations.
In terms of storage, the P7 is available in 1TB (RM1,170), 2TB (RM2,350), 4TB (RM4,700), and 8TB (RM9,300) variants. All variants are available in the Black colour option only.
Both the 1TB and 2TB are available now at selected online retailers, while the 4TB and 8TB will be available in 2027.
