The introduction of the USB-C port on iPhone 15 opened up Apple’s handset to a new world of accessories, including portable SSDs. Using the Files app and other supported apps, you can access files stored on external USB-C devices connected to your iPhone, like this one from Samsung that is currently on sale.
It’s the Samsung T7 Portable SSD, which is a massively popular product in this space, and more specifically, it’s the 1TB model. You get USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity with 1GB read and write speeds, a solid aluminum unibody with drop protection, and 256-bit hardware encryption for just $73.

5 reasons to purchase the Samsung T7 1TB SSD
- Price – this isn’t the lowest price this product has ever scene, but the average price is $110 on Amazon and it was just sitting at $115 last month. Besides, $73 for 1TB is a good SSD deal no matter how you slice it.
- Speed – embedded PCIe NVME tech gives you 1000 megabits per second write speeds and 1050 megabytes per second reading. That’s nearly 10x faster than an external hard drive.
- ProRes – supports recording ultra high resolution (4K 60fps) videos directly to the SSD from your compatible iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max.
- Security – features 256-bit hardware encryption. Full disclosure I know nothing about this topic other than that smart people agree that this is a good thing to have on your portable storage device to protect your data.
- Build – with a solid aluminum body and drop protection tested up to 6 feet, you don’t have to worry about this thing getting thrown around in a pocket, bag, or purse.
