Samsung T7 external SSD without fingerprint scanner spotted

Earlier this year the Samsung T7 external SSD was released, you know with the fingerprint scanner. Overall that perhaps is a little pricy to add as a feature and well, would you really need it. So as predicted new Samsung T7 external SSDs have been spotted.

The new T7 does not have that fingerprint scanner. A Canadian version on Samsung's website actually already has the specifications online. Everything is the same, except that feature. The updated T7 will be released in 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB. Tlc-nand is deployed with a cache of slc memory that is four percent of the total storage.

Prices have not been announced just yet, but we predict it'll be a notch cheaper.

Ok, so if someone want to steal your data, instead of just stealing your SSD, they will also "borrow" your thumb.

corruption and failure are always fun when dealing with drives that have these hardware "security" gimmicks
