Product Manuals
Q: How many fingerprints can be used at a time? Can multiple users use the fingerprint security option?
A: Yes. The device allows multiple finger prints to be saved to unlock. I actually saved both my hands so I never forget which one I setup. Works great.
A: Read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s (per sequence) according to Samsung's website https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/portable-solid-state-drives/portable-ssd-t7-touch-usb-3-2-2tb-black-mu-pc2t0k-ww/# Here is some info from an asterisk on their site: Performance may vary depending on host configuration. To reach maximum read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s, respectively, the host device and connection cables must support USB 3.2 Gen 2 and the UASP mode must be enabled.
A: Yes, The T7 Touch 2TB drive comes with two cords, one Type C and one Type A.
A: potentialbuyer: Samsung drives adhere to the IDEMA standard of advanced formatting, which will result in the drive appearing as less than the listed size. The amount of space that appears to be "missing" is in fact used by the drive/card for storing firmware, metadata and spare blocks. Your operating system (Windows, Linux, etc.) will also affect the usable space -- different operating systems will use different amounts of space to store their metadata. Consequently, formatted space will always be less than unformatted space. You can look IDEMA up online for more technical details about this standard, which is established by The International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association. Should you have additional questions or need assistance, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

A: Yes, it does work with the M1 running 12.5.1. Yes, there is a known issue with it running straight out of the box. However, there is a work around that, although will seem too "complicated", doing it will allow the T7 Touch to work as intended. I consider this a great purchase. I bought a 2nd one after the initial order.
Q: Does the device get hot while it’s being used. Does it work with the M2 chip from Mac?
A: Windows user--of two T7'-2T's--says, "warm to the touch, but not hot"
Q: what is the file format, NTFS or FAT32?
A: You make the choice. Do you want NTFS? If yes, then connect the drive to your PC and use the FORMAT command with the /FS:NTFS switch. If you want, instead, to run with exFAT, then FORMAT with /FS:exFAT switch, etc.
