Smartphone features keep being translated over to other kinds of devices and now the fingerprint scanner has found its way to portable solid state drives.

Adding fingerprint authentication to a portable drive means the data on it cannot be accessed by just anyone. Besides the fingerprint authentication feature, the Samsung T7 Touch also has a ‘Motion LED’, which allows the user to determine the status of the device simply with a single glance. That is similar to LED notification as implemented on some smartphones. The T7 Touch is available in two colours – black and silver, and it comes in three memory variants – 500GB, 1TB and 2TB sizes, The 500GB variant has a $129 price tag, the 1TB variant goes for $229 and the 2TB for $399  It will go on sale in Q2 2020.
