A look at the new Samsung 97 USB4 Portable SSD, which is capable of 4000 MB/s read speeds and set to offer up to 8TBs of expanded storage capacity.

Samsung P7 USB4 Portable SSD
Samsung has unveiled the latest version of its popular P7 line: a new slim, fast portable SSD.
Set to be able to connect to your host system using a USB-C port that uses the 40 Gb/s USB4 standard to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 4000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 3700 MB/s, this latest P7 model should be quite fast, reliable, and capable of some expanded storage capacities of up to 8TB (but, understandably, at a price).
Let’s check out the new Samsung P7 USB4 Portable SSD.

Announced alongside a P9 update as well, this P7 model should be quite appealing for creative professionals, as well as—you know—those working with AI content, or really anyone looking to expand their storage capacity.
With read speeds up to 4000 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 3700 MB/s, this new portable SSD should be fast and durable, with drop-resistance up to 6.5 feet.
The P7 SSD will also be bus-powered and backward compatible with 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and previous standards, plus ready to work with Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, game consoles, and tablets.

While you can explore the SSD more yourself, what’s perhaps most unique about this new model is just how the company is positioning it as a “built for AI-powered content creation” option that is set to be ready for the next generation of AI creators who might be looking to handle larger files, more versions, and growing project libraries that require expanded storage solutions.
The P7, like the P9, will offer up to 8TB of storage, but it will be significantly pricier than the 1TB version. You can check out all models, specs, and prices below.
