These days, it’s not exactly uncommon for tech brands to re-release older products as new variations, as seen with the likes of the new POCO tablets from Xiaomi, for example. That in mind, Samsung recently announced that it was re-launching its older T7 storage drive as the T7 “Resurrected” Portable Solid State Drive. While it pretty much retains the features and performance of the original T7 model, this new edition sets itself apart by focusing on recycled materials and more sustainable manufacturing.

As such, one key feature of the T7 Resurrected is its chassis, which Samsung says is made from 100% recycled aluminium sourced from waste generated during Samsung Galaxy mobile device production. The company says that it intentionally skipped the colouring process to showcase the metal’s natural appearance and reduce chemical usage, although it comes with the same overall look. The packaging also reflects this new approach, and uses recycled paper and soy ink (kinda like the old Samsung Galaxy S4 packaging).
On the technical side of things, Samsung promises that the drive remains a powerhouse. It uses USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard to achieve read speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and write speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s, which in theory should make it ideal for managing large files like 4K video. The drive is also pretty compact as well at roughly the size of a credit card, and is durable enough to withstand drops of up to two meters.. For device support, it can be formatted to work with a wide variety of devices, including Windows PCs, Macs, smartphones, and even gaming consoles. For physical and digital protection, it features AES 256-bit hardware encryption.
This isn’t the first time that Samsung has re-released an older device with slightly-updated changes. One good example is the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, which has had three different versions over the years including the original, as well as 2022 and 2024 variants. Even the original T7 drive itself has another more durable variant dubbed the T7 Shield.

Going back to the T7 Resurrected, interested buyers can purchase the new drive starting November 30, 2025. It will be available in three capacities with suggested retail prices of $119.99 for the 1TB model, $205.99 for the 2TB version, and $378.99 for the 4TB option.
