Samsung T7 Resurrected: Where 100% recycled aluminium meets high-speed reliability

A refreshed version of the T7, with the Portable SSD T7 Resurrected, as introduced by Samsung, widens the firm’s sustainable approach whilst maintaining the same performance as the previous model. The body of the new drive is made of 100 per cent recycled aluminium, which is certified by TUV Rheinland. 

Use of recycled aluminium

The sourcing of the recycled aluminium is done by using the leftover material from the production of the company’s Galaxy device series. While developing with the T7, Samsung has eliminated the colouring process, aiding in giving the SSD a natural finish as well as reducing the chemical usage. 

T7 Resurrected packaging is done by utilising 100 per cent recycled paper and ASA-certified soy ink. Implementation of these changes has ensured the firm to nurture a product to gain victory in the 2026 CES Innovation in the category of Sustainability and Energy.

The choice is available from 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB storage options. Keeping the sleek design of the previous model, the T7 measures 85 x 57 x 8 mm, weighing around 72 grams. The lightweight feature of the product is mainly owed to the use of recycled aluminium.
