Professional reviewers such as Tom's Hardware commend the T7 Touch for its ultra-compact size, premium aluminum build, and the combination of high 1,050/1,000 MB/s speeds with fingerprint-based AES-256-bit encryption. They note the inclusion of both USB-C cables and a three-year warranty as positives, while calling out the absence of an IP rating and the need for a USB 3.2 Gen 2 host to achieve advertised performance as minor drawbacks.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the drive's lightning-fast transfers, the convenience of fingerprint unlocking, and its pocket-friendly weight, while common complaints revolve around occasional reformatting requirements, slower speeds on legacy USB ports, and a noticeable warm-up during prolonged heavy use.
Professional reviewers universally hail the MP700 PRO XT as the fastest SSD on the market, emphasizing its record-breaking 3.3 M IOPS, near-15 GB/s sequential throughput, and exceptional power efficiency. They commend its consistent TLC write speed of 4.2 GB/s, single-sided form factor for thin systems, and award it Editor's Choice for low-power excellence, while noting the only drawback is a modest 211 GB pSLC cache.
While formal consumer reviews are scarce, the limited user feedback highlights strong satisfaction with everyday speed gains, such as faster OS boots and responsive application loading, and no major complaints beyond the technical cache size.
