Score: 85/100Rankings
The TEAMGROUP MP33 1TB is a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD delivering up to 1,800 MB/s read and 1,500 MB/s write with high random IOPS, backed by a 5-year warranty. While fast, it remains a TLC-based drive and does not support the latest PCIe 4.0 speeds. Best for mainstream desktops and laptops needing a performance boost without premium cost.
The Samsung T7 Touch 2TB is a compact portable SSD delivering up to 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write speeds with built-in AES-256 encryption and fingerprint security. Its premium aluminum build and drop resistance come at a higher price and lack an IP rating. Ideal for professionals handling sensitive data who need fast, portable storage.

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.
